The car is consigned to us by one of our well respected clients.
Let me know if there are questions, more than happy to explain and show.
I have made clear pictures of the good and the bad and will do my best to describe anything going on with the car.
Cheers,
Henk.

The Sport Seats look so nice in that car

From the eBay listing . . .
'. . . The interior of the car has been converted to black leatherette which was originally red, a great color combination with the Light Ivory exterior, repainted years ago. The COA states the following; tinted glass all around and manual antenna. The previous owner, a long time Porsche Club Member performed tasteful modifications for the performance and appearance of the car. The car comes fit with the correct rare Weber 40 IDS carburetors, harness bar, 3-point harness, Hella fog lights and Momo steering wheel. Keeping with the rally theme, tape and decals replace the deco trim with a few other light weight modifications correct for a SWB 911S rally car. While the car does have the original numbers matching 2.0 liter engine, the transmission is not numbers matching but is period correct.
The rare black Recaro sport seats currently in the car will be included with purchase as well as most of the original red interior.
Also included with purchase, the original 4.5’’ Fuchs wheels and genuine deep 6’’ wheels pictured on the car.
Original deck lid, trim and the two sets of rare Fuchs wheels are all included with the purchase of the vehicle. All stock parts have been kept with the car so it can be converted back to stock if necessary.
As you can see from the pictures, this car was set up to be driven and wear does exists on interior and exterior items. This is not a concourse winning car and is meant to be enjoyed and driven. Further more, we need to point out this car has a few serious rust problems in the longitudinal sections and jack receivers. These areas will need to be addressed professionally or may be the deciding factor for a complete restoration. The front suspension pan has already been correctly replaced many years ago. The floor pans are original to the car, however, do share similar rust problems as the longitudinal sections. Rust problems are common for an unrestored car of this age and should be addressed. This car could be a great daily driver if the above issues are addressed or is a perfect candidate for a complete restoration, bringing the car back to stock in the process . . .'

(Not mine)
Clearly the market agrees this car needs a rotisserie restoration as it failed to hit $90k. Factoring in the $100k-$125k that a current restoration on a '67S costs, that seems about right. I wonder what the owner was hoping to sell the car for. I'm glad to see that Henk documented the extreme extent of rust, but now anything less than a complete restoration is clearly doing this car an injustice. Future buyers will want to see pictures of this car extensively disassembled and on a bench being rebuilt. Tough spot to be in, take what's being offered now or dive into a restoration and potentially net the same amount two years later and after a major outlay of cash.
I understand the logic Mike but if anything under 100k will buy this car that's a smokin deal.
I would think it would sell for much more. (Still not convinced ebay bidders are a fair representation of the retail market.)
I'm with Frank- I don't think there are retail buyers on ebay anymore, just dealers and bargain shoppers. Also project cars generally sell for considerably more that the math would dictate, don't know why but they do.
