hi guys Dom here new to forum
want to buy a kit car porsche 911.
if anyone knows of one for sale please let me know.
cheers,

Kit car 911, do you mean a Porera kit for a bug?

No I think he means a replica 911 in glass.....there was one on egay a month ago...

Thers a guy in perth that was selling the mould
911 on beetle pan
Someone from over there will know his number ... I cant find it

that would be pretty sweet. if u find pics put it up and show us!

I'm not sure whether they were available in Australia but the Covin was a pretty good UK kit on a Beetle pan.



This one is a Covin.



This is a real Porsche. Pretty close if you ask me!

Edit: Sorry, I just looked it up and they may have a purpose-built chassis, not a Beetle pan. They still use the Beetle transmission, engine and suspension though, although they used Type 3 suspension instead in some models and of course all kinds of engine swaps are possible.

covin did make a replica.i could import one over but too expensive.i'll just wait to one shows up for sale here. i do know that there is one in QLD if anyone knows the whereabouts its blue in colour.

I remember a kit in the early 90s that was a 911 cabrio body that dropped straight ona bug floor pan

thinkk it may have been called a predator?
It looked pretty close to the real thing

Sorry to detract from the thread but I could just never quite fathom why someone would want a car that looks like a porsche but sounds, handles and goes like a volkswagen, kind of an oxy moron.

Covins look the part atleast but those bloddy porreras which kept the beetle roofline with a porsche look nose and tail tacked on....

Hi mark fancy bumping into you in this forum
i was wanting to see more photos of the covin if u still was interested in selling
that red looks good.what a shame about that 935 jeff was quick to grab it.

A 911 kit... why?

Dom, it would be cheaper, and more efficient to purchase a real 911!

There was one at Volkspower when i worked there, the kit was called a preditor, there were advertisments in mid to late 90s aussie vw mags for a company who supplied them in Aus. would be cheaper to buy a real 911

you all are right it would be cheaper in the long run but i love both the 911 and bugs so i suppose i want best of both worlds.

far out man they are cheap
thanks for that calling bout the white conv .

Check insurance out before you buy one. When I had a real one it was costing $2200 yr in the country. My replica is $400 yr.

thanks mark
i will be waiting until you or rainer decide to sell up

pm sent

I want one too!!!

how much do they usually sell for?

They are very rare to find in Australia. I've seen a couple of complete ones around the $20k mark. The white one in the pics was advertised for $22k when I bought it ( I paid $15k). The yellow one I bought as a shell for $5k and its probably cost $20k or more to build it.

unless you are building a speedster or 550s buy a real one !!!

Does anyopne know where I can get hold of a 356 Speedster kit car? I've looked and found some great manufacturers in NZ, but not much info on Aus-based kit car companies.

There has also been a couple of semi completed ones on ebay over the past year...

Be careful with Speedster replicas on a shortened pan if unregistered. Very difficult to get them registered now.
And if you like 911 with simply mechanics (4 cyl, etc), buy a 912

Here is my RSK replica. Just came back from the paint shop
