I'm not going to even look at the link. 911Ts are nice in their own right but 145K for a T is nuts. People need to take a step back and think about it for a minute before they place their bid. Aren't you half way to Singer money at that point?

1/3 to 1/4 the way to a Singer.

The link doesn't work for me. But I agree that that sort of money for a T is stupid.

It includes two engines. Numbers matching complete 2.2 and a 2.7 RS build installed. That's worth an extra 20k at least...

I saw that car at RM in Monterey last month. Lots of incorrect details to pick over, including an aftermarket sunroof and the non-matching engine installed (but as Bill notes, the original was included). But the car was very nicely finished. Hard to find fault with the paint, trim or interior if you didn't mind some "incorrect" details. Finish quality is what sold the car IMO.

As George stated, some incorrect details as well. But in the day we were all adding front spoilers, better mirrors, seats, retracting belts, and more. In that way a car like this is more authentic for an enthusiast of the period than box stock, which everyone measures against now.
It's all good. This is not a misrepresented car, and probably a good value in today's market. JMHO, YMMV

The link works but you have to click and paste. Does seem quite high. Even with the 2.7 motor, it's hard to see this car clearing 100K.
