..it's a well known.. and highly regarded car. -Its been discussed here previously and many people have confirmed its provenance...
..as far as value is concerned, that's not quite so easy. It's worth what you're willing to pay... ;)

Well, I liked it a whole lot better at the price I paid for it a few years ago...:rolleyes:
Here's a pic of the car in the garage of the guy I bought it from.
I'd certainly find out what has been done to it by CAPorsche (with receipts), E cam upgrades? Who did that? A reseal, ok fine. The car was absolutely stunning in the hands of the guy I sold it to, he did some nice upgrades to the car, which I don't see any longer. Not sure of why this car has changed so much.
The car was very solid, very quick (lots of torque), and pretty honest. It was a pleasure to drive. There was a pretty good set of records that was with the car as well....do those still exist?
cheers,

Nice car. Company ad nice but somewhere between $25K-$30K.
Best of the breed. CIS K-Jetronic (Continuous Injection System) was used from 1973-1983 on the 911 series and also on the 930 through the 964 Turbo series which carried it into the 1990's.
It is one of the most reliable systems they every utilized and I'd own one in a NY minute vs. it's MFI counterpart. The power band is very wide and accomodating. There are but 2 moving parts in the system; the air flow (sensor plate) and control plunger.
Curtis is about on the money "on the money".
Good luck,
Tom
Here is the car about this time last year. Harvey Weidman 15 X 7 all 4, driving lights, perfect H-1 headlights. I can't believe they don't mention the Elephant racing suspension upgrades. Car came with a binder full of upgrade documentation. The car drove as well as any early car I have driven.

that is nutso money for a T.
but i think a certain yellow T (CIS) recently was offered for similar $$. it was very nicely done and, IIRC, had a lot of original paint on it.
wow, much nicer!
is that original paint?
not to mention all the $ they probably received for the great accessories they sold off :eek:Quote:

i am new to the site and want to thank you all for the wise, informed feedback without all the usual internet flamethrowing. really terrific and refreshing

They have a $69K, 71,000 mile Ossi Blue 912 Softie. Talk about ALL THE MONEY!
Offer some CA State IOU's or land in New Mexico.
California is in a "state of bankruptcy" but since they cannot utilize those laws they're up against the wall. Commercial real estate is next and the shoe hasn't even dropped yet.
Bargain hunters rejoice. Your time is near. If you got your car within the past 2 years you OWN IT. Hold or give it away.

Quite a doom and gloom prediction coming from Virginia.Quote:

MarketWatch is reporting California formally asks Geithner for TARP assistance
California Treasurer Bill Lockyer asked U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Wednesday to authorize assistance for his state from the federal Troubled Asset Relief Program, warning that depressed tax revenues may cut into basic services and halt the building of infrastructure.
In a letter, Lockyer asked Geithner for TARP assistance for California and "other financially strapped states and local governments which face a severe cash flow crunch."
"If we cannot obtain our usual short-term cash-flow borrowings, there could be devastating impacts on the ability of the State or other governments to provide essential services to their citizens," Lockyer wrote.
In addition, Lockyer warned in the letter that California's cash flow problems may lead to trouble accessing the long-term bond market, which could "eventually even halt our infrastructure construction programs."
Lockyer estimated that California's cash flow shortfall in fiscal 2009-2010 will be more than $13 billion.
A $13 Billion Deficit?
Who does Lockyer think he is fooling? California has not yet passed and should not pass $16 billion in Propositions 1A through 1F as noted in California, Please Send A Message!
Note that the proposed $16 billion in tax hikes was supposed to plug the budget but it is already another $8 billion in the hole. And judging from what Lockyer said, it appears the gap is up to $13 billion, assuming California passes those hikes.
I am betting California does not pas those propositions. Moreover I encourage California to not pass those propositions or they will be taxing themselves to death.
Assuming the hikes do not pass, California will be $29 billion in the hole, and counting, with the important phrase being "and counting".
California is going $2 billion more in the hole every month like clockwork and I see no reason for that to stop now.
LA Mayor To Declare Fiscal Emergency
Meanwhile, Villaraigosa calls on City Council to declare a fiscal emergency.
With Los Angeles facing a $529-million budget deficit, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Tuesday urged the City Council to declare a fiscal emergency that would grant him the authority to lay off and furlough thousands of city workers.
The request signals a more hard-line tack by the mayor to win salary and benefit concessions from the city's public employee unions, which had soured on Villaraigosa's call for a salary freeze, furloughs and increased benefit costs to save $230 million and avert the need for layoffs.
Villaraigosa said the worsening economy and an expected $300-million drop in city tax revenue gave him "very few options." L.A.'s budget gap is expected to grow to $1 billion in the 2010-2011 fiscal year because of investment losses in the city's pension systems, which the city is required to keep solvent.
"The gravity of the fiscal emergency that we face is enormous," Villaraigosa said in his letter to the council. "Unless we act with urgency, the city will face a cash flow crisis, raising the prospect of running out of cash between November and February."
The city council is required to have a balanced budget by July 1. Good luck with that. My plan for LA is simple: declare bankruptcy just like Vallejo did and hope the unions get what they deserve in court, nothing.
Unions Hold California Hostage
Are unions out of their minds in this environment to object to a wage freeze? On the surface it would appear so. However, unions may be emboldened by the Obama Administration's willingness to bend over backwards for union demands.
Please consider Demoting California.
One of the biggest stories in politics earlier this year was about California's budget teetering on the edge of a $42-billion deficit abyss. It only staved off insolvency when its legislature ended three months of gridlock to pass a budget with steep tax hikes and spending cuts. Guess what the Obama Administration is doing? It is telling Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that it will revoke nearly $7 billion in federal stimulus money unless the state restores legislated wage cuts for unionized health-care workers.
Governor Schwarzenegger has sent a letter asking the feds to reconsider, noting the cuts were taken in response to "an unprecedented fiscal crisis." Even now the state faces an estimated cash-flow problem of some $17 billion by July.
Restoring the union money will require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature, a task in California somewhat akin to moving the Sierra Nevadas. Still, it's worth noting where the Obama team ranks the political authority of a legislative enactment by the state of California versus the political clout of a union.
Come to your senses California. If you are dumb enough to pass Propositions 1A through 1F, expect yet another round of tax hikes to follow.

But what I am really questioning is your car value predictions that seem to indIcate our cars will go lower in their values than in yours because we live in Calif, which I categorically would dissagree with.
As far as commercial Real Estate, it has already taken a substantial hit here.
The article(s) really refer to the state and L.A. being in financial straits, which they obviously are.
viva calexico !!:dQuote:
