It's hardly surprising they didn't sell, even if someone could produce a viable kit from that starting point there would be virtually zero chance of selling any.
They didn't sell because of lack of interest,they didn't sell because the seller wanted more money than anyone was prepared to pay.I really couldn't envisage what the bidders had in mind.
Given these bodies use Porsche parts such as glass,lights,door handles etc.....parts that are now exceedingly hard to find..... I can't imagine how they'd sell to the public.
Plus Beetle floorpans are not exactly common these days so a new chassis would need designing.
But by the same token the value of genuine 911s of that body shape put them out of reach of your average buyer.

how much would it take to make that a viable business?
say you had all those parts and could start knocking out the panels, could you only use the moulds for one material and not something like carbon fibre?
Also wonder why the owner is not doing it? Parts are particularly expensive now, it would seem a no brainer.
The owner bought the moulds years ago,did nothing with them and refused to sell.....until nowsay you had all those parts and could start knocking out the panels, could you only use the moulds for one material and not something like carbon fibre?
