I'm not much of a SWB guy, but can someone explain to me how a decent, nice looking, apparently well sorted 67S like this only garners $32K in bids, when POS rust buckets that haven't been started in years that are in need of $50K worth of resto work bring more money?

Someone please enlighten me.

Maybe things like engine pushed out to 2.7; hassle things like wrong color seats; wrong wheels ; change of color etc. When almost every area needs to be put back to orignal ; it means work and finding parts and more money to do the changes
It does not "have" to be put back to original. A black 67S--full resto needed, apart car--went on ebay recently for US$30k....needing absolutely everything in the worst way. This ivory car looks fairly decent, with minimal maintenance necessary, let alone resto. Only $2k+ more and you have a nice hotrod matching # 67S vs. a total resto basket case......ummm.....yeah...

Peter, I think that is probably a fraudulent ebay listing. I recall seeing this car for sale recently on ebay. The new seller has zero feedback and lists an $8,400 "selling price" in the body of the ad to lure prospective buyers in.
JP...Many times on ebay, sellers have shadow bidders drive the price of their products up. This was obviously one of those instances. We ( the porsche pulic) never hear the end of these stories ( auctions). I would like to make a very educated assumption this sale never came to fruition...

Just because bidding ends at $32 doesn't mean that is what the car will sell for.
The seller is looking for $48,000. He seems a bit optimistic, but in this market crazier things have happened. How about the 66 911 normale bid to $55k?!
I actually like the idea of a 2.7 in a SWB...
Also remember that on Ebay, when a reserve is not met, the last bid is NOT the number you are seeing. The number shown on 'reserve not met' auctions is significantly less than the last bid. My guess is the bidding got into the low-mid $40Ks with a reserve at the aformentioned $48K, which is in line with the number on the auction.

Hey Curt,
Actually the auction on the basket case I was referring to did come to fruition. The buyer was from the UK and has since posted here a few times defending his position on making the acquisition. It was the black (faded to rust) 67S that went for somewhere over $30K.
I would have thought the white car with a recently fresh rebuild, and a PO that seemed to take care of whatever items were in need of attention, would have been far more attractive regardless of incorrect color seats, a bumped out motor, and other unimportant nonsense.
