Older backdate 911
Discussion
Hi Guys -
Does anyone know of a specialist in older backdate 911s
i think Paul Stephens used to do a number of options, but it seems the market is a little broader now.
I saw a vid a while back about a build that was I think based on 996 mechanicals. ??? - but this feels a step too far IMHO...
Are there any specialists stocking these?
or has the inflation of everything pre-97 mnake these less economical sensible that doing the same ten years ago or so?
saw this and loved the look - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1984-porsche-9...

Sorry no - but why not just buy that one and save yourself heaps of cash?
thats kinda what i'm asking - are there specialisty selling these type? This is beautiful - but rather at the top end. https://www.paul-stephens.com/current-availability...
Wasn't familiar with the mechanics of that collecting cars site - just assumed that it was an old ad - will have a dig in - cheers!

that looks awesome!
yeah - i've see that build costs can be pretty extreme -
if i were to go down this route, it would likely have to be someone elses project.
this one looks to have been a good buy - but is that 3.2 running a little oddly?(the youtube vid at the bottom)
rather like Chris Harris's one

Im sure if you enquired they would give you the details of where the previous auction got to and then put you in touch with the seller who, if you buy the car, then you pay the commission.
That said maybe the reserve price was a good way off the highest bid so all info would prove useful.
Cant harm to drop them an enquiry.
There is the whole debate over original VS backdates. Personally i like the idea of a backdate but having gone down this route before of restoring and altering a car the costs get way out of hand so my advice is buy one from a private seller.
I did drop them a note - got a polite reply that it was no longer available.That said maybe the reserve price was a good way off the highest bid so all info would prove useful.

Have followed up asking where it got to - suspect that they will not disclose, but as you say - no harm in asking.
the auction scraping software would tell what it was at various times
