mmmmmmm nice project, needs a full resto whats a full restored 65 going for?

thats one of Mangnus's cars ...

I am sure its not in need of anything ....

Look at the pics in the ad ..

o .. you guys had a funny going ...

i did, needs a lot. it's basically a mess

Magnus is quite clear in the ad that it's not one of his builds...

It's a desirable car though, so if you have enough to put in to the renovation, it could be lovely. That said, it already seems relatively expensive considering the amount of work needed.

Got to admit its a darn good job of documenting a cars condition for an ebay ad.

65-911 MOTOR # 902119 TYPE 901/01 2019

starts right up,idles fine has a knock under load above 3000Rpm -has a few leaks....


MILAGE & HISTORY ARE UNKNOWN

should have a rebuild.....
***************************

Yep, definitely needs some work.

Selling as-is, is likely a smart move. Could be a money pit. :rolleyes:

That NEVER happens around here! :)

LOL. The comments just made me LOL. All of them griping about how overpriced it is - it's a '65. ANY '65 in this condition is going to fetch huge money. Heck, a basket-case '65 is going to fetch eye-popping money.

I'm going to live to regret the day I sold a '65 912 RHD project car for next to nothing.

This car? I wouldn't be surprised if it closed out the auction around $100k. With where things are headed a car like this is $200-250k restored. The day is coming and it is close.

Anyone interested in a numbers-matching '65 for $70K? PM me.

So...he killed the ad and started over.....

No, he sold it outside of eBay. Rumor has it at North of $100K. But you know how rumors are...

Wonder what the commish woulda been to FleaBay at 100K.

$125 flat fee on eBay automobile sales.

Interesting......you think the buyer was worried it would go over 100K? Or the seller said WTF, SOLD?

You're calling for speculation on the part of the witness there, sir.

On the other hand, what is "Porsche Marketplace Discussion" other than mindless speculation?

;-)

Dunno, Jefe....1st time here. Some dickless admin sent my thread over here.

Joe Bob, we need you here. Whenever I see that mindless yellow thing you have jumping up and down, I think you should paint it green, and call it a chili pepper.

Find me a green obnoxious jumping weenie that fits the limit....it's the new avatar.....

SO..........Magnus did not sell that car.

Magnuswalker911.com for "the rest of the story...."

For those skipping the blog entry, some guy who previously owned & sold the original engine saw the kardex in the ebay ad, and hooked Mr. Walker up with the new owner.

After some negotiations (and no doubt a hefty transfer of fundage) the red '65 has been reunited with its original (and now beautifully rebuilt) engine.

Maybe it is worth it to Mr. Walker to rebuild it -- or maybe the for sale price just doubled!

Cool story, though. You gotta love the power of the interwebs.

I see ads for engines to original rides, first time I heard of a match.....

This car had a lot going for it from a "matchmaking" standpoint:

1. The Magnus Walker connection

2. Featured on Bring a Trailer.com

Tens of thousands of eyeballs perused those ads.

it's now for sale at gooding & co.
1972 Porsche 911 STRII offered for auction | Hemmings Motor News

What am I missing? That's a link to his '72. Or is the '65 also back on the market?

No, I think somehow someone bought the '65 and 'front' dated it into the '72...seems like a good idea to me.:D
