I had this car on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and the bidder backed out because he didn't want to deal with shipping... Anyhow, it runs well, I drove it cross country and back two months ago (the reason it was featured on Jay Leno's Garage). For pics and to read the story, go here:

www.KeepItWideOpen.com/amelia.html

The car is in great mechanical condition, but it's a ten-foot car... looks good from ten feet away. The AC and cruise control don't work and it needs a new rear view mirror (on the windshield) and driver's side door-stop. I believe it has the engine upgrades as it's got the eleven blade fan, but I'm 100% certain. The car is completely rust-free and was originally sold new in California, where it lives now. Any questions feel free to email me. Thanks!

Thanks for all the low-ball offers, but I'm not desperate to sell and the car runs great. Furthermore, with the prices of the 63-73 and SC's being what they are, this is market accurate.

Great article! Seems like a really solid car and a fair price, I just wish I had a place to keep an old 911.

Good luck with the sale

For all those who have asked, the car has service records dating back eight years. Thanks!

Just curious as to why someone who popped off about ONLY paying 9200 dollars for the car, now thinks its worth close to 13k.

Just not sure why you are having to bring up low ball offers seeing how you paid low ball for it in the first place.

I enjoyed that too. So bought a car for $9200, put new tires on and flogged it XC for 6000 miles, and now it's worth $13! Seems logical.

No need to hate, it's his car he can post it up for whatever he wants..simple supply and demand.
