Why is this car so cheap?


It's an oddity...it's not a 914, it's not a 911....due to the way it was built, it would be hard to place it in some racing orgs....

it is trick and different and I bet a blast to drive....I couldn't afford to replace those tires wacko.gif

This one time, on Mulholland, smilie_pokal.gif

But does seem a bit odd, can't imagine he has less than $200K in build costs.

agree.gif

Damn you for posting this! mad.gif

Think I can pull it off without the divorce, but will cost me a hell of a lot more than $55K biggrin.gif
Jeroen
Hmmm... lessee $55K = €41K
Nope... not today sad.gif

Why do they call it a 996 ? Nothing on the car remotely is close to 996 ?

It isnt legal in SCCA for anything but SP class (which is a non points class basically)

Cool car.

Hey Howie......my check for half is in the mail biggrin.gif ............go ahead and bid on it.

You can race that car in PCA GTP class, I was just at the roebling road club race and a fabcar 911 was running, it did very well, third overall I think.
Brad Roberts
Not unless it has a log book dating back to 1996.

You can spank ricers with just about anything that has more torque then an impact wrench. They just put it in drive, hit the gas, and wait for turbo. If you get them off the line, then back off and act like you've already won. Then if they bitch, challenge them to the twisties in your 914!

I emailed the seller about some pics of the engine bay. I got 6 pictures, huge resolution, so these are shrunk pretty good. If anyone wants the high res, i can zip and email.

WTF??? ohmy.gif Is that where the petrol goes?
TimT
pretty cool, it has a 993 rear subframe, but CIS? and what looks like a reworked 930 intercooler

With CIS you run out of fuel at about 475hp..

Is that Marilyn Manson on the fuel cell? unsure.gif
Katmanken
Nah......

Its his EX......

Wait til you see the oil fill in the rear...... happy11.gif

Really must stop looking at this thing. It's working like Viagra! Buy this and a salvage 74 for the VIN. Sell the race motor, put in a stock 3.6 and enough street stuff to get it thru DMV as a rebuild.

Rock Store, Crystal Cove, Woodward killer. Taking my meds now rolleyes.gif

Patrick, joint venture?
ppickerell
Look at the topic title....wanna go halfsies? Seriously 55K as a buy it now price seems quite reasonable.
ppickerell
Dare to dream. I have allways wanted a 930 turbo. This one is almost mint!

Please, someone tell me that they are 'kinda' interested in buying the "996" so I have an excuse to check it out! boldblue.gif
If the car is actually located in Dunedin, it's minutes from my place!
