FS: NOS 901 “C” First Gear Options

[Amenson]

As the title states, this is a NOS “C” first gear, including reverse idler.












I searched several placed to try to find the value of a “C” first but could not find a single one listed previously. If anybody knows of one having been listed please forward the listing to me.

I would prefer to list it strictly on offer but forum rules prohibit that so I will start at:

$1500 OBO Shipped CONUS

Paypal (fee free) or cash. I will ship overseas.

Real value could be well over or well under…I have no idea. Please feel free to make an offer.

From what I can tell this was a ratio in an early 911 box so I will be listing it elsewhere and will evaluate offers after some time.

Regards,
Scott

The last one I bought from Rich at HPH was $750. He had one other. Last I looked you could have one made for around $800.

I agree
Matt has these made in my believe Australia and of superior quality
I sold a W I bought from roger Sheridan for 450 or so

You may want to shop the price of new superior reproductions

I don't disagree, Albins makes pretty much any gear ratio for the 901. I was surprised when a guy from the UK contacted me about a used R I had and offered almost double what a new one cost before I even listed it for sale. Apparently originality has a value.

Yea, the NOS factory one I purchased was $750. Last year there were a couple on eBay for around the same price or slightly more but less than $900. Someone might pay what you are asking instead of waiting to find one or having one made. For some, $1500 isn't a lot of money. I spent $7K building a 901 for one of my race cars. Racing advantages are measured in fractions of a second. Those last few can be expensive. I use C for first gear. Eventually the market may catch up to your asking price but in my experience it isn't quite there yet. I would purchase it for $800 but would have one made before paying more.

This is why I make it very clear in my post that I am open for offers. If it is worth $750 and that someone offers that, I will be perfectly happy.

Thanks,
Scott

PET only shows on 1 st gear. Is this for the main shaft with replacable gear and is it a different ratio than stock ?

That is how understood what you said and I think that is very fair. I'd purchase it for $750 shipped to 95051, if you would accept. Should fit in a small flat rate box.

Mike,
Thanks for the offer. You are the first at $750, another guy offered the same by PM after you. If I don't get a higher offer it is yours.

Cheers,
Scott

[koozy]

OK, thanks. How would you like payment?

[Amenson]

OK, thanks. How would you like payment?

I'll get back to you via PM if it sells to you.

[koozy]

How long do you plan to shop my offer around before you make your decision?

So ...I thought this was not a bid site........

Where is Sir Andy on this one

This is bunk. Your statement above insinuates that you would take a $750 offer.

It doesn't look good on the surface but there could be a very good reason this transaction didn't go through. The seller may have had something come up that was more important than selling a car part on the internet. Let's give him the opportunity he deserves to get back to this exchange. Heck, what if he is dealing with an ailing family member, or a work commitment. I know we kinda have a gentleman's agreement between sellers and buyers on this site but things come up and maybe the seller doesn't sell much here. I don't know the guy and I have bought and sold LOTS of stuff here. We don't typically handle transactions like this but maybe where he typically sells they do. So, now we know and we wait to see what will come of this. I'm sure he gets pinged when folks comment on here so he will likely respond. I'm OK either way. I placed a good faith offer at the price he said he would be happy with. Maybe the extra $100 he is holding out for would make a big difference in his life. We don't know that so let's let him settle it in the way that works best for him.

I doubt there is any way to reply to this without starting a shit storm so I will be as straight forward as possible.

I appreciate having an offer and it is high enough for me sell it instead of putting it back in the drawer for a few more years, but that does not mean that I am going to accept the offer immediately.

When I was selling the used "R" to a guy for much more than $750 he thought that the "C" was also quite desirable, just not right for his setup. I have other feedback from a reputable transmission builder that the fair price is also higher than the current offer. I also appreciate, and trust, koozy's feedback about what he paid for his last one but suspect that he is like me and really appreciates getting an exceptionally good value when purchasing parts, and he probably will but....

This is a part that has a very limited number of people who are possible buyers. It has been listed for sale here for two days and less on Pelican. This is not nearly enough time for potential buyers to have the opportunity to stumble on either post.

Cheers,
Scott

No shit storm, Scott. Just forum rules. The "I'll take the highest offer" thing is kinda frowned upon in this setting. That is typically reserved for auctions.

[koozy]

The way I see it, we are doing just fine here. You have a list price, I have an offer. You are shopping it around to see if you can get more than I offered. How long do you plan to shop it around before you let me know?
