Classics left to die/rotting pics

Any guesses as to what it will make? £50k?

[neutral 3]

Rareity will push the price up and early 911s have a fanatical following and Those early cars rot horifically and few have survived unless an Ex dry state US car or Italian or Sth Of France car . But i cant help wonder just Why the Iconic CSL is so cheap in comparison .....

You can bet your balls that All the Porshe Dealers and Restorers in the country are watching that car. Ime guessing it ends up at " One " of the Resto Cos.

Its strange how much its "worth" as its been chopped around, there's a fair few of them and will cost a few quid to restore.

What would it restored value be?

As a unique preproduction vehicle with an interesting history I'd imagine it would be worth a fair few quid when restored - possibly well into six figures.

Story of a rather special Porsche saved from a farm in the scottish borders.

On ebay, upto 35k so far Oo

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIte...

That's an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back but I don't care (reading all 33 pages of that thread)

WHat an incredible story and a real once-in-a-lifetime one.

I know nothing about 911s really - apart from drooling over a petrol blue 911 Turbo in 1976 when I was 14 that belonged to a bloke who owned a carpet shop - but that had me enthralled.

I hope the car is restored sympathetically.

Any guesses on how much they paid and how much of a mug the Scottish chap feels?

[Rollcage]

Brendan Mullan (one of the new owners) tried to start a thread on here about the Porsche on here, but it's been removed, as it was basically an advert for the ebay auction!

I did that (33 pages) last night, hence my 3.30am post on here

[gowmonster]

I read the 33 pages too, interesting but was expecting a bit more, guess you really need to be a 911 enthusiast to properly get it.

[DHE]

That thread is worth a read.

I'll guess at 3-5k ... but no idea really!

Of course they never really *knew* whether the armer guy knew what he had at the time - which he obviously didn't ...

Please tell me I'm not alone in seeing a face in the cab, is this a set up?

I think you might be shooting at shadows. If there was a face there I'd suspect one of the other divers.

I don't think the poster said where these trucks were, but I suspect it's part of the fleet of loaded merchant ships in Truk Lagoon. They're still full of vehicles and equipment for the Japanese Army which was never unloaded before they were sunk. Can't imagine the US/Japanese authorities would have left any war dead down there.
