RS For sale...

[fryardds]

Jared,

I thought I had seen this car for sale before. Clearly the only reason to possibily buy it would be for the motor. Even then it may need a total rebuild. Sure does look funny to see an A/C compressor hooked up to a 911/83 motor.

OK Jared, from now he will be known as "He Who Must Not Be Named".

Jared:

I was wondering when someone would comment on the 119 million miles. Geeez, by this time it probably needs a complete overhaul!! Wouldn't that affect the price??

Paris TX?? I seem to think that this guy had another car that he was trying to sell when I started looking. Hmmm. I'll have to look for it. But for some reason, I don't think that it was this car.

Has been on e-bay before, in the last six, seven months.

Looks a little odd, the long hood front with a post 74 back end....oh well.


I notice the wolfturbo was the higgest bidder, any one we know?

Rob (wolfturbo) is a regular poster here & on PP.

. . . an important lesson I learned from a top 911 restoration expert: there's an important distinction between (1) a real restoration, and (2) "fixing up" an old car . . .

Since this car was built as a second series touring edition, my conclusion is that it would be uneconomic to buy it at the current eBay price of $35,000 or so . . .

Every car has a value. I'm just not convinced on this one at the current bid . . .

Goes to show ya . . . an RS is just another way to get somewhere . . .

Hey, Stacey . . .

Reading through this thread . . . all kinds of interesting stories --- about Frank Galogly fg1227 and buying 'fright pig' RSs on eBay, about 9113600193, Dr? GeorgeK lucking into a garage find RS ( in Switzerland!) for less-than-T-money, then selling . . . to buy 'a great house with a view of the Alps' . . .

Nobody kept these cars. Or even drove them, it seems --- at least not on these threads.

They got 'em, used 'em to get somewhere --- figuratively, maybe financially?. . . then moved on.

Different kind of transportation.

Rick, OK got it. And I agree 100% MOST OF THE TIME....

I do drive the crap outta my RS whenever I can....And my Slant Nose Turbo with 13K original miles which also has a 'call the police' engine....

[fryardds]

Well I wish Rick C would show us what nice things he has done with 193. Pretty please. Rick you out there?

Raj,
Both of those Carreras do it for me. I would love to crawl all over each of them to see all the details. Both of them have some stories to tell and I would like to 'hear' them. But more than that I would to drive each of them. Oh yeah.
