The black 86 looks really nice other then the wheels. Tan interior, no rub strips 5 speed. PET says LSD, heated seats and elevated steering wheel too!
Just enough miles that you can drive it occasionally, but low enough that it is still really nice! Only bummer is it isn't an 86.5. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.

White one sold for $9,350.00 ($8,500.00 hammer price + 10% buyers premium). Don't know much about 928s but it seemed like a pretty good deal!

In keeping with the 928 auction results theme, a silver '84 automatic sold for $6750 (IIRC) at Russo and Steele auction on Thursday happening just around the corner from B-J. Got a look at the car in so-so lighting after it sold. Car was about average overall, rear cap needed a repaint, dash and pod had a dash cover on it, steering wheel had a cheap cover on it, did not get to see the motor or underneath.

I looked at the black car today and thought the body was rough. Hood didnt fit right, front spoiler was trashed and paint was not all that great. Interior was nice. New owner had placed his business cars across lower windshied with a $25K price tag!!

After being at both Barrett-Jackson and Russo and Steele auctions the last two days, I'm reminded again that by comparison to most of the cars being sold, I have an extremely rare car. It's just too bad that extremely rare doesn't always mean extremely desirable...
I guess if it were always true though, I probably wouldn't have the chance to own one of the best GT/sports cars ever made.

Prices at the BJ auction are NOT any indication of the normal "fair market value" of any collector car.
I've seen absolutely stupid prices paid for questionable cars (Amphicar going for 2-3 times market value) and some nice cars sold very reasonably. (There was a nice Packard that was a good buy this year)
BJ is a circus where they liquor up the buyers, turn on the TV cameras and seperate fools from their money. There are people who go just so they can brag to their friends that they were on TV buying a car.
It doesn't suprise me that the Charlie Sheen car ended up there. Actually it's a great place to sell something like that. The value of that car is not its condition, but the fact that it was owned & driven by the "wizard".

Barrett Jackson Scottsdale is a circus but it is still one of the premier auto events of the year. Great place to see a lot of cars but not always a great place to buy or sell one!

Actually, for muscle cars it does set the bar.

Agreed, but that doesn't invalidate the entire auction as a benchmark.

A lot less than the average Vegas casino. Only the VIP bidders get waitress service at their seats. The rest of the bidders have access to the bidder bar in the back corner of the main tent. The liquor is free but there is usually a pretty deep line (10+ people for each bartender) in the prime hours. A few years ago they also started to limit the # of drinks per bidder by using punch cards although a nice tip will usually get you around that.

Yes but less than 35% of the cars are actually on TV when the hammer drops so that doesn't invalidate the entire docket.
