Assuming this cars providence can be verified... Maybe this isn't such an un resonable price for an unmolested 930 SE. It is rare and anything rare with a Porsche badge will always command big money.

Look at any RSR from the seventies. Some of those cars are changing hands at well over $1,000,000 USD

If I had the money I would buy this car and drive it but also spend serious money on taking very good care of it... It could easily see 7 figures within 10 years. That would be one of the smartest investments going at the moment and the owner knows this.

Just as a side note as to how ridiculousness car values can be....

This car reminds me of a Gembala modified 930 of the same vintage which was for sale in Adelaide about 8 years ago.

It was a flat nose like this one and was a metallic Olive Green... It had a full Gembala custom interior in white with period Recaros and the usual Gembala custom door trims and cassette storage under the dash. (A row of single cassette draws along the bottom of the dash) It had LCD gauges with beige faces. Kinda cool when you think that the car was built in the mid 80s.

One of the interesting thing about the car was that the bellows and rub strips that are normally black were "painted" Olive Green to match the car. I really wouldn't mind finding out how this was done. What product did they use to make the paint stick to the rubber and be flexible at the same time? Does anybody know?

It was in a car yard on Grange road, Just outside the city... I remember thinking that to modify a 930 to such a level would have cost a fortune in 1985. Probably in the region of $200,000 USD... Plus the cost of the 930 in the first place... From memory they were asking about $45,000 for the car!!!
