This Seller's schtick . . .

. . . This is a very straight and solid European specification, matching numbers, early 911S that needs nothing to be driven regularly. The undercarriage is straight and the car drives beautifully. Other than a recent re-paint in the original silver and very desirable, re-upholstered, original equipment sport seats, this car has never been restored, hit or damaged by rust. This is a truly amazing car that has been taken care of to the highest standards.

We operate a busy classic car repair and restoration shop in Vergennes, Vermont that specializes in high end European sports cars such as Ferraris, Porsche and Jaguar. We overhaul about a dozen engines a year from Ferrari and Lamborghini V-12's, Jaguar 6 cylinder, and Air Cooled Porsche engines among others. We are known and respected throughout the Ferrari world. You can see the other cars in our inventory and the caliber of cars that we spend time with at Restoration & Performance Motorcars (www.rpmvt.com).

If you do an online search for "FerrariCraft" or "Restoration & Performance Motorcars" in Vergennes, VT, you will see some of the other cars that we have for sale and the services we offer. You can see these restorations and others including Bentley, Porsche, Maserati, Osca, and Ferrari 166, 212, 250, 275, and 330 cars at our workshop blog (www.ferraricraft.com).

We have a enclosed two-car transporter that travels around the North East frequently, so we can help deliver the car to you. Or we can work with one of our other long distance haulers to get the car out west or down south. We have extensive experience importing and exporting cars from Europe and Canada and can assist in forwarding the car to foreign countries . . .

This car sold at Mecum this year for $95k hammer unless I am mistaking the vin. I saw who bought it, a dealer. It was a good car but absolutely had some rust repair.

Yep. Mecum Monterey.

Wow! Mecum Monterey sure was the place for flippers to shop for inventory. I think almost every early 911 sold at that auction has ended up back on the market by third-tier dealers with a very hefty markup. Overheated market? Nah.

I know I've said it before, but most people in the business will tell you that you make money when you buy a car, not when you sell it. What does it tell you when dealers/flippers like Schmidt are buying these cars at the largest and most publicized collector car event in the world?
