$160k for a 912? That seems a little high to me (granted I don't know anything)

This one was for sale in my town for somewhere around $6,000 if I remember correctly... Its not as nice (the seats were a little torn, especially driver side, and the engine could've used some sprucing up) and has none of the history, but $154,000 would go a LONG way. Maybe not full rally spec (again I know nothing) but still.

I take kind of a wierd view on cars like that maserati. Cars like that, which are irreplaceable and invaluable, stop being cars to me and become merely sculpture. Sure, it is inutterably gorgeous, but could you imagine driving that maserati? If you think it would be even remotely fun, you are kidding yourself. It would be terrifying. If you so much as scratched it, you'd be irredeemably fucked.

That 912, on the other hand, ticks almost every box on the 'things I love in a Porsche' list. yeah, it is expensive, but it is still very much a car to me, and it is a set of fuchs and a colors swap away from being my platonic ideal of a porsche.

It's definitely CP, unless it was owned and raced by a legendary driver and it won championships.

If that's the case, its a totally different story. Now I'm very curious as to why the price is what it is.
I still wish I bought the 912 above, but I was just under a grand short and the price wasn't negotiable enough. That would have been so much fun.

That's why I'm paging Dusty Ventures, he's our own rallyist.

A buddy inherited a Shelby Cobra 427 from his late father. He feels the same way, and I know nothing about how those Masers drive but I imaging driving the Cobra would be like owning the proverbial bear, albeit an irreplaceable bear that literally begs you to push your luck every time you turn it on.
