Anybody in Western Australia want to go buy this and sell me the front bumper cheap?? I seem to remember seeing pics of this car on this forum somewhere. It is a standard 924 with 4 bolt wheels under that I think.

Why is it listed as a "911 (964) CARRERA"???

Because a lot of people don't know anything about the cars they come across?

They wouldn't know and wouldn't care, would be a bargain I think for anyone who wants it.

I am pretty sure it is this car though, just some bits colour coded since, maybe a whole paint job.

it's got the four bolt wheels, but how many replicas are there out there?
interesting though.
any ideas why it was written off? there doesn't look to be any damage I can see... or is it written off in a financial sense?

yeah, it could be Andy's car although Andy lived down on the NSW/Vic border. That diving-platform rear bumper is a bit of a give-away.

It says it had NSW reg, so I thought that it would be that one.

Did anyone buy this, or try to. What did it go for?

They have more pictures on there now, it has a twin weber conversion on it, would be a fun car.
