    Those sold seem to validate the accuracy of the Hagerty valuation guide.

    I was down at Amelia Island and attended portions of the Gooding and RM auctions. Also had one of our cars down at the Porsche Werks Reunion which was a blast.

    Based on the auctions this wknd, I'd say long hoods and 356s are flat to slightly down. The limited production more "modern classics" (964/993/996/997) continue to be strong. The 964 Turbo S Leichtbau was >$1.3M for example. The GT1 Strasseversion was >$5M though I think they were hoping it might bring more than that actually. But there were at least 3 356 Carrera 2s between the various auctions and I believe at least 1 maybe 2 didn't hit reserve if I remember correctly.

    Broader market seemed slightly down anecdotally. There were some unique cars that triggered bidding wars, for example at RM a rare LHD Bentley S1 convertible (uncommon car to start and most RHD) which had multiple phone and in person bidders and went for $1.5M or so. But a lot of things were selling below low estimate or didn't hit reserve.

    Also impacting the RM Sotheby's auction on Saturday was the fact that the concours was switched from it's normal Sunday to Saturday because of the severe storms coming through Jacksonville area on Sunday. So a lot of folks who might have been at the auction were out at the concours.

    '. . . This beautiful 911S coupe presents much more than meets the eye. Sold new in California and passing through the hands of several enthusiast owners over the years, 300301 was extremely well-equipped from the outset and has been properly maintained throughout its life. It has enjoyed several important upgrades, including an engine enlargement to 2.7 liter displacement, which along with its Bosch mechanical fuel injection, yields an output roughly equal to that of a 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, about 210 bhp. With those additional horses and weighing less than 2400 lbs, this 911S offers comparable performance.

    Originally sold by the Mozart dealership in Palo Alto, near the Bay area, this very handsome 911S left the factory in October of 1972, wearing Light Ivory paint over a full Dark Brown leather interior. It was factory equipped with an electric sunroof, air conditioning, an auxiliary oil cooler, tinted glass, a radio installation package, clear fog lights, and Michelin tires on forged Fuchs alloy wheels, all of which drove the retail price to $12,164, a substantial increase over the base price of about $9500. It was delivered to its first lessee owner, Mr. John Keane of Mill Valley, on February 20, 1973. A comprehensive folio of registration, insurance, and maintenance records show that it was sold in 1982 to Mr. Kopel Sandler of Menlo Park, California, who had Garretson Engineering in Mountain View rebuild the motor to 2.7 specifications in February 1988. At that time the car had been driven 113,000 miles. It was subsequently sold to Mrs. Rosa Sandler of Newton, Massachusetts. In 1990, after being stored for several years, the car returned to the West coast and the ownership of Mr. Maurice Eckley of Scotts Valley. The odometer then read 117,888 miles. In December, 1993, the car was sold to Mr. Mark Fisher of Portland, Oregon, then the President of the local Porsche Club of America region. The engine was again rebuilt and the car resprayed during his ownership. The following year, health issues forced its sale to some close friends, in whose care it has remained to the present day. It has been driven a total of 142,330 miles at the time of cataloguing.

    Offered in its original color scheme and in what the consignor says is excellent running condition, this is a beautiful and very quick example of the last of Porsche's long-hood "F"-series 911s, loaded with desirable options. It is fitted with a Momo leather-wrapped sports steering wheel (the original is included) and a stainless steel muffler. Having recently undergone a thorough detailing and service, this very desirable 1973 911S is supplied with its correct spare, tool roll, jack, manuals, and supporting documentation from new, including its original window sticker, manuals, warranty book, even notations of fuel purchases. A factory-issued Certificate of Authenticity is included, as well as a cover and protective bra . . .

    Just saw this. 4 speed? lol

    As close to a lateral move from a Sporto as one can get.

    Not sure where to begin... would have pegged it at no more than 70k, especially since it doesn't have the smog pump system- apparently that's a plus now. Amazing that there are people re-doing (couldn't bring myself to stating "restoring") these cars that don't hang out here. Who doesn't know to use Eric's engine pad?


    The Pep Boys fogs complete the package.
