As some of you know I just bought this car from another Pelican member who is helping a collector liquidate his collection. I'm not trying to flip the car, really just hoping to get my money back out of the car.
1982 ROW Coupe with widebody conversion and rebuilt drivetrain.

I haven't owned a Porsche in over 8 years, and in the last 12 months I feel like i'm going through cars like underwear trying to figure out what I want to settle down with for the long haul.
I sold my 964 coupe to buy this car and planned on making this one my keeper. However......I was very fortunate to stumble across a low mileage original condition 964 C2 Coupe about an hour from my house for a great buy. Although this SC is a hoot to drive, and faster than the 964, the 964 just does everything so well. It is soooooo smooth! I quite honestly didn't realize how good the 964 was until I got back into a G-series car. Not that a G-series is bad, but what a difference between the two!
That said, one has to go and I can't bring myself to let go of such a low mileage original 964 C2 coupe.............
So, the big question. Can I get $35k back out of this car this time of year?
Car has $38k in receipts for mechanical work / maintenance. Rebuilt engine, intake, exhaust, transmission refresh, fresh valve adjust, etc. Does not include the cost of the conversion which was done before previous owner bought the car.
