I'm looking to add a clean 3.2 Carrera Coupe to the garage. I've been hunting for a while now and figured I'd give this subforum a shot in case anyone is selling. Open to all colors besides black; just needs to be mechanically sound and in good condition. I would also consider a great condition SC. Please PM me if you are thinking about selling!

 

Oh man you just missed a killer SC that auto kennel listed this week, it sold in a day, super nice car (needed fuchs tho).

Keep an eye on Autokennel.com, he has some more stuff coming soon. Great reseller of classic 911, mostly long hoods and G series.

 

I think I know which one you’re talking about. I saw it get posted very briefly. I’ll take your 964 in a heartbeat if you ever sell that thing!

 

super nice 1987 concours, famous driver owned. all original paint, great engine, lots more

not cheap

PM'd you

 

This is something I don’t understand. Why in the US it’s valued more if some celebrity has owned the car?

 

it's a serious issue in this society. people shut off their critical thinking when something concerns a popular/attractive figure.

look at the mess this has made of the political system.

 

^
I not sure I follow you on this one.... there are some extremely ugly people in politics.

 

Sorry, not a celebrity, not a politician but a very a FAMOUS Porsche driver

 

OK, but what’s the big deal if a FAMOUS Porsche driver has owned the car?
What additional value would this bring?

 

Provenance ?

i know a guy who owned Tatum Oneil's 911sc.. he would tell everybody that he met, he even had a picture of her standing next to it that he found on the net he would keep in the car. He would also say she spent 25K on engine upgrades so that engine was swapped before he got the car and her brother got into trouble with it often .. I never understand that stuff. personally .

 

No just cars, Paul Newmans Rolex Daytona went for BIIIG $$$

 

Back to the main subject. The hunt for one is fun and I hope to get in one!

 

Giving advice is usually meaningless, but take your time and it would not be a stupid idea to have someone
having knowledge of that model with you when you go and check a car. Here you can easily make expensive
mistakes.

Good luck with your hunt!

 

It's called provenance, .and it shows that someone very knowledgeable of Porches and their proper care took care of it. instead of some shady dealer or poseur , Would you rather buy a car from a housewife in Kansas City with an unknown service history, or a concours winning car owned by a multi-time IMSA winner, series champion and someone that built his own Porsche race cars?
