Project Nasty 1985 911

I always liked this car.

I've seen many of the videos and followed the development.

Why it didn't sell? What was the reserve?

What do you think is the market value for a car like this?

The bids weren't high enough.

LOL!

Nice to see that others understand the difference between value and worth. I'm constantly railing over on BAT about it and most of the sideline commentators have no real understanding. One of my pet peeves I guess.

IMO this was all the money for that car.

Too much snake oil and fairy dust not achieving expected results.

Like I said in that other thread, not a $400k car.

85

With a Rothsport engine and a long list of high end upgrades Im sure the seller is likely into the car for $300k . Its hard to get a full return on any race inspired street car . That said I think its wicked 85 and definitely done to a high standard . GLWS

2021 price in 2024. The bubble has burst. Prices are coming down. Many of you have probably heard of "The Greater Fool Theory" but that is what drove prices up from 2020- mid 2023.

IMO $265K for that car was all the money.

For the love of God, sophisticated seller doesn't realize you never get back what you invest into a build?

You mean influencing doesn't pay?
