There is a reason why 968's are selling for more. No m96 issues, better build quality, exclusivity etc.
Back to the m030 discussion..
As long as the buyer knows what they are getting into, I feel I have done my service to the community. I went there to check it for the same reason, the potential of what this car can be. Having wrenched on so many, I cannot see how anyone can put this car back together in pristine condition for under $20k. When said and done, you have a 2 owner 100k mile m030 for around $35-38k.
I think for most it's a hard pill to swallow. I, on the other hand know what it takes to bring a car up to a restored standard. I did this on my cab, spent well over $20k, not taking labor into account. It made sense to me because I love the color and it has a one of one status. I paid for the color and would do it all over again. People have paid as much as a $100k extra on a used 911 just for Riviera blue color. Crazy, yes but I can see the lure
