Suggestion
Hand picked by Bruce Anderson and shipped to oz, where it had a detailed factory correct conversion to RHD using NLA parts.
Leading evidence: 'Use nla parts' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use nla parts' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

hi
just joined... Been looking at the RSR replica currently on carsales (silver with black interior, at duttons, priced at $120k) and wondering if any of you experts had any comments on it, i.e. Any good? Good price? These hot rods, too much trouble, high maintenance?
The background info I know is:
has a 930 turbo Aussie 3.0 engine
chassis/shell imported from USA and converted to rhd
engine built/prepped by autoart
Has boxster brakes
has a fuel cell petrol tank in the boot <-- what's the point of this? Just lose boot space!
has upgraded cam
Thought maybe best is to get a ppi with weltmeister done.... (I'm no techo)
Do your research on registration. It WILL need a VASS certificate and will need to go on M plates if under the club permit scheme in VIC. Not necessarily a big deal but do your research.
They have had it for a long time. Pricing seems inline with backdate cars (originally asking a lot more). Possibly some complication like GUT is suggesting? You certainly couldn't build it anymore for that price.
Considering the baseline price for a decent AC 911 I'd say 120k is a fair price especially considering the $$$ that's been spent on it.
As tuboT said, no way you could build it for that. Looks like one hell of a car!
Also worth considering Loui at Motionautomotive for an inspection as an alternative to Weltmeister. Best of luck!
I sourced a 1972e matching numbers RHD converted car for a mate a month ago. Some at the PFA Canberra meet saw it Sat night.
Hand picked by Bruce Anderson and shipped to oz, where it had a detailed factory correct conversion to RHD using NLA parts. Repainted a non orig but year correct pastel blue , laden with period correct factory options including sport seats and came with spare parts galore and boxes and boxes of ownership information and records.
110k I thought it a steal and would have encouraged my mate to buy even if it was 140k. The 110k likely sets a high water mark for an early converted car.
I'm thinking DUTTONS et al would list this at more than 160?
what am I saying? Forgotten
Oh yeh think you could apply a bit of downward pressure on the sticker price,
Car is nice.. considered it for NSW rego ,too difficult..maybe VIC would be easier , used to have a bigger price tag ..so not sure how much of squeeze you will get on price
Cheers guys, thanks for the replies. not sure what year the body is.
Yes, I need to look into the rego more as its not straight forward, I think they wanted to sell w/o a rwc too... Hhmmm!
As I said, in VIC you're almost certainly going to need a VASS.
It says it's a '75 body in the ad. So that means emissions will be ok. But you're going to need to pass 96dB at around 4000rpm.
I'd also be concerned about the wheels passing engineering - they're custom jobs.
Seats, seatbelts, steering wheel, roll cage all need checking.
Consult a VASS signatory to get a sense of what might be involved.
Don't underestimate what might be required.
Best to do things right - some clubs might run it through on H plates but I wouldn't want to test that with an insurance company after an incident or VICRoads in an audit.
Go in with eyes wide open - don't trust a seller's assurances that 'she'll be right'.
I think that the yellow 930 hot rod (been for sale for ages) is a better car..
its on car sales too.
just needs a good set of wheels, but they done a fine job in building it , and claim they have all receipts for it.was built local in melbourne as well so u can ask engine builder whats it got.
i was nearly going to buy it but found a faster one....
yep, interior is much nicer and it probably is a smoother ride but I'm just not a fan of yellow or 964s (sorry to all 964 dudes)... And love the look of ye olde long bonnet types....
you could probably get it for 80-90k.... change out the crap wheels, add some black stripes or even paint it with the price difference. its based on 76 model shell.... i looked right into buying it, but found a much faster one for half the price!!
good luck, keen to hear what u get. either way, any hot rod or replica you find will be (and is) great fun!!
Symsy, its on the lower floor not on ground floor... You have to ask to get access.
Update: anyway, have now just completed a PPI with Ben at weltmeister ... Not progressing.
:-(
thanks mate... I need help!
Having owned a perfect 1989 3.2 coupe about 10 yrs ago and sadly had to sell I've reignited my Porsche addiction now after watching too many 'singer' videos... Those bastards in the US. Can't afford a real RSR!
well, I think as a professional courtesy to both parties, I'll refrain from spelling it out on the interweb... But anyone interested in buying or investigating this car more, feel free to contact me.
UPDATE: Lot 40 at the motorclassica auction this Saturday (October 23) looks awfully familiar!! Just saying....
As a famous hunter once said, "be vewy vewy careful, it's rabbit season & im huntin' wabbits!! ?
Wait for the pass in /pass back .. no paperwork.. how do you own a car with no paperwork .. big discussion or do the car keys just count as title?
Maybe the new owner gotta photo of the corner of a rego document or whatever it i have a a photo of that relates to that car.
Whats the buyers premium Michel and the sellers ? Do you know ?
thanks Michel. Well, it's a project car for sure. Hope they know that. And good point Symsy, the premium? That'll make $80k+... Me thinks that's too much... Way too much. Happy days seller.
There has been a white one out at The Healey Factory. Fully registered and with personalized plates on it. ---RS etc.
It's about $110,000 and a full resto.
They seem to always have 1-2 of those resto classics lying around - good on 'em!! There's a green one on carsales now from them, looks great too. I can't see the white online.... did you drop in and see it?
I'm a satisfied customer!
Yes Bernie, it was taken back of the floor by the owner after non sale over a period of months ...been discussed here - 78 SC Lefty to righty Zag car....The green one there looks great but only saw it from 10 feet...
The green car was a japanese lhd car converted and backdated by Zag in 2007. I have been told that it does look great from 10 feet but there are some minor paint issues when up close. It's been on the market for a long time.
I have pawed over both cars , both really well done …. having never really seen a Zag car and them having mixed reviews by various people ... the white car the cleaner .. great and nice formn slam panel work .. I prefer the green car interior ..
The green car has some paint shrinkage on bonnet and a few other minor issues..
The white car when I saw it was mint , for the the appeal of the green car is the G50.. they both need some ooomph in the HP department though
I cant understand why the green car has stayed fixed on price.. and the white car with fresh paint and fresh build hasnt sold..
Surely if you were new to the market and just rocked up to a 102k car , without piking you would offer 5-10% lower thann the advertised price and that would make it super cheap..would it not at 92k-97k..
I guess backdates arent everyones cup of tea but with the price of SC'S and not prompting another holy war here .. you would be getting a good drive for your money compared to tired but original SC would you not ..
Overall I have to say .. I was impresed by the Zag level of finish although I would want my car with a bit more spice in the handling dept too
You answered your own question mate ;-)
If my SC was an Oz delivered car, and someone wanted to swap a backdated one for it (in similar condition), I'd do it in a heartbeat
