$76,100 for those who are keeping score (as pointed out by "491470" above). I'm thinking that there are a couple of VERY disappointed bidders out there.

Did you see that the other active bidder at the end stated he had a case of fat fingers and hit the wrong key at the buzzer. Could have easily gone 3-5k higher.

I spent some time with your car. The documentation / photo albums alone were worth it! ;-) Insanely good stuff. The car has (had) an alarm. Did you remove it?
While the 470 option is rare (my 491 1988 cab is also a 470), I don't think it appreciably affects values either way. People comment on liking it / the further rarity, but I don't think it sways legitimate buyers either way. Most 491 devotees are fans because of the turbo look. As a result, I'd be willing to bet that most want the spoilers and wings. But hey, part of what I love about the 491 cars is the ability to go tea tray, duck or tail-less. People seem to be 50/50 on whether they like tails on the narrow body cars. I think more 491 people like / want spoilers.
Ohtsquared,
Are you still looking? I've followed the market for a long time and I have some definite theories as a result of all the cars I've looked at that have been for sale and others that I have been able to get transaction prices on. Let me know if you ever want to talk.
The BAT sunroof delete coupe was compelling. I was going to fly out and inspect it, but couldn't get away that week. I considered bidding, but I prefer the later cars due to their host of updates (and not just for their G50s, although that's a biggie for me).
I'm loving my cab, but I am always on the lookout for a 491 G50 coupe stablemate ... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...491-911-a.html Hell, I may add a 491 G50 targa to the stable to complete the trifecta at some point. Then wait for that lotto hit to build a bigger garage and introduce an '89 Speedster to the mix.
sjgreco, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was jealous of your recent find. Nice job. Any shots of the interior you can share?
I spend most of my time on PP as there seems to be more 491 content there, but do keep the dialog going here. I can't get enough of G body 491s.

No kidding. Call the police. Rob, that was a buy of a lifetime, maybe two lifetimes, especially given how much joy you're deriving from it. Given your market timing & appreciation, that's a TON of free units of pleasure right there. As you know, I pined over your car's for sale post over the years.

Frank- I added white center Fuchs redone at Weidman Wheels finished last week, mounted with Michelins, supposed to be period correct as original equipment, and a black OEM turbo S steering wheel to tone down the interior a little.

My customer, that makes tools for the engine rebuild business, has been offered $60,000/mo to rent their back lot of maybe 1 acre.
He says that six building on his street are all being fitted with indoor grow lighting and air conditioning. If that front yard of yours was in Adelanto you'd be set for life.

Was in Adelanto today to see a customer. He said he's in "the green zone" for canibus
