Top sale..... 1972 ST Tribute... $239,900
1972 Porsche 911 ST Coupe Tribute – Autokennel
This is got to be a top sale for 2016 in the Hot Rod category and a prime example of the exceptional cars still getting all the money...... |

$239,900 and theres holes in the bumpers? couldn't install the trim or have them filled?
Seriously a nice car, but why not finish it? Missing the fender grills too... |

Wow! Over a quarter mil for a replica; albeit an exceptional one.
Sweet car. MattR

Who buys this type of tribute for this type of money? It is a well thought out build but it is more retro than an actual ST; 3.5L v 2.4L, modern suspension and cooling etc...... Last edited by Macroni; 11-03-2016 at 07:02 AM.. |

 I know of several instances where people owned actual special cars and built reps to drive instead of putting the miles on the original. 901 Shop has done a couple of those, as have others. Years ago I had a client in the UK with an actual ST and while he drove the car, he spent nearly $100k doing up an engine and gearbox to put into the car and put the numbers matching stuff on the shelf. People with real money do things that don't make much sense to us punters.

I'm not a rich man by any North American standard but if I had the $ this car would be something 'd consider and happily spend the money instead of time on.
That said I have a pre-boom priced impact car and do a lot of the style upgrades myself that I could afford to pay a mechanic to do - as long as it doesn't keep the car off the road (me doing a simple valve adjust would mean I wouldn't drive for like a month but me doing carpet or door panels or AC pull feels easy and takes 5 hours of fun and then I drive and have 'improved' my car) Either way I love everything about this build |

In my fantasy world, I'd probably consider buying or building something like this over buying, say, a Singer.
