Looks like a Vintage Speedster to me.
Definitely a Vintage Speedster the "tells" are clear.

....911 eh? I would run from the seller and his inflated pricing.
What are the 'tells'?
Thank you!
Thank you!
The vinyl (or leather) covering on the dash stops and inch or so short of the doors. The door panels are typical Vintage. The door tops are square rather than rounded (Vintage uses a piece of wood under the upholstery). Both JPS and Vintage use the same basic body and the flares on the widebody version are characteristic of that design. There are probably more that I'm not aware of.
It's a VS
Eliminate the middleman and call Vintage; That's what I did.

No question, they are expensive now.
Alan, You've had a lot of experience in selling Speedster. What would you think my car is worth these days?

Though I not in the market to sell it. I have had offers. If I get a offer I can't refuse ... It's gone. I could always make another with alot more improvements. I'm still working on the 56 ratrod project.
Rock on, Joe. Build, build, build.
You do nice work, my friend.
As for the silver car, man, I'd like to see what's inside a "race" transmission. Any chance it looks like a 3.88:1 with an .089 ring and pinion "Freeway Flier?"
I do like Vintage Speedsters, though. Very nice treatment of the original idea.

Joe, glad to see you posting. You were missed at Carlisle this year. Hey, Lane, Joe gave me a ride! I know, you hate me even more now!
Joe,
It's tough say......A few years back I got $24.4 for a very custom CMC flared with a Raby Type IV. All a seller needs is one buyer that knows what they are looking at as well as the overall value of a vehicle....In know Joe, this didn't help all that much :)
