Porsche 911 964 Garage Find

Interesting for anyone who wants something untouched. I would think that you would want to park around £2k for full recommissioning and parts (maybe even more if specialist handled). Then at already the bid price it is today it's gonna cost upwards of £20k. Keen to see how well it goes and hope it does really in understanding where the market is at the moment. Good luck to the seller...
 
Indeed the bid history shows there is a lot of interest in it. I think Marcus is about right about the approx cost to get it going again. My guess would be cold oil change, plugs and filters, crank it to get oil pressure, fire it up and then follow up with a second oil change when it's hot. Brakes are likely to be too rusty to re-used so will need discs, pads and fluid.
 
I hope whoever does get it we see here in the postings and will give an update on any findings and work to get it going again...
 
It's already up to £18K and there are still 4 days to go.

Personally, I am not sure I'd want to pay much more than that for, what is, am unknown quantity.
 
Maybe things have gone as mad as the magazine's and tv shows suggest... apparently mine's more than trebled in price/value in the last two and half years judging buy what's been going on. The right sort of 996's next..?

Couple of weeks ago I drove for 911 & PW magazine out this/next month the three Gen 1 997's they are highlighting - apparently now also tipped to go.
 
Looks like it'll need a big dose of cash to re-commission it. Over £2k methinks. [:)]
 
Realistically though, re this 964 what do you need to pay for one in good working order?

I'd take the plugs out and squirt some thin oil into the cylinders and leave it a day before cranking it by hand.
Then I'd disconnect the coil lead and crank it to get the oil around before firing it up.
If the garage is dry the brakes might be OK Steve but all the fluids would need changing once started and up to temperature.
OPC Sutton Coldfield recommissioned an old white 964 last year for the competition and any prospective buyer would be wise to speak to the mechanic there for advice.
It has had a rebuild and new clutch and flywheel which are good pluses.
A good C4 should get £28-30K to a private seller IMHO.
 
No need to disconnect the coil lead David, just remove the DME relay and crank to get oil pressure. This is what I do if I ever leave mine standing for a couple of months....which is not very often. [:D]

I think good 3.4 cars are a very good proposition. Much more reliable than the later cars, and a lovely drive if not as engaging as a 964. The purity of the shape seems to have gained a lot of admirers. TBH Early 997s I simply would not touch given their bore score issues.
 
It's been sitting in the garage for the last 8 years, it doesn't look at all dry either. It may well be rotten in places that would fail the MOT, could cost a fortune.

But then again it might be a whole lot better than the white C4 that is on Pistonheads for just over £20K.....which, according to someone who's seen it, you can put your finger through some of the rust!
 
at £21k now,

will need full service, battery, tyres, discs, calipers rebuilt, valves adjusting i imagine, new tyres , as a minimum i expect and if sat in a damp garage i would have doubts about the paint/corrosion,

then there is suspension that has been sitting still for 8 years ,

impossible to tell without acutally seeing the car,

does show that values are strong at the moment though

cheers

Thats a very good price for a 964 that will need quite a bit of work.

Noticed there is a couple for sale on 964 at just under £50k now.

I wrote an article last year on 964's for a collectors magazine and predicted low mileage 964's C2s would be advertised at £50k. I dont see them going much higher than that in the next few years. They will follow the prices of early pre-impact bumper cars at some point in the future but that is probably 5 years plus away. For the moment I think £35 to £40k is a realistic price for a good car.

Scott.
