1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet M491 Euro VIN: WP0ZZZ91ZGS151064 - CLASSIC.COM
https://www.classic.com/veh/1986-por...51064-pPmGwB4/

5 sales since Aug. '20, including BaT & PCar.

 

So this car has been converted to a rare coin or collectible you don't drive or use.

 

Anyone else see this sale today? 162K. Are these cars getting too valuable to enjoy?

I have made the decision to insure mine properly and drive it regularly.

I saw it. Pretty amazing. Is a targa worth more than a cab?

Worth clicking just to read the well done write up.

Would those rims be OE?

 

I'm sure many of y'all have seen this result. Bit of a special situation as this result effects the market. $295k hammer price / $329.5k with buyer's premium.

Imagine if it had been a G50?!

Made it as high as $142k / $147k with buyer's premium.

 

You should take over the TLR ;-)

 

I thought that was a pretty strong number.

 

Anyone know if the owner of today's BAT 491/470 is here on Rennlist or Insta?

 

​​​​Given all the recent m491 market activity, this thread has been surprisingly quiet. Despite market softening, it certainly seems as if M491s for sale have come out of the BaT & PCar woodwork of late.

I acquired that GP White 1987 491/470. I have been driving it and working on it a bit (paint correction, cleaned H5 headlights, Antigravity Li-Ion battery, white center Fuchs swap, seat swap, oil service, trans fluid service, black ceramic coated Monty muffler, etc.). A set of black center Fuchs and black leather factory sport seats will eventually be installed.

The car will be on the judged field at Werks Reunion Monterey this Friday 8/16. Likewise, it will be at the BaT Laguna Seca Alumni gathering on Saturday 8/17. Hit me up (either via IG or RL DM) if you want to catch-up / see the car, etc.

Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a M491. I was the high bidder on the last one to come up on BaT, but didn't make a deal afterwards with the dealer.

I've been following these for years and wish I pulled the trigger on one years ago, but kids came into the picture. Now my boys are into cars and PCA events so the timing is better

Still searching, let me know if you are thinking about selling or have any other avenues to locate them. Thanks!
