How does a car auctioned without reserve go unsold?

Exactly what I thought. Glad I got in when I did. You have to wonder how long these prices can continue to climb.

what I read and hear others is that early 911s (and especially 'S'es) are expected to trend right along with RSs.

I listened in at RM Action in Scottsdale while 3 guys were chatting about this very topic. All were collectors of one sort or another.(mostly Ferraris) Their conclusion was that a great early S should be no less than 50% less expensive vs a 73 RS. RS prices range from $350k (for a needy car) to $500k+

Louie, that would be great. Not that I have any intention on selling. I just hope to not get so worried about value that I worry about driving the heck out of it.

'. . . This fine example, chassis number 0738, which can arguably be considered to be one of the best of the best, was delivered new from Zuffenhausen factory in 1973. It's one of only 1430 911S built in 1973 model year. Only about 10% of these cars were special ordered with factory sunroof as it was an expensive option at $400 above and beyond the base price.

It is believed that the first owner a resident of Southern California, kept the car until the late 1990s, when renowned Porsche authority Bill Perrone of Huntington Beach, California, acquire the car. The car is said to have been in very original condition at the time, still with its original interior in place and most of its original paint intact. Mr. Perrone kept the car until 2004. A Southern California enthusiast with a taste for great Porsches acquired the 911 from Perrone and did a concour restoration with help from many experts including Porsche specialist TLG in North Hollywood, and the interior was installed by Autobahn Interior of San Diego. The entire car was disassembled and restored to 100 point Concour condition, multiple award winner & is one of the finest 1973 911 S that can be found!

I love that green interior, was that the original color?

Nope I don't think so.... But it was an option.....

This is Will Sanchez's old car...
He won his class at Palos Verde, and, I think, at San Marino as well a few years ago...

A very nice car...
