Not mine. No affiliation. All the standard disclaimers, waivers, releases, etc. The broker is well-known within the Porsche circle with a good reputation, although no representations are being made either

Well, if you include your time at the DMV, CHP & BAR, then calculate that time at the CA minmum wage of $8.00/hour, then you could get very close to $150K

Good One!

[RodKnock]

Oh, and I forgot, you must calculate the time spent on the telephone chasing down and talking to the Golden State Overnight truck driver who was delivering my corrected SB100 certificate (2nd or 3rd Revision, can't remember anymore) to the wrong address.......again.

Nope, you can't calculate that, it's priceless.

[ENTDOC]

In SC that time would translate to about 20 bucks

[henryr]

awesome. i can't believe it would cost anywhere near that to replicate. i have a much lower build cost number from dave wagner.

[ENTDOC]

I have built one, it doesn't

[xlr8or]

I hope he gets his price but doubt he will.

[ng8264723]

I'll have under $80 in mine with a polished body a tremec and a 482 stroked engine

That $150k was when the dow was 14000, not 8500 and falling.

[henryr]

what do you think it would currently cost to build that identical car ?

HE IS FULL OF ****

[henryr]

so the car is $75k minus engine and tranny ?

[ng8264723]

Yes that is correct assembled to a roller. There is no way that FACTORY blocked engine and tranny and assembly would cost $75,000

[1985 CCX]

You also need to highlight a few detailed items as the car uses Autometer gauges, hybrid chassis, no Webers and el cheapo 15" steering wheel. I love this car however it does not look to be in the 150k range even if the Dow was 15000?

If you were to pay to have it built as a turn key it might cost 90k-ish however if one took the initiative and did it themself it would certaily be less than 80 in my opinion. But then again I have not built one yet. Someone is looking to make a large mark up on this one.

Car itself is A-1 and I would love to have it. Add the correct gauges, Webers, paint, old school Dunlops and some other details like 16" MotoLita and it is easily a 100k car. Too bad they did not use the TL suspension.

[ng8264723]

Jeff,
Even 100,000 is too high. A big block car is always more expensive to build and they don't fetch that much. Check out this website he has a lot of Kirkham's
