Price for 1972 2,8 RSR build
 

xxx ...

Do you have the original engine still too? Or is the only engine with the car the converted 2.0l one? No interior to speak of, I assume? And inside pictures?

When I bought the car years ago I was told that the original engine was replaced with 1667 or 1968 Alu engine with the listed mods. (I forgot oil spuirters and the 2,8 piston and cylinders.) I don´t know the numbers of the original engine and if it still exists, -I bought the car without it. I have to search my old computer for engine and interior pics. The interior is a lightweight carped, a Momo Prototypo steering wheel and a Corbeau driver seat. I cannot remember the brand of the passenger seat. The car is not very close to me at the moment. If I cannot find old pics I will drive there next weekend.

Love the sound. A market value is not easy to determine, but I would think it would be in the $55-60K range.

I would agree with TW's value. If it really is a streetable car, it has even more appeal. We just completed a full mechanical conversion on our 69 car. Similar engine (mag 2.7 short stroke, but carbs) custom CMS C,GA,KA,S,X Close ratio 901 box with all of the strengthening upgrades that can be made on a 901, and LSD, similar race suspension etc. believe it or not the car is more streetable now than it was with the stock configuration. The only thing we couldn't run were the stinger megaphones, which did not have enough back pressure for the street. The car is blindingly fast, with 245 HP at 7300 RPM and weighs in the mid 1900's. These cars are great fun, and get tons of attention at cars and coffeehttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1455046403.jpg

I was going to say $60-75k but Techweenie is WAY more in touch with this particular market than I am....

Matt, for a buyer who is looking for this type of car, 75K is not out of line. Someone could tone down the exterior "race look" and have a real sleeper. It's not hard to get these cars down to 1900 lbs, and with horsepower in the mid 200's and close gears, these cars are hard to outrun. We decided not to do any cutting to the original chassis or bodywork for flares etc. I think a chassis W.O the cut out flares would have more value for someone who wanted a more subtle look

I'm confused. Who is selling this car?

Of course it cost more than $75k to build this car. A JWE Spec911 will run you close to twice that on an SC/3.2 chassis. But you can't ever sell a racecar for what you paid for it. The labor is a write off and the parts depreciate the second you drive it once.

Well, I won't say never. Really nice builds sometimes changes hands for what it cost to builds them. So back to the original question, who is selling this car? Sounds like you built it but don't own it. Or do you?

Hi,built on a aluminum case and called a twin-plugged motor.Show me the beef or spark plugs on the lower valve cover.An original 2.8 RSR motor had 49 mm intake valves.46mm intake valve does not quailify for 2.8 spec.Thanks Fred

Faapgar knows his Porsches! no debate there

I would agree with Matt the ask on this would be in the 70k range.How many hours on the engine? If this car can be made streetable The price should be close to the 70k mark...big question is how useable is the engine is for the street. High comp high RPM screamer may sound fun but not the best choice for cars and coffee.

Just re read the listing 10.1:1 Comp. , it's a car I would look twice at!

Cheers
John

plus are the fact it's a 72, with a proper spec'ed engine. Car shows well.

Negative is the engine is a bit of an unknown for use and you will need to show build info.
I would esitmate $60k-70k$ but that's a real ball park shot without seeing the car

I think based upon the build that $70,000 is quite reasonable starting point. If I was the buyer (and this car is one I find captivating), I would anticipate investing another $15,000 to create a proper street hotrod out of this car....

Marconi, what would anticipate having to do to that car to make it a "proper" street hot rod?

My build is very similar and I am wondering what I might have missed.

First "proper" is my term and of course is subjective.....

Interior: I would want to replace the seats, dash, door panels based on the picture. Replace missing interior trim, eliminate the full roll cage.

The balance of the funds will go to a final conversion from track to street.. This might include engine tuning and a servicing to what ever other issues might be in need of tidying.

Thanks
