Reviving this thread.....
Q: Regardless of $$$ spent on this car, its so far from stock who would buy this ? I like the looks, but IF one bought this, who's going to be there to buy it when your ready to sell ? The fact that these are already old cars, it seems the like the older they get, the more they need to be stock....otherwise, you may be holding the bag for a long time ?
These are the questions the always race through my mind when I see these type cars that 'look nice' but are they just an unwise purchase ?

As my buddy the ex-car salesman says: "There's a butt for every seat!"
IMO the only thing that hurts the OP's car value-wise is the widebody conversion done in 'glass. You couldn't buy a decent '76 911 and replicate what this one has for the asking price, labor costs notwithstanding.
Some folks want 'em totally original, some of us like 'em modded/upgraded a bit. There are buyers out there for both types.

Don't get me wrong....I REALLY like the car. The big Q I have learned to ask myself...Is there a market for the car IF I purchased it ? If so, then how big is it ? In the case of modded cars, the market is quite slim. At the end of the day 'correctly priced' cars seem to have a fairly short selling period.....on the other hand, there are tons of others that sit for months and months.
BTW, I got some conflicting info regarding the widebody....supposedly it is metal per the OP pms to me....also, looking closely at the stack of papers in the PICS, it looks like everything is dated 1994....I suspect the conversion/restore etc (not sure about the 3.6) was done back then, not really sure if tat is meaningful info or not....then again is specuation on my part based on the dates.

I'll bet that $26.5K price is negotiable since the seller is a dealer.
Shannon, you are correct that the market for a modded Porsche is slimmer than it is for an equally nice pure stock one but there are buyers out there that don't want to deal with the expense/hassle of upgrading one to a particular style that appeals to them. The plethora of '73 RS replicas out there that come up for sale pretty regularly is a good example. The trick is finding the "right" modded car that appeals to the buyer and is done correctly. There is some junk out there...Caveat emptor.
