Ahhhh, gotcha smile

Will bear it in mind, thanks. Still think I'm right with a 1.5k estimate though for someone who hasn't got the skill (me) or time (me) to do it.

I'm sorry but I hope this hasn't been posted, I looked through the last 2 pages but slowed internet forbade rougher inspections.

Mustang engine into faded red sierra.





How bad can this be?

I believe the answer is: incredibly.
Was posted a month or two ago but I swear it was £5k or there abouts last time?! Unless i've gone mad.
It was posted in the 0-5K thread so you're probably right. I guess his lawyers bills are coming through...
lawyer bills? confused

Sadly selling this car due to divorce.
Ah, yes, I see.
I thought I'd posted it somewhere and yes it was more reasonably priced before. Maybe someone is flipping it?
The engine and box ONLY is also for sale on ebay for £6,995

There is a RHD GT for £20k on cutters!!

I didn't like my 944 turbo. Great concept. But no.

I would do the CSR/manual 530/rally car thing.
I liked the few Ts that I've driven. Both were in mega shape though, tiptop suspension, tyres, go etc.

CSR really only possible if everything else goes apart from rally Porsche.

I don't think you'd go too far wrong in any - given that your options include a manual 928GT, an E39 M5, or a 996CSR.

I think you should take the 996 option, though: that CSR pictured above does look lovely (and I haven't read the details, but I imagine it'd be a bit of a mini 996GT3), and it also sounds like it's what you really want.

And you'd end up with an enviable track-day/rally pairing!!!

928GT all the way... a rare car and getting rarer and more valuable. They won't ever be this cheap again, even though they've doubled in the last year. You can still just about get a good one for £12-15k.

I honestly hope they are not. I can't stand this rampant classic car inflation, it takes all the fun out of it. It doesn't make the hobby self-funding, as it's sometimes tempting to assume, it just means that the 360 Modena manual you promised yourself will now probably never happen, and interesting cars can't be taken on track.

360Modenas are as cheap as ever, starting at £40k.

All that is happening is the 25 yr itch.

As a rough guide, interesting cars start to appreciate after about 25yrs give or take. Apply to that factors such as: spares & repairs ballaches, rust ballaches, supplied numbers and middle aged desirability and you can look at cars from between 20 - 30 yrs old and get a decent idea of what happens with their prices.

928GTS prices started to climb a few yrs ago with desirability and numbers masking their AAAARRRRGGGHHHH spares n repairs'ness factor. The GT is now at the balance point with the AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH crying into your wallet factor still keeping prices sane. That will soon change.

Really?

Really?

Dealers are bidding more than that for good cars.

According to this market data, they're on the move along with everything else.

Again, right now, anything "interesting" is firming and or rising; 996/7 GTs, for example.

You could get presentable 360s for around £30-35k when I was looking a few years back, I bid £31k on a silver/black one that had done circa 40k miles and only didn't buy it as when he finally agreed I'd bought something else.
