Nice 74

The tar pads look original with gold patina from the clear coat but I’ve never seen this tiny pattern, do any other 74s have this?

wow...that is a beautiful find.

 

[Markos]

Very nice!

Yup, nice 74. Buy it (hopefully for less than $40k) and send it to Bennyz to get a bumper conversion (since they know how to do it now from Scott's car)!

Called them - no asking price yet. Testing the market on eBay.

It's in CA - I would assume there are more knowledgeable local options (sfdon??) to have the bumper work done before shipping it home. With all due respect to Bennyz - their e9 adventure highlights the value in having someone knowledgeable do the work.

And I would want proof of the mileage claim.

hard to disagree.....although honestly, I don't think they ever even looked at a single schematic to identify needed parts, etc. Ultimately, turned out nice but it was painful and time consuming.

Chris, Pretty sure I saw that pattern yesterday on one of my 1970 2800s. It kind of surprised me that’s why I remember.

I am getting the car delivered in the next couple,of days and I will post “pics to prove’

I think it just sold for $60 k!
Not showing any close photos of the hidden rust spots, and being a 74 (ugly bumpers) I am curious if there is more indication of market surging ....

Holy crap! Must have been super nice! We'll see if it sticks (i.e. doesn't show up next week again).

There is nothing shown on eBay. Was listing removed?

Look at my link.

Ebay changed stuff where old auctions from the old link doesn't directly give you that auction. But it does show a link to the old auction.

 

[autokunst]

Looks like it sold for $59,995

Welln......I must have seen that pattern some where else. My 2800s have no tar pads.

After watching the slideshow and losing count of how many things are wrong or missing with this car I am stunned that it sold for $59,900.00.
What is my car worth!

Isn't this the seller that has been lambasted on this forum multiple times for his scam auctions, false feedback and frankenstein E9's

In viewing the bid history Rob posted it appears someone was bidding against themselves to run up the price. The bids got to $37,000, then suddenly someone bid the buy-it-now price of $59.999? Highly suspect...

IT's possible m***s(206) might have saw it in person and thought it was worth $60k and just decided to snag it before someone else does.

I've sold quite a few cars on ebay and I prefer a BIN price, plus a way to "Offer" a price. That way I don't deal w/BS bids.

So I did click on your link; however, it shows just a small image of the car, and a link, which I also clicked on. It reveals "The listing you’re looking for is no longer available. Check out this similar item we found for you." So, it doesn't appear to work?

If this is the same Dusty that sells a fair amount of early Porsches, they got somewhat flamed on the early911s registry as well.
