good luck I think prices will sky rocket after one very low mileage car sold at auction for $70k a month ago I think people will hold on a little longer to see how they swing

I think he is looking for a garage queen with well under 50k miles so a condition 1 is a must

I would prefer something with less than 50k miles and not modified. Gray, blue, silver and black would be firts choices.

The under 50K puts mine out of play, but it is the ONLY

Way too many upgrades on mine. Not sure why anybody would pay that kind of money for a stock one even if it were near new, unless purely as an investment. As an investment a 993 is a much better choice.

I know how you feel I looked for mine 4 years it was the same way for my 1988 e30 m3 I knew I needed to find a low mileage example because that is the hardest to find
wish I waited on my search for an m3 it cost me big!!! to get right

The best car I have ever seen would be crazy Eddie's, they weren't that nice on the showroom floor, hell he might even sell for $70K.

It is modded though. Still don't understand wanting an unmolested car. It is almost a necessity to mod these cars to get them right. Even a low mileage garage kept example will still need almost every piece of 25+ year old rubber replaced to be safe. Sitting idle for long periods of time are sometimes worse than actually driving the car. With six cars I experience that all the time.

considering what you'll pay (purchase for rare garage queen + likely/endless high-cost service issues during next 100 k miles)

vs performance: why??

The engine is amazing and it sounds terrific.
The handling is also amazing.
Great track day at Monticello.

Vette assembly in Kentucky... (hopefully, quality issues being reported from early production will be sorted soon).
