Magnus 911 S/TR sells for 275.000 dollar

[kouwenhoven]

It's also in the Gooding auction postings, but this is an unbelievable high amount for a '72 911 car. I wonder what the 275.000 dollar sale for Magnus' cars tells us

a. Magnus is king of marketing
b. Early 911's are only at the beginning of a price boom
c. Magnus builds fantastic cars
d. All three
e. Something else....

911's you (pick the model) are increasing in value and demand. I think we should all be happy they are. Magnus has done a beautiful job on building, promoting and selling his car. Good for him! As long as seller and buyer are happy....all is good.

I agree, I think it was a simple case of a ready, willing, and able buyer who saw the value and bought the car not necessarily as an investment but more of a liking for the car. I saw much of the Mecum Auction, the last few days, which featured a previously raced 550 Porsche Spyder go for $3,750,000, albeit with the history of a famous driver. Magnus has created his own following & history.
I saw several 356 Speedsters go for more than $200K. Saw an Albert Blue 911 Targa that would have been in the correct year to be a T,E, or S, but the dang anouncers/auction never mentioned which that sold for $38K plus.

From my understanding that is exactly what happened. A very knowledgeable and respected collector of means bought it because he liked it.

Famous Spyder.. 356 Speedsters yup that nice .
Magnus made a 911 "T" into a quarter million bucks plus some lol ...
I would just line them up and start pumping them out .. Just like Boyd Coddington or Jessie James does
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Well done Sir...

Cars are NOT going up in value.

The dollar is going down.

It is all an illusion and we usually fall for it... What I mean is that the DOW is at 15.000 and it was at half that price 4 years ago. So, how much money has the federal gov printed in this time? No wonder all hard assets are going up, including houses and cars. So I think this is a big part of what is happening.

Reminds me of the Hiro Yamagata Mercedes 220 convertibles.
They bought the artist.
