I'm repeating myself here, but... Some guy builds a backdated car half in his garage and half at a body shop and it sells for $120-150k. Then a nice 930 comes along and people state it's an $80k car because of...
I do see both sides. Parts cost $$$.
My caliper rebuild at PMB cost more than my first car. I don't like that I wont see that cost returned, if I were selling, just because its a 930.

It's pretty easy. The market/demand is hotter for hotrod backdated (NA) longhoods than driver quality modded 930s. I also don't see people in the market for a hotrod backdate cross shopping with modded 930s. If there were a bunch of people posting "what's my RSR backdate worth" threads in the PP marketplace, I'm sure there would be a huge range of opinions/valuations just like the recent 930 threads.
If you gave a us a specific examples I'm sure we are happy to explain "why" or "why in the hell" did someone pay X amount for that backdate.
