Hey guys...we have a live one here...

HATERS!

John B, are you looking for a car or stirring a pot?

You might want to look at a restorable speedster or a nice original 356a coupe. I have just seen a few on ebay, about the same price as an intermecchanica.

I'm actively looking for a car. If I'm inadvertently stirring the pot... well that wasn't my intention. I'm working with Henry, and there are some interesting options. The reason for stating upfront that I'm prepared to pay a good price is that I don't want to waste time. If anyone out there has a great car that they might be contemplating selling, then maybe my post will throw up another good option for me and for them.

In answer to the question about original Porsches - I've looked at 'the real thing'. I guess like many of the people on here, I've looked at these cars for years, and wondered. The truth is, as has been stated here before, even $100,000 - $150,00 doesn't buy a great example, and even if it did you might be scared to take it out of the garage.

Best wishes to all of you.

John.

I sent you an email. Did you get it? If not email me at WILP@roadrunner.com

.... but David's apocryphal speedster-the-same-price as an Intermeccanica MUST be true. He keeps telling us about it again, and again, and again.

Shades of "Groundhog Day", redux.

Darby, I don't get your "haters" comment. I've been away from this forum for a number of years....have I missed something?

He's posted twice.

Theres a 98 IM Roadster on ebay right now.

You guys don't see the $50,000 real GS Speedsters for sale because you run with the wrong crowd. Over on 356TALK, home of the real men of PORSCHE, original, pristine Carrera Speedsters change hands all the time in the $25,000-$50,000 range. But these cars are bought and sold between inner circle "real" buyers, not riff-raff like us. These are quiet deals between men of wealth and taste, not unwashed serfs like you and I. I learned a long time ago to just accept my fate and buy an Intermeccanica. I'll never be cool enough, or rich enough, or thin enough to own a real 356.

Hey Will, Your certainly cool AND thin enough! Just have to work on the other thing........

John B, I was looking for the same thing as you and found it about 4 weeks ago. I live around the corner from you in North Redondo. I'm not looking to sell, but this is a good place to look. My IM Speedster is California registered. If you would like to check out mine, let me know.

John, is it that you did not get my email, lost my email that I posted above, or are you really not interested in an IM Roadster? The good news is is that now that my lower back has stopped hurting me, I don't want to sell mine.

Rob,

That's very kind of you - would be great to take a look at your car, especially as you are just down the street.

Will - sent you a mail earlier, thanks.

John.

Hey John,

Good to see you on here. Are you going to try to make it to Morro Bay, or did everyone scare you off?

:-)

Jennifer,

Hi - I'm still hoping to take a trip up there, and hopefully to get a bit of inspiration from all these amazing cars. Flew to San Francisco yesterday to see Matt's incredible 911-powered IM... have a couple more cars to see in the next 2 weeks.

Good to hear from you.

Wait till he meets GERD and Vince.

John, got your mail, hope to see you in MB!

John,

Check your spam filter or e-mail me direct. I sent you a response.........;-)
