Sold for $52.5K on 5/5/2022. Pretty good money for a car with "needs".

A fact check from the Illuminate, please? Perhaps it's the photo angle, but it looks like the floor board behind the pedal cluster (picture #5) is for a standard 3 pedal cluster instead of the 2 pedal Sporto version. FWIW, same for the carpet. Having done a Sporto > 5-spd conversion myself, IIRC, the Sporto uses a different 2 slot board and I had to source a 3 slot board to accommodate the clutch pedal.
Not trying to disparage this car and happy to be corrected. Just seems odd that they couldn't use the original or even make a proper wood replacement. The other obvious explanation is either my eyes are deceiving me and/or I don't know what I'm talking about

Guys,
I think the buyer got a good deal. It’s a matching numbers coupe with an original paint code of gemini blue. Yes, it probably needs about $80K to $100K for a bare metal restoration as well as a engine and transmission rebuild but then you would have a fully sorted longhood in pristine gemini blue paint!
So we should probably define a “good deal” then. $80k-$100k on top of $55k including fees (excluding wait times) brings you into 911S territory :D
My eyes are drawn to the mismatched decklid badging. The model designation and badge of shame should be gold given the car has the comfort package.

I've never seen the Sporto fluffed in quite that fashion. I couldn't see myself ever doing the same.Quote:
