Seriously, isnt 70k for the Paul Miller GTR bargain of the century then with spares for a decade a 2 extra motors, original GTR gearbox and so on...

It was bumbed in october 2012 so it might still be out there...

The Fabcar GTR does look like its developed a bit more but the Miller car is probably a beast anyway!

I'm not familiar with the Paul Miller GTR.

As far as the Fabcar being more developed.... It is my understanding that Fabcar built all the GTR's.

Paul Miller Car might actually be a 924 GTR

The engine is definitely not a 2.0 litre based 924 engine, that's a 944 2.5 in there. But there was a 924 GTR that ran a development engine based on the soon to arrive 944 2.5 wasn't there?

Maybe with some of that $120,000 he can buy a memory card that holds more than three pictures? And a keyboard to type a better description.

lol...you're not wrong Brian.

I'm puzzled how this could fit in any PCA class. Even GT classes require an "intact" Porsche chassis.

That was the one in 1981. I believe it was a 2.5 turbocharged 16V.

I could be wrong, I think with a car like this you would contact and talk with the owner quite a bit before purchase. But yes, pictures are always nice.

Yes but I think there are (or used to be) prototype classes above that. I'm not sure what the definition of 'chassis' is. Since I'm pretty sure suspension pick-up points and stuff are free, so what is a 'chassis' then?

Unless the rules have changed, it actually is not eligible because of the non-Porsche transmission. It has a Hewland, not a Getrag.

Awesome car. And agreed, for what it is, that is a ridiculous deal. For all of the time, testing, and parts that are in that car. Not to mention the history.

Take care,

I don't ever recall seeing where the transmission manufacturer was an issue in LB/HP class racing (example: GT classes). Additionally, no 924, 944, or 968 ever had a Porsche transmission. They were all made by Audi and were in fact slightly tweaked production Audi transmissions.

Typically these types of cars (tube frame cars in this case) would run in the highest class where the HP was unlimited. In POC it would be GT1. There are equivalent classes in PCA, NASA, etc...

The problem is that, at least in the POC, GT1 has 1000+ HP cars. And they are stupid fast.

unfortunatly for people like me who love to build/restore racecars, build cost and market value are not the same thing ! As much as i hate it the reality is that for a large (ignorant) majority its "just" a 944/68
