I get what you are saying, but don't agree on "never buy color"
There are some colors that aren't even on my RADAR for consideration.
I guess it's all a matter of degree.

All is well - I finally found a 6GT3! It was in San Diego but it all worked out and it's in PA now.

Guys — Appreciate all the banter around this one…it’s a shame (to me) some of the afternarket goodies have been pilfered along the way…looks like current dealer asking price is now below $110k…if only I had more room; love the color!

I bought cheap and then bought color. I was happy both times.

The old adage was: "I'd rather be lucky than good"
You are both lucky and good; a rare gift.


My perspective is from someone who after decades in the hobby dealing mainly with older Porsches knows you never buy a car for the color unless it is 100%.
Buy the body first and the engine second.
Engines are cheap, bodies are not. If you've never had the (dis)pleasure of restoring a rusty or clapped out car you may not understand. I know from experience what
bodywork costs and I know what a "built" engine costs. The two are never really close.

Continued luck to you.

definitely true! I've never had that "pleasure" but I have a friend who did, and it was NOT fun. The longhood longitudinals!!!! At least our beloved gt3's fall within the "galvanized body" era of car production!

Wrapped cars always have low bids. Everyone assumes the wrap is covering up bad paint.

black wrap on black paint is especially suspicious. why would anyone do this?

sithot

Wraps are self-healing these days. A swirl marked paint job not so much. A most elegant color when polished to perfection.

cgfen

I certainly do, correctly or not

pirahna

Exactly, if the paint is in good condition why wouldn't you just do clear PPF. A colored wrap in the same color is going to be super suspicious to any buyer. I would just assume the car needs a full repaint if i was a buyer.
