Found a guy with 79 928 for sale says it's build #145 euro build and came with 205 MPH Speedo. Anyone have any thoughts on this one.

 

Didn't really give us much to think about. Pls elaborate.

 

Let me think about it for a minute...

Nope, not a single thought.

Good luck, finding out whatever you want to find out.

Thoughts:

Is it running?
What kind of shape?
How many miles?

The early cars are gaining value. #145 is fairly early, but not exceptionally so.

But if it's a basket case, then it's not worth all that much (not like a 911 or 356 would be).

Post pics if you have any.

Those, combined with answers to the above will give you much better responses.

 

I'm thinking pics please.

 

It will start owner thinks it has either blown head or head gasket. Exterior is decent interior is rough.
Euro version with 205 mph speedo sounds weird to me.

 

 

If you have $10k laying around, buy it for as LOW as you can get it, and dig in.

Must be good with 40yr old mechanical stuff too.

Price seems high to me wants $3750.

 

Well, US #54 (44th US car made) just went for $3500, with the engine partially dismantled (but said to have all the parts) and the interior partially gone.

But blown head gaskets are troubling. It could be just age, but it could also be that it sat long enough for the coolant to turn acidic and eat the heads up. Or it could have been overheated and warped the head.

Speedtoys estimate of $10k might turn out to be a bit low.
And the only ones worth real money at this point are the original ones in good shape.

 

no such thing as a 205 mph speedometer.

 

That's what I thought but his dash picture is showing one.

 

KM........?

 

Without pictures and just going by this...I'd say...$500.00 at the most.

And, depending on what type of car you want to own when you are done, and assuming you are doing all of the work yourself...you could top $10,000.00/$15,000.00 easily.

Just for conversation sake...my 84 was running, driver, exterior a 6 on the 10 scale, interior 7 out of 10 and I've put $3,500.00 into it in a little over a year...and it could use another $5,000.00 thrown at it easily.

Speedo metric version?

Good luck with your decision.

Brian.

 

that's probably it, but it was too early this morning for me to look up the conversion.
