I think Hagerty is really, really close with his numbers. I have never owned a #1 car, mine are usually #2's (+or-) and I drive them as much as I can (2 times a week minimum). After reading this thread I called up my insurance broker (LeLand West) and upped my value on both of my cars ('71 911T Targa, '70 914-6). I had my '71T at $52,000 and upped it to $65,000 no problem ( I know that is a real number because I have offers). Now my 914-6 I got a real deal on this one (not telling) upped it to $60,000 no problem. Comment from Leland West, you have very nice looking cars! My annual premium for both cars is $625.00. Here is what they look like:

Great looking "6" Mike.
Why ? Of all of them I'd think the T are the least crazily priced. I imagine your car isn't a condition 1, maybe not even what they call a 2... Seems "alright" to me (I too have a 72T) given the costs of a resto and paint job, it's actually in the ballpark. Versus a $200K+ S anyway... ;-)

It seems like a lot of really nice longhoods have been put on the market this year. These sales could be skewing the market upward. It could also be the world recognizing the value of the early 911s.
A lot of us are getting to the senior years, and when a much loved possession is suddenly worth a significant amount of money, it tends to " focus the mind" , as someone once said.
I for one never expected to see my Porsches valued at this level. So the decision is: is it a bubble, or are the values shifted permanently upward?

If most people thought it was a bubble, they'd all just sell now and buy back when the prices plummet (assuming they were still in love with 911s). Who wouldn't take the opportunity to sell a '73S for 300 grand and then buy an RS for the same price when the market collapses ?
Not seeing that right now. Most owners are standing pat, given how few of the thousands of early cars made are actually trading on an annual basis.

Not that simple. Yes, If most people thought it was a bubble, there would end the bubble. I agree most do not think it is, but only time will reveal the truth.

Please, no offense meant, but there is a difference between the truth, and the results of a poll. One can lose sight of that in today's world, all too easily.
