Jeez Macca - succinct and on the money in a single post!!

Thinking in particular of that orange GT700 997 Turbo that was on for years at $300,000 or so. Anyone know what happened to it?
It got repainted in plain black which I understand was the original colour (unless the orange was a wrap) in which case it was removed and it turned up in a dealer asking about 180k if memory serves me correct

^^^^Thanks Graeme - supports my point that not all cars on TM are priced with any expectation of selling. Some are just listed as a rolling Lotto ticket.

(need to talk to Graham.............)
Hey. A 964 turbo butt and a 993 are not the same.

Yes a fav Pcar po*n site of mine.................

A lime green one with duck tail is a lotto car for me.

74-75 MFI carreras are basically 73 RS carreras (same engine) but with impact bumpers - they are north of $200K now..............
