$92,000.00 selling price--Monterey auction. Owner claimed 250K invested.

 

That's Alvin's old car. He did pour a lot of money in it, but the word on the street is that it's never run right and still has issues.

I'd probably take a stock 993TT over that lovely Frankenmonster.

 

Was at the auction today and watched it go across the block. The car had some panel
fitment issues that would have concerned me. Otherwise a pretty cool car.

id take stock all day long

 

When you add the buyer's premium, I am honestly pretty surprised someone was willing to go to 100k +/-. Maybe the car is now sorted? I see a lot of shop time in its future.

 

Agree that stock is preferrable to me but there is a segment of buyers that pay big premiums for heavily modded cars. That car presents really well. Not sure $90K well but it is a looker.

 

Anyone see the silver '89 Speedster that went across yesterday? 105k for that one...

 

Wow, I recall reading about that car here and the time and effort the previous owner put into it to make it what it is today - took well over a year I think. Really was done with no expense spared, so sad to see it on the auction block. I wonder why the previous owner parted with it so soon after creating it.

 

I believe this car has been sold a few times since the original creater built it. At least I have seen it for sale several times before.

 

I saw a pristine Guards Red C4S with ~2000 miles that didn't sell at ~$90,000 at the Mecum auction in Pebble on Friday.

 

Time, effort, and expense sometimes leaves you ending up with less than the sum of the parts. One exception can be professionally built competition cars, built to a set of rules. Even then, most are underdeveloped with reliability issues.

I'm another who would gladly stay closer to stock for a street car. Had my hands in too many wannabe fast 930s.

 

That car has been on Willhoit Enterprises website for sale for awhile at $99K+.

Surprised it didn't sell for the $90K. I guess Willhoit thinks they can do better. It sure is gorgeous though, would love to have it.

 

Of course, anyone with a 'special' car is going to want at least $120K now.

 

Not me I would want $150K

 

i did. looked pretty nice to me. they quoted some statistics on how few of these were sent to the US...anyway, it looked cool but i kinda like the regular non-speedster look.
