All,

I know a guy that has a 9146 that is a basket case - all of the parts are off and taken apart. All orig numbers.

Rusty car, though has some really good parts - some not so good.

What is the bid-ask spread for this kinda car?

I am thinking 17-25??????????

The real value in buying a Porsche is find the tired driver. A tired driver will sell for very close to what a project car will sell for, it makes no sense, but it's true. I've sold driver's of a car for within 20% of a what I sold a project for, even though it would take 10's of thousands to make them equal.
Perfect example, I had a 63 Super 90 Sunroof car a few years ago, matching numbers, rebuilt motor by a known guy, a running/driving car, originally silver, with a goopy 80's red paint job. Bad floor job, but it ran and drove. I figured it was worth $50,000-60,000, nope I had for months and barely got $40,000. 6 months later I had a project super 90 sunroof car, needed everything, I got $32,000. It makes no sense, but it's true. Find a tired driver, fix it up over time, and you'll come out way ahead.
