But, according to our local GTR guy, that one ain't this one.

So it's a spares chassis made up to look like the real deal?

Must not be serious about selling it...

924RACR

Yeah.

Like I said, everything's for sale, for the right price...

The description of the car reads "1981 Porsche 924 GTR Race Car ID# WPOZZZ93ZBS72022. A total of 17 GTR Porsches were built. This ultimate 924 Porsche Produces 375 HP and will get you from 0-60 MPH in under 5 seconds". No actual mention of racing history.

It has been there for quite a while.

I took these October 2005:

These were parked across the row from the 924. I would take either of these over the 924 even if it was the 100% original race car that competed in LeMans

Those audis make the nastiest sound i've ever heard from a car.

johnnykrand

notice on those last 2 posters it says built for, does not say competed. I reckon they are all spare/back up cars.

My guess is that it belongs to a collector that isn't really in any hurry to sell at all, and is on long term (permanent?) consignment to the dealer, who doesn't really expect it to sell either, but thinks it's good use of floor space for eye-catching "passing trade" advertising (which is probably true). And the owner probably thinks it's better on display rather than under some dust cover in a garage somewhere (which is also probably true).

The price is probably set for the "you never know" deal. Some Texas billionaire that has a big night in Vegas or something, and must have it... not very likely, but you never know.

So I'd take the "asking price" about as seriously as that.

Hey you can buy my car and I'll give anyone at least 50% off that price and it gets to 60mph in under 5 secs.

....anybody...??

so how much is a 924 carrera gtr with no racing history worth then?

Eric_Oz_S2

There's also a 1966 911S for $160,000, a 73 911E for $125,000 and the prototype 911 turbo slant nose for $250,000. All the cars seem very expensive.

931GT

@333pg333,
I'd say it'd do under 5 seconds to 60 without breaking a sweat. 375hp in a 2400lb car should be capable of sub 4s.

924RACR

Should weigh well under 2400.
