How much would you pay for this restored 911 RSR tribute?

Lot of work done to it. Engine completely rebuilt to pretty much 3.6 specs (no?). Interior completely redone. Exterior painted, flares, backdated.

Just a complete package. Just curious what it might be worth in today's market.

Looks nice. Is it for sale at the link or is that an old ad? How much are they asking?

Yep, it's for sale. I didn't want to poison the pot by giving the price. Wanted people to weigh in first. :D

Well, the receipts show the car can be replicated to a buyers exact desire for less than $75k, so there's your high water mark.

Unless he puts it on BaT....someone dolt will prob pay $200k for it.

Says over $50k in restoration receipts. That would mean a stock ‘86 Carrera for $25k to start with? Seems a little light perhaps.

Yeah seems like a good BaT car to really drive up the price.

Doesn't need to be an '86, just any roached-out 911 with a mezger case*. That can be sourced for WELL south of $25k, hence the $75k max note. Hell, I'll bet there's beat up G50's with engine issues that can be had for less than $25k.


*engine subject to builders tastes. Doesn't need to be a 3.2 oddly punched out (I only say oddly because I've never seen it before and don't understand it; it could be an epic build). 2.7RS or a 3.2ss are just, if not more desirable options.

all that and the sugar scoops were maintained. they look horrible on this car.

I agree, the headlights look horrible, and so does the chunked out rear bumper where it is contacting the muffler. I can’t believe they would leave something like this. Stands out like a sore thumb.

It has been on the market for at minimum a year if not close to two years now. There has to be more to the story than a high asking price.

Give me a break with that motor your going to listen to the radio? The car looks awesome worth every penny

It actually sold late last year to the current seller, who is a dealer. Now he’s selling it. I’m contacting the builder to try and get some more info. Seems like a solid build, but who knows. Lots of interior customization. Haven’t seen many 3.2’s ported to a 3.6. Has good hp numbers per dyno.

It lacks tons of detail. No chrome trim, wrong wheels, sugar scoops, sunroof, the interior is fair at best, the front flares appear to be 930 not the correct RSR profile. Just my .02

I’m the same place. This car is too personalized and too rough around some edges for me to care. I wouldn’t pay $75k for it.

What is the ask on it?

Interesting comments. I thought it was a pretty high class build but I dont know all the details on what a RSR should be. I thought it just looked badass. Ask was $95k. Seller/builder last year had it listed for $90k.

There’s an arse for every seat. Things I think are tacky you might like. No right or wrong to tastes. Just takes one buyer to sell a car.

Came in to post this.

I'm not a fan of that build, but it's probably worth $75k.

I prefer a longhood Hotrod over a backdate.

Op pm me if interested for less than the ask of the car you are looking athttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1526609536.jpg

I bet this goes for $130k+.

I tend to agree. Its still a nice car, I've just seen better RSR tributes.

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.

You either delete the radio or install a period Blaupunkt.

Gorgeous ride!!!

Yep build by Kundensport. Actually called and talked to the owner for a bit. Just said it was a nice, high quality build and the car was pretty fast. He didn't build the engine, just the exterior and interior. Not sure who built the engine. Said they dyno'd it and was somewhere around 280-290hp.

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!

Only one exhaust pipe ?

Try this.
It's "cheap" too.

I love the single center pipe

Car looks great.

Enjoy it!

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. :D

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.
