Foreign collector bought it.

Bitter sweet. Cuz that car, once restored properly, will fetch a pretty US/UK Shekel for it...and trinidad had one here...smh

Adam Levine paid close to 900kUSD for his.....and his was LHD...

*shrugs



i'm no expert or porsche owner, but i think that looks more like a turbo carrera, based on the whale tail spoiler. RS used a ducktail.

fantastic nonetheless.


here you go.... car being offloaded to its new owner...

front... looks like a SC to me tho.. or a butchered 73 RS....

didn't know we had them kinda 911 down here,
any history on how they were brought down and what type of drivers their owners were ?
Luxury park up or enthusiast ?
Those old 911 supposed to be easy to fix, once you have a good multimeter and know what you doing
at least from what I have read on 911 forums, lol
there is no shortage of online help available.

Don't mean to be out of timing but I'm curious about a really cool old school tuner car I got a glimpse of the other night on SMR and want to know if you guys are familiar with it.

Reminded me of an escort coupe body and it was purple with a lot of decals and a black and white duck bill spoiler.

Interested in its engine as well because it sounded awesome. Thanks!

That Patrol looks amazing, kinda reminds me of the one I had.

Probably made into a "new" Frontier by now.

Problem there is that I think everyone wants a project car, but everyone thinks it should be dirt cheap/free


That.

Same with the MGB I bought a few months back for 6k.....sitting in a garage, ppl knew about it, nobody did anything...I went, bought it, suddenly ppl like oh gosh, ah wanted dat car real bad.....chups
