So it certainly appears if one uses BAT as a reference point that weapons grade 914/6 builds have been fully excepted as “worthy” the Porsche market.
Nearly all of those builds, however, have been high dollar endeavors, and while highly impressive machines many of them seem a bit compromised for actual road use or touring. Any thoughts on where 3.0 and 3.2 L builds that are not taken to the max now trade? |

Is the take away from that one sale that you need to put flares on the car? Widebody does bring more money but it cost money to get there. I don't know anyone who builds project cars to sell at a profit without having a customer lined up and footing the build. If shops could build on spec and make a profit, they would absolutely do it. It's tough being married to a customer for a year or three while you build their car. I don't generally see private individuals selling project cars at a profit either. Someone once told me in real estate, you make money on the buy side". It took me a while to understand but I believe buying and selling cars works the same way. " |
