Not at Mecum. It is a mostly muscle car auction. Not the place for odd ball Porsche stuff.
Mecum buyers like the bright colors . lol

Good luck to seller. $160k seems fair for this car. I'm honestly surprised that a Sepia 70S got $70k more than a Silver 72S. Maybe the 72 is pretty rough.

Lots of issues with this car if expected to bring top value. Too low, dash trim wrong, engine compartment body color instead of black, rockers body color instead of black, below dash body color instead of black, missing black trim around door edges, door pocket missing, wheels don't look properly finished...
And that is just from a few pics.
Good cars with good details still bring big $$$
All this attention on color of paint. I just went through a 2 year restoration on a SWB that had the average rust issues fixed and then painted. After this experience I have concluded the most important issue for a car is 1) does it run good. and 2) does it have all original body panels with no rust. 3) all interior is still there. If all yes ,you have a great top price car. But people at auctions are looking for Flash and color. So color should have little impact but It looks like it did here. It goes without saying--engine and trans matching but paint? I do not think so . Chris
