Very respectable ROI for the collector that bought it from Chuck.

The collector who owns this car has multiple classics and always two of them. One to drive and one to collect. Just before my move to Spain I serviced his former "daily driver" a 1981 928. The car was sold to one of my friends of the Porsche group in Munich and he gave me the collectors phone number. I was just curious what the price would be....
In 2012 he wanted about 50% of today's asking price and he was talking about offering it to Porsche in Stuttgart. So far no change the car is still in Munich and waiting for a new home.
It's a shame that this car has not been seen anywhere for many years again. If he wants to sell the car, he should take it to the annual "Stuttgart Classics" exhibition. Cars sell there for silly prices and quickly too.
But honestly what do you want with a great and unique car like this? You can't enjoy your true 928 time capsule, with every mile you put on the speedo you'll decrease the value a little.
To bad that these cars always end up in hands with silly money available and after the sale they disappear. Not to be enjoyed, or to share the passion for these automobiles. No, just to be stored away and to make more money in the future.
To bad Kermit, so close to the Autobahn and you'll never know how it feels to enjoy the A95 southbound to Garmisch Partenkirchen. You are nothing more than a frog in a golden cage, covered up, invisible ......

That's the great thing about private ownership. You can do with it exactly what you want. The old owner kept it in a bubble and never moved it. Maybe the new owner will hop in, start up, light up a big fat Cuban and drive it down the Bahn in a blinding late night snow storm at 170KPH while sipping Schnapps.
Ah - private ownership. What a way to run an economy.

IMO the best of the best for condition/mileage are the 312 mile GT or the black 85 Philly car. The black one would be my choice.

My post from 2013 seams appropriate:

We can argue all we want about bubbles, appreciation, 911's and how crappy some feel the US 16V cars are....bottom line is we are between stage 3 and 4 with the 928 and now what matters most to dictate value is ultimate rarity.
The people buying cars at this price care very little about performance, driving dynamics, daily livability, cup holders etc.... it's just an addition to their portfolio and something to show off at their concourse of choice.
It's difficult for the "normal" enthusiast to understand this world, but it exists and is why the GTO Ferrari is now worth more than some countries. It's only a matter of time before some car (most likely a Ferrari) cracks the $100 million mark.

Had this to say about car values:
I believe that very expensive cars go thru several stages before become very expensive collector cars.
(1) As said, first they are usually expensive and that said, are purchased by people with large disposable wealth or incomes...and equally disposed for the "next" thing to have or be seen in.
(2) Next owner is looking for a deal and buys at a discount...usually could not afford car new.
(3) 3rd - 4th owner is probablly someone that picks up the car relatively cheap compared to new...several years or more down the line, when it's yesterdays car for sure and not many wealthy people would care to be seen in one at their favorite restaurant, etc.
(4) Here's where it becomes interesting...if the car is truly a collector machine, wealth will find and embrace it again...once this starts to happen and it happens fast sometimes, these cars can not only rise in value, but usually when people, again with large disposable wealth, view the car as collectable, then it's at the final stage and the normal enthusiast is left with only memorys...and very little hope of owning one again.

I agree. People can do whatever they want with their cars. Believe it or not, there are ways to enjoy cars other than merely driving them all the time.

Ferry Porsche once said, that his cars supposed to be driven and enjoyed. I completely agree.
If you want to enjoy something stationary...buy yourself a bigger, nicer house (or two) at very nice locations..

So, the Shah of Iran's 1978 should be quite expensive, whenever it would be for sell one day...
