It's funny ; I sold my '16 GT3 RS to buy an '07 GT3 RS which I really like , but something is tugging at me to sell it and buy another Carrera . They have a feel / size that none of the newer cars ( well - maybe the 964 ) can't match . In stock form they aren't particularly quick by current standards , but the fun factor is high .
add a 911. I prefer 915 box. but G50 is fine too
it's a great little cruiser
I think the market for high end hot rods has cooled a bit too. I agree it was red hot the last couple years but its my opinion that market segment is being filled quickly. There are a lot of people out there building these things pretty quickly, some better than others. The totally OEM cars will always have value, the hot rods and the resto mods will wax and wane depending on trends in the market and tastes.
they are really different fun.

I am very surprised at this one, a 1988 G50 with no service records prior to 1994 (being picky here but), appears they have engine mechanicals (compression, leak down) how about valve covers? 99,000 miles. Apparently good paint and yes re-done interior and yes a beautiful car. Most of the write up refers to stuff we all know, G50, 3.2L, electric sunroof, raised hub, 16" tires, Fuchs (I assume 6 and 7's)...etc. OK an oil change, filter, fluids... it did get new Bilsteins, tires. A CoA, fine. Clean Carfax, fine. But $72K? I'm doing some looking as I prepare to offer up my "87 Coupe. I see an '89 with 74K miles for $57,900 an '87 Coupe with 118K miles for $59,900 and a couple of '87's in 100-120K mile territory for $50K. There are even some cars out there in the 40's. Most of the higher priced cars have half the miles of this one and/or recent top end engine rebuilds. I'm not unhappy, just saying.

You're probably right . Id' like to have a ''regular '' G series where I didn't worry about it so much as the Clubsport . The '07 RS seems a lot like the CS except on steroids . As I get older the speed factor means less and less - these old cars seem about my speed .

^ I have a regular G, it's a hoot. I also have a POS 73 mutt, it rival my CGT in fun factor.

Yes I completely agree. I have never touched anything like a Gt3, let alone an RS, but this year for various reasons I had to dispense with two out of three of 74 Targa, 996 turbo and GT350, and I kept the 74. It's more fun in most driving conditions, at 60mph on a country road you can already feel the car working for and with you. The GT350 in particular felt like a videogame anywhere other than on track, instead. More fun to drive a slow car fast etc.

Curious: what is this worth? Matching numbers, original Rose Red '73 T. Engine built to 2.7. Yes, we flared the rear. Wears 225/50/15 Fuchs all around. Custom built, bolt on cage, Recaros, 915 with Wevo. NO RUST, totally re done.

For those that PM'd me: we flared the rear just enough by stretching the fenders and folding the lips, no additional material. The 225 R7's do no rub either in the rear or the front. Front lips are also just folded.
