Very tempting and maybe cheap at $35K.
However, I always wonder how a car gets to be 30yrs old and only accumulates 19K miles. I'm not suggesting any chicanery here by anybody, but I'd have to hear a pretty good , detailed history.

Yes, this car's history would be important to know. That's about 600 miles per year of driving on the odometer...
Though, there are some show/concours cars out there that spend their entire lives on trailers and on lawns being judged. Mileage stays pretty low when they are in that type of person's hands.

I agree Jay, if you noticed the description said "Engine is an Original 2.4S Motor - Balanced and Ported with Factory Injection - There are only test miles on the rebuild." Does this mean this is not "the" original engine why was there a rebuild with 19K miles... Hmmmm
Just observations, I'm certainly no expert on the older cars or concours cars and maybe it means nothing...

The car looks nice but no were close to being worth $35K. The car has been way to hacked up for a concours person to want to buy it, and over priced for someone looking for an early 911 driver.

I would be VERY curious to know it's history. Most intriguing to me is the flaring of the fenders. It IS one of the early options on the car (not quite RSR...I think they called them 911S/T? ...or am I thinking 911T/R?). Anyway, my point being, it COULD be a factory hot rod. And of course, it could just as easily be a repro hot rod. If it is, it's very well done! ...probably still worth the money.

arghhhh
$35K no way. Wrong seats, wrong wheel, where the hell is the dash, why the ST flares? What, $35K and no wheel caps or torsion bar covers.
may be just skeptical - but I only believe 1/2 what I beleive on ebay.

I didn't bother to look at the pics too much until now (I'm at work and it's finally the end of the day...). I just took a brief look... I should just retract my post above...
Even from just a brief look seems to indicate it could be a 19,000 mile car. Yeah, 19,000 of them all of them done on a race track.
I'd pay $35k IF it was a fully original example with zero modifications, minor or zero accident damage, original untouched motor, original paint in nice shape, all trim intact and mint, stock carpets, stock seats, full documentation and service history from the delivery date, pictures of the concours trophies it won, etc, etc, (Or, maybe the track guys would like this car if it was set up with the correct mods for track use.)
You'd think for a starting price of $35k, they would have at least paid a detailer $200 to take the dust off most everything and dress the trim, etc, etc.
It might make a decent driver or track car (maybe - I'm not a track guy). But $35k for this car? For concours use or to have a low mile garage gueen in your collection? Never.
