Pricing Help, Polak 911 Sporto

Marco,
You do a wonderful impersonation of an encyclopedia salesman. Lol!

K,
Dangerous. Where do you stop? See how this auction goes and get feedback from bidders.

I can compute what goes on in the racing prototype World but the streeter's have different o-pinions sometimes...that's why I'm asking the gallery. Sometimes you get o-pinions from every and any bodies on some subjects. I can take the heat but where is every-body when your asking for their O-PINIONS?

If I paint it, all I will hear is "why did you paint it"! If I leave it alone....you know the drill.......it would be a better sale if you cleaned up that old looking engine!

Thanks for feedback, friends,

. . . I can compute what goes on in the racing prototype World but the streeter's have different o-pinions sometimes . . . If I paint it, all I will hear is "why did you paint it"! If I leave it alone....you know the drill . . .

Hmm

Well . . . as long as you're asking for o-pinions . . .

When I approach an Old Car --- especially one like this . . . I always ask . . .

How much of the car is still Porsche's?

. . . and how much is not?


Some people have the skills + resources + drive to completely build their cars from the ground up --- literally . . . and more power to them. Lord knows --- some cars needed it

But then . . . who's cars are those now?

Put it another way . . . are they still something that Porsche built?


Speaking from the Hard Rocky Korps . . .

If it's dirty? --- clean it
If it's broken? --- fix it
If it's missing? --- find it
Restore only what's ruined
Everything else is just everything else

Pretty is nice --- just remember . . . pretty never lasts


Oh, yeah --- and can I drive it?

K...I won't paint my '67. Had it at the Parade Concours last year and I can't believe how may people came up and told me to just leave it the way it is. Way more people than I would have ever guessed. So I say, keep it as is...It's Bitchin' (SoCal talk).

John,

Are you sure they didn't just feel sorry for you?

They were probably thinking: "This poor guy showed up to the wrong event. I better give him a hug."

[Peanut]

Classic. Very funny indeed.

[John Straub]

Oh no Frank...now you got me thinkin' about that! All those PCA a guys were just laughing at me.

K. "L" cars are pretty rare. All it takes is someone to do a story in a magazine about them and "Bam." Things are crazy out there.

Yes it looks interesting with all that surface rust on the 67 911, but by leaving the rust-- it will only get worse with more rust showing up! At some point wont you have to paint it? Chris

[John Straub]

Hi Chris, I never get it wet and it lives in a garage, not close to the ocean, so I hope it will outlast me. I guess I'll paint it at some point, but no plans now.

John,
The silver lining is that our cars are still more valuable than most PCA member's cars. Not promoting a pissing match- just stating a fact.
