There's a few bits and pieces not quite right on face value... more than just the conversion. Steering wheel, wheels are wrong, carpet isn't right, window cranks, hood badge.
Love to know what it goes for - $150k and it's not a correct car?! It's certainly making my correct 68L harder to turn into a race car

In a previous conversation CTS indicated they would never put a converted 911 on their showroom floor.
Ahh! I've misread the 'conversion' as being steering when it is about the transmission. Mia culpa.
I still find the price to be extraordinary - perhaps not in a bad way, just *surprised
*So for the exercise (and I'm not meaning to be nasty-picky); colour, gearbox, steering wheel, wheels, window cranks, speaker holes, hood badge, carpet would need to be sorted if you were all about "correctness". The 68 year is brilliant if you have a complete car - many single year components found on no other year. But they are a bane if chasing originality and you're missing some of the above mentioned items!
Interesting. I like to see 68's so highly regarded. Pity about those speakers in the door panels but the seats look pretty right (3 screw plates) and should those Fuchs have 'hearts'?
I thiink the market that CTS are chasing is the English market. Seems the last 2 big sales went that way and not surprising given the shape of our $ and the fact that we are a dry RHD market.
Yes almost impossible now John. I have deeps, but 15x6. Not unhappy with them however, and when my new Michelins XWX 185's go on, even better. What seems wrong with the window cranks on the CTS car?

Maybe I should see what my blue car attracts?

Did you get the chassis number by any chance
I think it may be one that has been there a couple of times before, but last time it had rubber on the bumper over riders and a nudge bar at the front as well as fog lights but only about 5000 miles less on the odo.
That car was a converted sporto with the same speakers in the doors.
Given the current international market, and the work you have put in John, plus the exchange rate differential, I reckon you could crack that sort of money for your 69 car.
