Part of the reason this car did so well at BJ was the fact that it was the ONLY early 911 that was offered during the entire event. It was kind of a hodge podge of parts. I was shocked at the high sale price.

. . . sure. Why not? Tons of 'em out there
Porsches? Go for it --- ditto . . . = 're-imagine' away
Soooo/then . . . . . . . how 'bout resto-modding a Mercedes? . . .
. . . or a Ferrari? . . .
. . . or a Bugatti? . . .
. . . or a Duesenberg?
Seein' what I'm seein'? . . .
......
. . . and appealing to whom?

People with spendable cash-=-and getting younger in age. They want the classic look and the modern touches. Not so interested in date codes and micro issues. I dont care about Mercedes and the rest and they appeal to another type.
If you dont think tastes change ask any antique dealer. Most have more dead inventory gathering dust than salable.

. . . dead?
'Cause I see an awful LOTTA grey/balding heads in this crowd
Dude -- seriously . . . I mean, just check-out those hairlines!
My sense is that these Auction Houses know exactly who their customers are, do their homework, and stock accordingly
Way-WAY-WAY too much money to be made to guess

'. . . Gen Xers and millennials are seeking vehicle values via Hagerty's Valuation Tools and classic vehicle insurance quotes more often than baby boomers and pre-boomers by a roughly 53-47 percent margin . . .'
My Take = 'Seeking vehicle values' is not 'buying' . . .
. . . = Hagerty, schmagerty
'Sides --- I'm more curious what they're getting quotes on . . . THAT's the money

'. . . Given current trends, millennials, who comprise the nation's largest generation, will become the hobby's single largest group within five years . . .'
Wow --- really? . . .
. . . shocking
But --- does being the 'largest group' = the 'biggest spenders'?
Short Version . . .
. . . who has The Money?
And who bought this?
