Actually, it's not a real piece of Porsche history and that is why it's less valuable. Porsche never put a 2.7 CIS motor in a 1967 SWB 911. And anyone would not be happy to own it, what a weird statement.

All of the crazy value of air cooled 911s has to do with collector value. Or do you think that your car is $70k worth of fun? You can't be serious if you do. We used to buy cars like that for $8k and that was when people bought them for fun, not as investments. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a fun car. I once owned a 1970 911E coupe that someone put a 2.7 CIS engine in back when the cars were worth nothing, they probably scrapped the numbers matching engine when it needed rebuilding or something. That's how stupid people were. My car was quick and ran great, just like yours, I'm sure but your car was a '67S which is worth a fortune and now the most important part of it is gone.

I also noticed they raised their cap of their cut from the buyer. From 5k to 7.5k

You probably should have taken the $70k if you want to sell the car. The market has spoken, twice.
