I'm currently looking at 997 GT3s, but as someone who grew up in the 90s I love the 964 but would want to upgrade many of the parts.
If I would looking to purchase a 964 to modify into a track/street build (including widebody, welded rollcage, etc), what would be the best place to find value in buying the car? Are 90-92 less desirable? Does the price range stay consistent across most years/conditions? And I do a lot of searching on Rennlist, but any other sites I can monitor other than the usuals (BaT, etc)?
Thanks, guys!

There are some parts NLA to do the conversion and some are stupidly expensive new. It all depends on if you are doing the work yourself or paying someone. You can use some 930 parts and modify them but it is not easy and takes a lot of fabrication time but quarter panels aren't cheap and sometimes it is the less expensive way. I have been picking up all the parts I need to do my second WB conversion over these past 5 years or so and it still cost me triple what it did back in 15 when I did my first for parts alone.
IMO stay away from BaT & BHCC cars. Most all I have seen in person were far from how they were represented, even the nicer ones.

I scrolled up quite a bit and didn’t see this one discussed...sorry if it’s a repost. But man, this is crazy money even for a low mileage car that has some wear inside and out:

here's an interesting auction... enough with the back-dates, here's the all-desirable forward-date. this looks like a poor choice now.

Appreciate any advice on other sites to avoid (I am familiar with BHCC through my other classic cars) and any recommendations on how to find my car. It looks like patience is going to be a factor but I want to make sure I am looking in the right places. I am not looking for a low mile garage queen and I am also open to nicely modified cars such as RS clones, a real one doesn’t fit my budget and also I want to drive the car.
I am in California but originally from Europe and would consider bringing in a Euro car. From what I have read pre 95 cars avoid some of the federal safety requirements (FMVSS) but the biggest hurdle I see is getting the car registered in CA due to emission requirements and appropriate stickers. I have found a few Euro 964’s that meet my requirements so if it’s possible I would go that route.
Please send any links my way or leads to cars that are available
cheers

These cars are flying off the shelves right now and not in a good way. My advice would be hold. I’m seeing a lot of first time buyers with cash to spend who go for cars with lipstick smeared on. Certainly a great time to be a seller…

i'm in the same boat as you and it's horrible. i have the funds (the ones necessary now), but i'm still attempting to be logical about the purchase. i turned down a C2 a week ago and it could have been a mistake, but i knew there were things that would bother me about the car and correcting everything put the car over a value i was comfortable with. here's the catch, a correction could take a while. interest has to drop over time - longhoods were strong for a long time. some, like cherry C2s, may never come down again and then maybe you're priced out. imo, a lot of buyers are buying for the long haul also. this is not a market loaded with flippers or casual buyers. it's easy to say 'hold for now', if you're not actively looking. if you REALLY want a 964 (in your yolo moment), you have to risk the market and jump! or..., consider a tip targa or convertible.

well, you couldn't have picked a worse time to gain interest in the 964. unloved for so long, reasonably priced even as of recently, and now a meteoric rise in price and interest. the only situation that seems to compare to me - for a general model range - is when the longhoods took off. cars are lasting hours and the time to ponder and even consider having the car looked at professionally means you lose the car. learn the models and decide on exactly what you want, so you can react quicker, and look in every location you can think of constantly.

I’ve posted this elsewhere in the forum many times.
“when it comes to these cars (the good ones MT, to be specific) one never pays too much. You just pay early”
Highly doubtful any correction is coming soon and the days of the $45K sub 65k mile 964 MT coupe or targa are looong gone! IMHO.
Good luck in your collective searches.

I have seen some Euro cars that I would be happy to import. However is there any route to registering a Euro 964 in California? Not an RS but an equivalent model that was sold in the US. I’m guessing no as they won’t have the required emission stickers, however I am open to suggestions if there is a way.
