Lot's of things need to be corrected. Looks ok if you like red.

I wish I could hire someone exclusively to browse online enthusiast forums/PCA mart sections every second looking for good quality early cars. Whenever I have had interest in a particular car and I have contacted the seller (which I did in this above mentioned car's case) the car is sold just before I called .... Only to come back a few weeks later for a much higher price. Nothing against these buyers but for an enthusiast who wants to own a piece of history at a reasonable cost of admission it is somewhat disheartening. My dream would be to own a original car from an enthusiast and if I cant find one just build a sleeper hot rod from a rust free shell. I have a great resource if I choose to do the latter from a very well respected member.

Not to take anything away from this thread, but...yep. I just had a old friend that I hadn't talked to in years that had a '65, he even could not get to the garage any more. Put an add up somewhere asking about how much it was worth. Some one saw it and grabbed it, way under market. I'm waiting to see when it comes up for sale for 3X the money. Sad to see that happen to a past 911 enthusiast and old friend.

Is it me, or does it look like the rear lid is way out of whack? I remember when the car originally came up here. I was hoping someone here purchased it. Are the resellers grabbing them all?

[Eminence Gris]

Gaps look subpar to me for a car at this price. Driver's door front edge is flared out a bit. Rear lid looks wonky from the left rear angle, right door gap better, but no cigar. Yeah, I'm being picky, but once they go into 6 figures, I think you have the right to be.

......I was hoping someone here purchased it. Are the resellers grabbing them all?

The email response I got from the owners of those two cars that I looked into which were accounted for within 24 hrs was
" Sorry the car is sold to an enthusiast just like you " Both those cars came up for sale within a month

Let me share one more story. I recently brought an early car to be PPI'ed which outsources their bodywork. The bodyshop guy happened to be a wheeler dealer who outbid me for the car by 2K. I lost $$ in the bargain (nonrefundable deposit that the owner wanted just to release the car and the cost of the PPI)

I understand the make hay while sunshines scenario and thats one of the reasons my brain says ditch the early car and go for a G series 911 (pristine 915 equipped driver quality cars can be got for early $30K's ..there a lot less wheeler dealers involved in that market) and who knows may be their value will be in the 80s over the next decade. But my heart says early car in signal colors .. It certainly is the "re"sellers market for these longhoods.

I noticed that Porsche used car/restoration shops especially in Costa Mesa but not limited to have surrogates that pose as enthusiasts and buy cars. I assume these surrogates get a cut of the resale when the car is flipped. How do I know this? It happened to me a few years back. This is more than likely Stand Operating Procedures, these places are out to make money not friends.
