I think it's a lot of car for $15K. But it sounds like you'd have to find the right buyer to get more, based on people's responses. Can you post some more pictures of it? Also, have you posted this on Pelican? I wonder what the consensus over there is???

Do you still have any stock parts? If you're serious about selling, try to put them all back on then provide lots of photos, of course, but also details, details, details including scans of all of your major remaining parts and service invoices, etc.

On a slightly related topic, I recently sold a DD that I bought as a salvage. It went rather quickly because I provided a detailed maintenance history in the actual ad. Even if the buyer doesn't digest all of the details, it demonstrates responsible ownership.

I'm going to WAG it and say $15,000 at best if it looks like an incredibly pristine show car, far less (closer to $10,000 or under) if it looks like an average build. The prices for all 911 street and race cars have really plummeted.
+1
Very impressive but VERY "niche" car. One-of-a-kind car looking for buyer of same type.
Anybody who would be inclined to go more than $20K would be inclined to build their own, I would think. There's so much "individual personality" built into something like this.
"Can't do it for this money" and "Can't build one like this" are generally the arguments. But this is a corner of the market where logic doesn't apply.


Just IMO, of course. Good luck!

i havent posted it anywhere and i made this thread just to get peoples thoughts. i only considered selling it due to starting a new buisniess but i dont need to sell it, so ill just hold on to it or if i really need the money i guess my best bet is to just part it.

Put it on eBay and see what happens. I very well may be completely wrong.

Another thought is try trading with someone for a stock model... You may draw someone not willing to pay, but willing to swap . You then would have a better chance of a sale with the stock car.

The issue you will have is financing a buyer. You will need a cash buyer. I would think you can get between 25K-35K, but i would say someone paying 35K for a car would want to finance, given the low interest rates. A 85 911 will not book at 35K.

Sorry but I don't see it making anywhere close to that. Had it been based on a 993 chassis... maybe

If it was a 993, could you get more than $30k for it? It has the heat and the A/C removed so it is a street legal track car. It has an after market turbo, not a turbo motor. It does not meet any particular racing association rules, so it is just a DE car. If a similar 993 could get $30k, I would take off at least $10k because it is 10 years older than a 993 and does not have a 993 motor or 993 front suspension or 993 brakes. That leaves it at $20k.
