FS: @europeancollectibles - '67 911S

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?

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.

If you like the front fenders to have the last three digits of the chassis number plus the S this car doesn't have that either. Vintage sport seats and wood wheel and 4 1/2 fuchs and engine and trans matching is all good. This car will fit into a price range. Its still a 1967 911S with some goodies.

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.

......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.
