You can find a decent 964 for around $50k, add an Airlift kit for $4k and some wheels for another $3k and you're at $57k

The partial respray in a subjective color takes away value.

That being said, there's a shoe for every foot, good luck!
So according to you a glass out / full metal up proper paint job takes away value. Common dude?

& you might have missed the complete engine out reseal / new clutch and over 100 wear and tear parts replaced with OE parts.

If you're going to share Value based opinion's on other people's cars then at least read the whole listing.

Thanks bud. Lets see. I am very happy with the reserve & wouldn't settle for a penny less anyways. So either way its a win win.

I had a 91 almost mint guards red C2 with fresh top end rebuild by a very reputable shop and many other little mods only got to $51 on BAT last month i sold it 10 mins after auction end for close to $60 (and the new owner loves it) the car had a clean carfax (but in ppi showed a repair from previous what must have been a minor accident) So $50-$60 definitely gets you a very good 964. Hopefully your reserve is realistic around that price- But again who cares, its a beautiful car and if you feel its worth more than that then you just get to keep it and enjoy it some more

FWIW I love the build. Nice color choice. I hope the reserve is met. If its a $70k reserve my opinion is this will be RNM, but that's just my 2 cents.

I do have a question.... I will profess I know nothing of custom air suspensions. I have dealt with the factory one's on Audi A8's and some others. In those cars there are fixed settings for height. Can you program custom ride heights easily? I would imagine you should be able to do that? For example... obviously you can drop it to the bottom when you park. How easily can you go from an aggressive driving height to a height that is more suited to cruising and finally can you raise the front independent to get up steep driveway?

Thanks

The Airlift kit with the 3p management is super easy to program with multiple settings including those mentioned and then some. Changing ride height is quick, especially in a light car like a 911. The type of compressor and size of the air tank determine the speed, the heavier the car, the more powerful the compressor and larger air tank(s) are required. Hard lines vs. Soft also make a difference. It's a very nice quality setup.

What he said ^^^^^ Let's just say you can set any corner to any height from the Phone app on your phone from your living room couch! True story!!
5 presets can be set to any height so with a press of a button you can get to your preset height.
AIRLIFT performance is a Michigan based company and they really stand behind their products.

It might get someone to bid if not help bid it up and they might decide to replace the suspension and sell it off. Who cares what the next owner does with it if you get your price.

Don't mind the car/look, but its going to take a very, very specific type of buyer. I feel this is one of those you could spend a few bux and make a bit more mass market and get more $ in the end.

lot of wisdom here, and proved out with the rnm
