And who knows if these 911s will start bringing what some other classic cars are bringing. I don't understand why a nice 911SC is worth less than a 1970 Chevy Camaro. Maybe the 911s will catch up in years to come.

Looks like a really nice car with a lot of potential. If it were me, given the low miles and price range, I would take care of the little things now and do whatever I could to make the car "perfect" with no stories or excuses. I would re-list it at the current price and have complete service records and recent leak - down numbers ready for review. The service records will help answer the "low mileage" concerns.

Good luck with your sale.

I'll predict that we're going to see an increase in values on SC's and 3.2's in the decades ahead. These SC and 3.2's are still just older used performance cars right now. The people that grew up with them while teenagers haven't hit their peak earning years and are not old enough to want to relive their younger years.

I think that the muscle car phase has been fueled by weathly executives/business owners/etc. that wish to have the car they had (or lusted after) back in high school. Very nice examples are hard to find, so the supply and demand curves come into effect. Demand exceeds supply, so prices go up.

Once these SC's and 3.2's (and owners!) get older, we'll see very nice examples jump up to where the long hoods are going now.

10 years ago, long hood cars would just sit around like other 911's. You could pick up a nice "T" for 10 or 12 grand, maybe less at times. A good "S" was $15,000, maybe $20k for a really nice one. Granted, these long hood cars drive so much more raw in feel than SC's and 3.2's, but as time passes and Porsche continues to dial out the sounds and feel of the 911 in favor of coddling the new car owner, the SC's and 3.2's will feel really raw to people who have never driven an air cooled 911...and pricing will increase due to people really liking that feel.

Certain '70 911's are worth more than 1970 Camaros!

However, we might all be buring ethanol in a few decades and we might not be able to just fill up our '82 SC at the corner gas station in the year 2019...

Just to pull this post a bit more On Topic, I think this '85 in question is priced right if the small issues are addressed (get fresh, matching rubber on the car and a good detail done). It's really hard to find nice 3.2's and the good ones with low mileage are worth the premium.

Just my $.02.

probably because all of the chevy Cameros fell apart ... not many left makes them rare ..

Just to reiterate here. I recently bought a 1989 3.2 Coupe Silver Anniversary. The car had 13,313 miles on it. Never- ever been in salt and for that matter I don't think it has ever been wet.

Car is just about as new as it can be for an 18 year old car. It runs great and feels tight. Anyway...I gave $27,900 for it and have not looked back at all.

David, you bought a car that you did not have to do one thing to. It was a special edition with very low miliege and if you wanted, you could put it away and probably make a good return on your investment in the future. You will not find another car like yours.

David,

I remember your car and the pictures.....you got an amazing deal on a beautiful limited production car. I was telling someone about it just the other day.

You did good!

Beautiful car. Has the same interior color as mine as well.
A car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If it were me though I would keep the car if its that great.
