Anyone know the price?

I've seen this car in person and it is perfect! It was restored by one of our resident early 911 experts.

nice car albeit IMO they missed some very easy little bits - maybe they are too close to the car and overlooked it or they just had enough - sometimes it helps to have a few eyes on something to put some things on the "punch" list

I looked at it closely. It is a very clean car.

Did everyone overlook Canepa's description of it having a "flat 4" engine? Odd lapse considering the caliber of cars they deal with.

$385k!!!! How much better is it than the car gooding sold for $300k inc commission??

Just curious what you observed to be incorrect?

Curious what you've found as well?

Coil, no brown paper hoses, no weltmeister sticker, seat belts maybe. My Italian cars both had repamatic seat belts with the proper euro part number. Horns may or may not be correct. My two Italian cars both had dealer installed Fiamm snail horns. Probably some other things but not sure.

As far as the price goes, perhaps Canepa recognizes the ROW 2.4S as being something special with the factory installed trombone cooler, the RS tank, euro gauges, plain knobs and deleted items. Also, the generally stripped down nature of Italian esses. They also had an 013 pump and some other odds and ends that add to the differences in ROW making them special in today's market. Remember this was all done by the factory not a latter day customization to euro cool. In most markets in the day, these were the first ever Porsches to crack the ten thousand dollar mark. Dealers were reluctant to load them up adding to the price. This seems especially true with Italian esses or just what I have seen. A bridge to the RS without US DOT mandating changes. I would take an stock ROW 2.4S over a US version if given the choice. Both great cars but ROW has a little more of the 'euroness' that I like.

On the seat belts, my Italian had originally no shoulder seat belts, they were added later and I had them removed. For the horns, mine has snails horns too but I have seen Italians with "fanfare". I think we had a discussion on this topic some time ago, there should be a thread somewhere on how Italians are different ... I'd say .. better ...
