That car sounds/looks amazing. Love it.

[Matt Monson]

I've seen that car before. It's a work of art. I would rather that than a real R or Sport Purposes from the factory.

That build is amazing.

912...... already fully valued...... someone can knock themselves out over it.

What do you think this car is worth in todays market? Honestly.

[stevesc_us]

Holy smokes, I was so mesmerized by how good the build looks that I didn’t even notice it was a 912 originally.

ya they don't mention 912 in the title

In a custom build, what does it matter if it started life as a 912 or a 911? It is a custom built hot rod using a altogether different drive train than the original. So instead of not using a 4 cylinder they did not use a 6 cylinder? what does that matter?
The end product is the same other than the vin# between a 912 and a 911 built hot rod.

Nice car.

Not only that but the link itself is titled as a 911 and it shows up in a "Porsche 911" search on their site.

"this Porsche 1968 912 was..." Opening sentence. I don't see any hiding anything.

[Macroni]

912 chassis is irrelevant in my opinion.... just fun to bust balls.... this car will sell strong but it probably should. It is a well thought out build in a great color.... $110,000 to $120,000.

That's the ballpark I'm guessing. Probably will go for more since it's BAT though.

That’s an interesting topic. So if starting as a 912 has no impact then I suppose if it’s a 74-75 carrera or 74-77 euro carrera that’s been hot rodded it would conversely not be worth any additional? What if it was a hot rodded RS or R or ST? I honestly think the VIN makes a difference but I think it’s definitely an interesting conversation to be had

The vin# does have an impact so does matching engine and transmission #'s to perceived value. but in the real use of something it has none.
It is a interesting topic.

[pmax]

that's some bad handling.

I think the VIN/matching # engine/transmission will make a differance if the fully original restored concourse quality car is worth more than the modded example. If not it doesn’t mean anything. Case in point.

I guess what I’m asking is let’s say you build a ‘74 3.0 RS is there any added value if you start with a 74 US Carrera versus a 74 911 S versus an 80 SC?
