I watched it auction and there was no mention of repaints or questionable odometer. Too low a mileage actually may not be good for the car. It looks sweet. But, as we all know; buying a used car can be, "Risky Business".

That color really did need a marketing boost. What a commentary on the state of our economics and culture. Some "Not a real Porsche" purists may be pausing to reflect a bit today.
Of course everyone saw what the other sharks sold for there over the past couple of days. Pretty anemic in my view. This car is only a data point for celebrity vehicles, which is where BJ shines. I do think it will elevate our cars more in the eyes of the rest of the Porsche world and beyond, and we should have long ago moved up from D investment grade in SCM data base, but I don’t see it moving up that much in grade, if at all.
And you guys panned me for saying that a 928 would sell for seven figures in the next 10 years only about six months ago.
With the Federal Reserve printing dollars without regard for the consequences, and every other central bank on earth competing to keep their currency debased, I say buy hard assets! Dollars, Yen, Euros etc are trash! Classic cars are solid gold as investments right now.
Rebecca De Mornay's mood swings are terrific in this flick!
Come hither
"Hey Guido"
Classic flick!

Bernanke only had a helicopter, Powell has a C-5M.
I think I see where you're going here... 50K for the car and 1.75M for the passenger seat?
Didn't see that coming! I know the owner/seller and I'm sure he is pleased w/the outcome. He didn't want to sell it, but knew the timing was right and a great opportunity w/BJ. They estimated for him it would sell for $300K.
I can't help but wonder had this car been auctioned at RM or Gooding that the true history would have been sussed out. Even eagle eyes on BaT would have brought it into reality. The choice of using BJ in Houston was a very cleaver. True the world is awash with spendable cash but I don't think that this the sole reason it went where it went.

Movie / celebrity cars are always a crap shoot. I'm still shocked the Bullitt Mustang only sold for $3.74 million but that was January 2020.
2013 one of the Batmobiles sold for $4.6 million
2018 Ferris Bueller "Ferrari" sold for $407,000
2020 "Christine" Plymouth sold for $285,000
2010 Goldfinger DB-5 sold for $4.6 million
2007 A General Lee Charger sold for $9.9 million and it wasn't even from the original TV show
2011 One of the remaining 3 DeLoreans from Back To The Future sold for $541,000 and the proceeds went to the Michal J Fox Foundation, no doubt this would sell for significantly more today
2021 January the Supra from Fast & Furious sold for $550,000
"Eleanor" has sold from $800k - $1 million, not sure which car is which. Years ago a replica went for stupid money.
