Olive 71 on the for sale
No affillation, but just curious why it has not received some attention? Everybody seems to be looking for an early car.
On the Porsches for sale section " Porsche 911t coa Price too high? Or something else. Just curious.

Tangent, then answer:
With any car, but especially these old 911s it's tough to tell via an ad. You have to be in front of, underneath, poking around under floor mats, etc.. And personally, I'm more inclined to buy a car priced right but needing a respray than one that's had a recent one. I'd rather know exactly what's underneath that shiny paint and know it was done right by somebody I trust. But that's just me. "Everyone seems to be looking for an early car" but not everyone really wants to buy one or knows that they're loud, smelly, sometimes crochety old vehicles. Not saying this car has issues, but typically older cars priced right need a few things addressed.. In this market the ones that move are: - Turn-key perfect restorations priced to the moon which find their way to wealthy "collectors" - Cars needing a full restoration priced at around 25% of the finished product. The middle-of-the-road cars sit because they're priced too high for the average joe, but not finished to the standard of the wine n cheez set. Basically, this car appeals to the guy that wants an early 911 to drive, knows HOW they drive and what to expect from the car, knows HOW to drive them, doesn't mind that the engine bay, trunk, likely underside, etc aren't restored perfectly, and has nearly 70k to drop rather than try to build his own from a 20-30k "barn find". Pretty small demographic. This car - Price seems right, photos make the car look good, very nice (maybe polarizing?) color. The ad doesn't mention anything about a mechanical service, brakes, suspension, etc, which can really add up for or scare off the non-mechanically-inclined. And what's with this PMS guy calling the old ones garage queens? |
