Were you referring to the BaT car? Or the car in question in this thread? The BaT car ended up going for $115k + buyer premium.

Pretty sure it was built by Kundensport. Its been bouncing around the markets for several years. When first listed, the asking price was well north of $100k. That was a couple / few years ago, the market was hotter. I had seen it listed as low as mid $80's at one point. Couple years ago, on a whim I offered the seller at that time, $65k for the car and got an insulting reply. (different seller than the current seller)... That's fine, I made a low offer because I didn't have a whole lot of info and it had been on the market for at least a year at the time.
IMO, it looks okay as a driver. Its not really much of a clone. The wide body is not really rsr, and for the most part its just a bunch of parts rather than a well executed build, whose sum, sort of looks like an RSR. Just my opinion but a clone or tribute should be closer to the original. I would call it a widebody backdate, that was done on a budget to someone else's taste. Also my 2 cents but $75k feels a little pricey to me. $75k is sort of no mans land for a hot rodded back date. You can build one probably more to your liking for less or you can spend more and get a really well executed one someone else built.

The Green and white car. As others have said, its not bad, just a very loose representation of an RSR. Like trader 220 pointed out, its really just a widebody backdate.

This is my RSR Tribute and although not perfect its a little closer to the RSR form.

I believe it sold last year to the current seller for in the $80s. I think the current seller is in the $90s. Good advice on the pricing. I bet if this car was on BaT it would go for $100+ though. |

Thank you sir! As I mentioned, there are a few differences, Lindsay 17" Fuchs vs. the 15" non polished and a few other minor details but I guess that's what differentiates a Tribute and a clone. I guess the turbo 3.2 isnt quite period correct either but its sure lots of fun. You cant be a poser in an RSR look! I'm sure any Porsche fanatic will immediately recolonize the rear plate and realize that its a backdate.

The green and white car has no hood emblem. Maybe it's not a real Porsche.

Maybe it’s built on a 914. They have no emblem either.

You may not have noticed, but Rod's RSR has a little extra Go with that Show!

I think he was talking about the thing connected to that underdash boost gauge.

Thanks for the compliments guys! The muffler is a RarlyL8 Outlaw so shout out to Brian for making a fantastic piece. It bolts directly to the turbo and its a little tight but fits. Im not a big fan of extra gauges and really struggled with finding a suitable location so figured Id mount them low and not so "in your face". Unfortunately the reality is that with a turbo motor a wide band air/fuel and boost gauge are mandatory. There's actually another component as well which is the Split Second controller that handles air/fuel ratio designed to go in the dash, but i managed to hide that one under the seat. ![]()

I think it looks good, but I could never do it. 6'3" with a 34" inseam. I hit my knees on the steering wheel as it is. I would end up putting them in the radio location I think.
