If I had all the money in the world I would get it. Looks very well done.

That's beautiful. Someone will buy it at that price. Looks almost too perfect under that lighting, like a plastic model.

No way that car is worth 34k. As you can tell from my avatar, I have one of these majestic anger creating machines, and these things in anything other then turbo form do not hold their value well at all.

For 34k, you could literally build this thing yourself, put the roll cage in it that it will require since anything over 250 hp in these cars is a borderline death wish (in the awesome way), and be able to pay for track days for quite a long time.

I've been throwing the idea around to do an LS swap in mine, I've done a bit of research, and the number that keeps popping up is around 10k, is about what it costs people from start to finish, give or take.

Let's not forget, due to the engineering of this car, it may have a nice V8, but it still will have the 944 torque tube, and the 951 transmission, drag racing is out of the question unless you like replacing transmissions. And 951 transmissions are getting rarer and more expensive by the day, so in some ways, a big engine upgrade could hurt the value.

I won't lie, it is very well done, but this is yet another case of thinking upgrades increases value tenfold. Yeah, it makes the car worth more, but not used modern 911 money.

I mean hell, the guy spent all this money on a restomod, and didn't even bother to get the 930 sport steering wheel.
