So? What would original paint on the RS have been worth? Frankly, I'm getting tired of all these "price of everything, value of nothing" posts...

. . . Lot # 984 '73 Porsche 911 RS vin: 9113600507
Beautiful paint, decent interior. Average driver engine bay cosmetics. The auction description lists the 23,000 km as actual. Crack starting on the dash. Tiny rust bubbles at bottom of passenger door and top of front fender. Fresh undercoat to undercarriage. The paint code of 908 matches the Grand Prix White but on the edge of the driver's door where the paint is chipped off is Chartreuse green. To quote the auction card; "this has to be the most original RS Carrera for sale!" They might have left out some additional information. Reported sold for $97,200. If this car had original paint and records to prove the mileage I think we would have seen at least $150,000. Early 911's are incredibly hot right now and the RS is arguably the most collectible production . . .
Nothing like a Barrett-Jackson auction to get all of us riled up.
Especially one that's been dredged up from the depths of the Lorentian Abyss.
2005? C'mon...
