Very nicely done ...

Arguably the most well known 964 today. Featured in Excellence Magazine, 911&Porsche World and Total 911. This is a “one-of-one” and will certainly be one of the most unique and drivable in your collection. Designed by an owner with years of Porsche history and deep roots in motorsports it was commissioned by him with an open checkbook to the best artisans in the US to fulfill his vision. This incredibly meticulous three-year build resulted in a supercar that exemplifies the best of both art and speed. It is a true supercar built for the real world that flies under the radar yet delivers unmatched pure driving experience in an amazing performance envelope.

  • 2,760lbs

This is pretty much the perfect car. I have read the article about this car several times.

What was the selling price on Joachim Rohr's beautiful and authentic 993 GT2 project?
That car was perhaps a close data point to the market for this 964R .

The price is what the market will bare. I can't fathom a serious buyer would have a problem with the asking price for a car like this. I've seen two similar cars sell for more.

P1CR, further up you said you have 100k invested in your 993. That sounds awfully high. May I ask what you have done.

Offered at $150k and I understand it sold for $125k. That car, however, was a VERY different kettle of fish!
