Have you been to a 356 Registry gathering lately?

Haha very true. Awesome cars but man those custodians will not be around much longer. Does make we wonder about the values of those cars once the current ownership wave expires and if later generations will fill all of those vacancies. I have a good friend in the 356 Registry (one of the few in his early 40's) and they even seem concerned about getting younger people engaged.

Default pcar prices crazy?

I couldn't get more than $9500 for my '86 black/black 911 targa in 2010 in Atlanta. It seems like everywhere I look, the prices of Pcars have gone through the roof. Did everyone suddenly get rich? Are these cars selling at these prices? What happened? I know there will always be some mint examples or cars that will command a higher price, but for a decent condition drivable 911 40k+? I was looking at 912s last night and the prices on those are sky high. It wasn't long ago, you could pick up a decent 912 for 6k in the Atlanta area.

Just read through this thread - https://rennlist.com/forums/911-foru...ed-bubble.html

Between that and several other threads, surely we don't need another one on the subject.

The prices have skyrocketed. But then again, so have the prices of new cars.

Repair costs have also skyrocketed lol.
Some buyers fail to think of this when buying these old relics.

I....for one, think $9500 for decent driving 911 was perhaps just as crazy than the $40k you are thinking it would be worth today and that's why I bought my 85 8 years ago. Even then though, I paid double your $9500 for it. Cheers

I'm really getting tired of rich guys and tax dodges.

I've just about given up on the Monterey auctions. Maybe.

I have to see if I can actually save money be putting my cars in a non-profit educational foundation. Then maybe I'll buy another car. Maybe.

Those old cars are not worth that much. They're antiques. That said, they're not going down in price, so my advise is buy now!

I've read both the Hagerty and Le Monde reports on Monterey. It's going to be a buyer's market for the next few years.

First though the sellers have to become connected with reality. That may take a while.

With the only real difference being a manual steering rack in the RSA, the premium is totally unwarranted in my opinion. FWIW I've owned a RSA (paid $19k for it) and now own a MY93 C2 manual coupe.
+1 it's such a fake RS much like the USA 2.7 Carreras and E36 M3's. However I'm intrigued with the manual rack. Did u prefer it over power steering in your C2 ?

I love manuals steering but I've heard a few RSA racers actually replaced their manuals with a power rack cuz it has a quicker ratio and can max out th caster more with less effort

Yes same here.. Porsche in the USA were such dentist cars in the 80's and 90's where it was nearly impossible to find lighter driver cars cars with minimal options. 3.2 club sport being an rare exception
