The market is not quite speaking yet for Early 911's...After driving a friends car I found a decent restoration project driver hoping that if I purchased low enough and the economy shows continued signs of improvement, these highly discretionary consumer purchases...Little P cars too might appreciate faster than expected...
Here is a little evidence of that thinking just out today: Three good pieces of news today—lower jobless claims, higher Chicago manufacturing, higher pending home sales--- all suggest better economic growth in 2011.
Sustainable growth, no double dip, and job gains of 160,000 in 2011 compared to 90,00 on average for 2010.
Good News all around.
Happy Holidays!

I agree both these sales were underwhelming......
86 Sport Purpose Carrera "O4"
The green 67 S has been for sale for the better part of a year through PCA. I think the ebay price was pretty close to original asking price.

Underwhelming in terms of price, the cars or both?
I saw Eade's Targa in the spring when it still had the hot rod motor. Frankly, I'm surprised it didn't bring more $, and I'm not sure what to make of the price. Did anyone see the 67S in person such that they can comment directly?
An S with a Sporto is quite rare. However, the uniqueness of the Sporto is not yet everyone's cup of tea. IMHO the car was well bought at ~44K. As to the 67 I can't say.
Be Well.

Given the rarity of the Sporto S with all the goodies, I thought it was a low side number.
The 67S was also bought for less than I would have anticipated given the description and the dreck that has recently sold into the low $20s.....

Hey Matt,
I think your opinion is correct.
I've been talking with friends that are small business owners (this is very unscientific since it's "car guys"). They tell me a "light switch" went on after 1-3-11. Their phone has been ringing with orders. Eight of ten said they may need to bring people back on the payroll with the increased demand.
If we assume the PPI was done and passed, I'd agree the "price" was well bought.
