Vintage no longer a "Starter" speedster

plus…it's a 1969 Speedster!

Ah but i'ts a Super Replica!  And Bee hives.

I vow never to sell my car on this site where people know what they're buying. It's the mecum auction for me 

WOW such a deal I would buy it now but it has a bar code sticker on the valve cover so........... I'm out ~

 

"There's an Ass for every seat"

 

"The color combination, the interior and the thought behind this 1969 Porsche 356 Replica is explainable."

I'm still waiting for my explanation.

It shows well but it sure isn't near $60k worth of nice!

That is completely nuts. 

 

What are they asking, about double the original price?

I'll sell mine for 10% less

Yours is too nice to be discounted like that...it should be at least ten percent more!

Tom,

Make sure you mount a print of that photo of your speedster with the background of palm trees, shady green grass, unsalted smooth roads and the shirt sleeve balmy weather. Put it in a nice frame next to your Colorado fireplace so you can wistfully refer to it as you're gazing out your window at accumulated snow and ice up to your arse... that has you isolated and grouchy for days on end. 

Hi Carl .... yes .... and how quickly I will forget that the 92 deg plus humidity equates to over 100 deg ..... and that's not including any black top reflections ....  When I went for a mid-day drive last week I thought I was cruizen in a Sauna with a sun lamp over my head (however the evening cruises are heaven) ..... Florida has many positives and we plan on coming back to visit the grand children often.  

 

also for a skier ..... snow up to the arse is heaven  

 

Hey! With all this sarcasm you guys a devaluing the value of our cars! It's like real estate comps. If that car sells for $60k the value of your car will go up! I don't know about you but I am ready to sell my car for $60 or $70k. These little cars are worth every penny!

 

Now repeat this mantra, "Man I made a great investment when I purchased my car. I am so glad that my car is now worth $60 thousand dollars".

 

Now then doesn't that sound wonderful?

Yep, Speedster Replicas are just like mid-2000s houses in the Inland Empire and Vegas. They only go up in value.

Carl, For your information Colorado DOT does not use salt on the roads to melt snow/ice they use a non-saline ice melt mixed with sand

 

DOT quit using salt years ago when it was found that it was a contributing factor to wearing out asphalt/concrete

Germany used to use slag left over from burning coal for power - stuff was full of sulfur (as in sulfuric acid). Most states have gone to magnesium chloride as its more environmentally favorable to roadside plants.  It still has chloride as key ingredient - just like sodium chloride (aka salt). 

Why would anyone object to killing, or at least stunting, roadside weeds? Besides patching asphalt potholes in the spring provides gainful employment.

I'm with you Rusty - don't devaluate the market...let it set it's own pricing levels. OK so we all know better but don't forget that the price of the real deal is going astronomically high. I firmly believe that our cars are every bit as attractive and will go up in price over time. I just love driving it and people love seeing classic cars.  I, as I am sure many of you get a lot of great responses from onlookers, what's not to like about a sexy and sleek grocery getter...!!! May the Market be with us!!!
