    FS: RM Auction Amelia Island 1971 911S Bargain ??

    3D630460-AC25-4057-9DEA-9D29508D85CD.jpgDF7DFA1C-56CC-4C6B-8EF3-E211F0DC1103.jpg 6F4CC98E-3347-4DF9-BA52-AE76EBA148F0.jpg. Anyone check this car out ?? Seems way under the money !! Including buyers fee !! I was there and thought was nice but did not do an in-depth inspection. Did not expect this price.

    I don't have a lot of specific details but I had a guy there looking at cars for me and, in his words, "worst car here".

    I owned that car. Worst car here may be a bit over critical. It is a full numbers matching, very solid, sorted car that drove very well and was a strong driver quality car. Yes it is red. Someone got a hell of a deal. I feel for the seller.

    Didn't mean to insult anyone. "Worst car here" might not be as bad as it sounds given the company at Amelia.

    I saw the car, up close at the preview
    Paint looked very nice, smooth & shiny....but the rest seemed lacking. Chrome trim was scratched, pitted, etc. Not a bad car at all, but def needed the "little things" to bring the rest of the car in line with the shiny paint. At that price worth buying & enjoying, then finish when ready. IMHO only

    He said the car needed lots and lots of little things. A thousand papercuts. Good deal regardless.
