Compared to others we have seen lately this appears to be a much more honest car. Am I mistaken or did this car trade hands not long ago?
However, whoever Avante garde is they sourced the incorrect wheel bolts. Removed the speedline etching and assembled the wheels incorrectly. Clearly the car has had front end paintwork and nobody fixed the smile. This car is just a few vins from mine and is a 718 coded car. I am surprised to see things like the red hazard switch. The tool kit is new which aren't the same as the originals. I must assume the speakers were changed when the head unity was added? This should have a CR-1 accompanying it. I also don't like ice blasting without before and after photos. You can take thousands of miles off a car's life without them. Clearly a lot more was done to the car but it seems like one worth investigating closer.
These cars are not just sitting like this and ready to be sold. A massive amount of work and energy getting this 94 3.6 Turbo ready for it's sale.
If you are a buyer feel lucky you can buy such a beautiful example. Crews of people spent their hard time getting this ready for you.
Just look at the zero effort to align the seats for the photoshoot. No gas, tilted gas gauge, Speedo not siting flush against the vinyl dash. Clear coming off the calipers, Heavy Nicks on lower dash. Sound pad is cracked. No large washer on the 13m intercooler bolt. All normal items that we can see,.... But with no underside photos, No paint meter photos. $150,000 to $180,000 $225,000 as a driver doesn't pull it this year.
Dan Schmitt has two C2 Turbos. Both Red. One with Tan interior the other has a rare Light gray interior with sport seats.
17k miles on the light grey interior. Previous owner added headers, K29? Polished intercooler, Nice boost gauge.
The Turbo oil line is concerning.
They bought the 1992 car on BaT for $181k including buyers fee and are asking $230k. Personally, I am all for making a profit but a big reason these cars are at these prices is because the dealer markups are insane.
Am I seeing that right? B&B which comes with a drip tank but was omitted and the turbo return line feeds into the oil pumps pickup? It appears the turbo is sitting lower than the return line so when you shut things down all the oil runs back into the turbo.??? I had only seen that done once before on a similar turbo back in 2005 or so. It smoked a lot. If the miles were a bit higher I would have thought it was the same car.
If they took the car and converted it to stock I could understand the increase in price.
@cobalt@Scott Dunavant i was just about to say the same thing when I saw the pic, (and now your comments), and only because I spent several hours installing a new oil drip/catch can and oil return line! Wow, I feel like i'm finally learning something! Do i get my level 1 badge now?

Most of this dealers inventory are cars they’ve bought from auction or other dealers to flip. I know this dealer is misrepresenting one of their cars. This ‘72 911S they are advertising having 20k original miles when it in fact it has at least 120k miles. I looked at this car when the dealer they bought it from had it not too long ago and have seen records indicating it had 98k miles 25 years ago. Doesn’t mean this or their others cars are bad, but doesn’t seem like they are very truthful.
I'm local to Schmitt. He's 15 minutes away. They have a call service and don't return phone calls. I tried to offer him all the factory parts for this 17k mile turbo. It has a rare interior and super low miles.
Dan is just burnt out dealing with people. But loves his cars.

i agree, The Red/tan went from Sloan to BAT to Schmitt. Certain dealers storing their money in cars.
Wow this one at 17 k miles just shakes the room when running. It's a bit of 90's performance mods. Sucks Dan lacks receipts.
I've never heard a beast like this one. We couldn't even talk in the same room as this car. Dan prefers stock. I have most of the exhaust. But endless amounts of parts are need for stock return. Shame in my opinion. i love them set up this way, minus that stupid turbo. He might have to purchase most of these parts new. He wants a stock intercooler if anyone has one. The car is flawless btw. Just needs a K27, stock cats, stock oil pump, stock intercooler, Air-pump crap, etc..
