Finally okay to throw $$$ into that "non-original-hot-rod-driver"?

Cool car. Color looked 356 to me. Like a darker Meissen Blau. Or a non-metallic Diamond Blue from the 911.

Let's go back to Bob's original question. What happens to your money when you build a hot rod.

We have an outstanding example with Paul's car on BaT right now. This car is about as good as a SWB hot rod gets. Right now it's at $68,000 with 3 days to go.



In 3 days we can compare the money he got with what a similar restored, and equivalent, SWB 911S has brought on the market. This is not to discuss which one you might like most. This is a $-to-$ comparison.

We're comparing the $ value of a really great hot rod to a really great restoration.

At some later point we can discuss whether a hot rod sucks money up as fast as a restoration. That's a very different question from value. I suspect Paul has got as much money into his 911 as one might spend on a quality restoration. We can deal with that as a separate issue after the auction is complete.

The number is more like $300K.... you would think 200k would be the crazy number, but sadly no. Wish I had 300K with nothing else to spend it on.

Since this is an old thread, might as well up date the numbers.....$500K

The Singer will just confuse things. It's really not a hot rod in the sense that most of us here think of one.

We need to stick to hot rods.

Can't wait for your report. Your borderline obsession with the economics of Porsche ownership
