Did anyone even see the car in the ad?

I hate when everything is erased like that.

What an a-hole.

There was a car on the ad initially. Now gone. Hopefully they delete quickly. Tim

He now changed the text to a wanted ad...

I just wish folks would leave the ad and original asking price. No need to disclose the actual deal...

I saw it.
it was 77 Carrera 3.0 for 55000. silver color.
only one picture.
seller disclosed engine is not number matching.
didn't know if the ad was real though.

It lasted about 35 minutes.. I saw it right when it came up. Not sure what that is worth w/o the matching engine. $70-$90k? But sure whoever bought it for $55k must be happy.

Didn't see the ad but underselling like that would be a weird move from that guy Dino, who seems to be a flipper's flipper.

He's playing everyone.

Anyone know what happened to this car? I saw the ad briefly. Is it real?

Matt Monson · 01-27-2016, 12:24 PM

It's back up...

A couple years ago I would have said what's the fuss? - it's just an old silver SC. Now the 3.0 Carrera is a pretty legit Carrera and getting some big money. Nice looking car. Wouldn't that have been all the money with the incorrect engine?

If it's a correct 930/02 replacement case and not a run of the mill 3.0 SC motor the value might not take a huge hit. What's special about these motors is the 2.7 RS crank and flywheel and I believe the clutch assembly was part aluminum.

I've seen discussed that a complete 930/02 motor is a $15-25k item alone not considering a rebuild.

Numbers matching is of course preferred and will certainly be a big deal in the future going forward. Similar to 911S, 911RS, 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI having their correct motors.

Probably a smoking deal then. If the motor is that special - I remember one in the for sale section 4 years ago and it went for $4k - and it went very quickly. Special cars for sure. They will only become more and more special as time goes on.

pu911 · 01-27-2016, 08:28 PM

I don' t think the crank is anything special, it's a 6 bolt 70.4 mm crank, the cases are sought after they are great for building good race motors. The 3.0 have increased in value significantly in the few years, I sold a basket case targa a couple of years ago, I knew I'd regret it and I do.
