912 swt

[christiandk]

Guys,

I was begged to buy a soft window targa 912 a couple of years ago. Back then the car was not interesting. Now, yes!

68' tangerine. just a driver but original with docs from day one. Totally stock like it left Zuffenhausen but with patina.

40-60k?

Gee, Christian I hope so for your sake.
But my God…that's serious money for a 912!

[christiandk]

Well Nick, I never studied up on the SWT. I know too little about the pre bumper cars.

Cheers,

Christian

I owned 2 back in the day. Would've never dreamed about those numbers.

I bet that's a $50k car. This day has been coming for a while now.

Very nice car 68 912 euro early 68 rear grille mid year they were barless. Do you have any inside pict.Just like mine 6809 paint code.40-50k

That's what they sell for, I know of a few sales in the mid $60's. I'll be asking almost half that for a 67 swt project I'm going to sell, needs 25k in work, but worth 60 or more when done. They only make 544 in 67 and about 1200 in 68

I would prefert this one at 50k than pay 25k and work+ 25k 1968 are one year door panel mirror all king small stuff.

Guy told me that there is no stamp on the engine case.......that probably takes 10K from the value!?

Actually if I had the room for a third car I would probably go for a 924 Turbo....lots of them in Italy, and I believe that their time is coming.

But if docs from day one it should be written if engine have been remove .

Given the relatively low price and abundance of 944 Turbos, what is the appeal for 924 Turbos? Is it just a matter of production numbers?

I see a lot of running 944 Turbos for $5-7k, with good driver cars around $8500-12k depending on mileage & history.

Not saying you are wrong -- just curious to understand your thinking.

well not there 1 hour later..ad is gone

[NYNick]

May I just ask this one(stupid) question?
Why are they so stinkin' valuable? Has to be scarcity alone, because there are a lot more 'cars for the money' than these out there.

Well Colb, I was thinking that the 924 is what the longhoods would be to the 911s. Of course there is the thing with the audi motor, but somehow the simplistic 70s design appeal to me.

Here are some

I dare you to find a good original 951 below 12K.

[914agogo]

its all an illusion..so much of big numbers being thrown out there but the reality is very few are in that price range category that would pass the sniff test...asking prices are making leaps and bounds every other week reaching new highs but are they SELLING?

[christiandk]

Sorry have to post this cool pic....I love police Porsches. Imagine making a turbo look like that. Should be easy and reversible with foil.
