I see there's a 924 going up for auction this month. It'll be interesting to see what they get for it.

Looks nice! It'd look better without the big side-markers.

Yeah, thats the only one in our series. It said the interior was not redone. Thats why I said it'll be interesting. I know some cars on this site would make that 1 look tired even with the new paint.

I posted this in OT a few weeks back- My guess it'll fetch 5-6 grand.

i say 2-3 max. that car goes up for sale during the bathroom breaks. remember barrett is a no reserve auction so you could possibly get it for $500, which if you do may be too much for a pre zinc 924.

Agreed. Although even if the car was galvanized, the ad states it was taken down to the bare metal for the respray. Zinc would go bye-bye.

I doubt we even see that car on TV. It's really only cool and noteworthy to a bunch of geeks like us.

i hate the side markers on 924's. i can let the no-hips slide, i can let the no-wing slide, i can let the wheels slide.

but the side markers seriously look like they were pulled from auto zone.

absolutely.

terrible.



IMO.


edit- here's an item i would bid for if i had any kind of money.

Speaking of Barrett Jackson, I know a guy who will be bidding on this: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/event....asp?id=182937

That's not even counting the $350 registration fee just to see the car and bid on it.

Anyone who pays that kind of money to get inside is probably not going to be bidding on a 924, or if they do, it will be an afterthought for their distant nephew after they've bought the vintage Ferrari they were after.

Kind of makes me wonder what the seller of that car was thinking.

Juan, we're brown, we can hotwire that in 5 seconds flat!! That is a sexy beast of a car.

Anyone else notice in the "repaint" they put teh wrong sidemarkers on the rear.. they are supposed to be red, no?

You might be suprised. I've been to many auctions where "lessar" sports cars (Mondial Ferrari's, 944's etc..) go for big money. Why? They are bidding for thousands less than most other cars at the auction and seam like a deal. Auctions are weird like that, people get itchy to buy something. A few cars go buy for 50-60k or more, then all of a sudden a Porsche with an opening bid of $5k seams like a real deal. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but last year a couple of 928's went for more money than the average market 928 was selling for at the time.

thats why i think i am going to put my firebird on ebay during the week of barrett. someone will see a yenko or copo go across the block and bid the 20k i want for my firebird.

i read somewhere that nobody really overpays at an auction. the most you can ever overpay is one bid increment.

Friendan

I disagree with you. The cars we see on TV going for over 100k are only a certain number of the cars available. The Barrett Jackson only has the finest example cars, so if there was one classic car I really wanted and I was looking for a good example of it, even if the car was worth under 10k, I would definitely pay $350 to bid on it.

951obsession, I totally agree with you about the sidemarkers. Awful. The euro model 924's look soooo much better.

bleucamaro, that bus is AWESOME! That would be a cool thing to own...
