that's 1300 miles per owner! Did these cup cars come with ROW lowered suspension?

Awesome machine. Still has the Andial seals on the engine too. This car is through depreciating folks. You could buy a new car and watch it's value melt away, or this one and watch it's value climb. It's also much more exhilirating to drive than any 996. I have mine for track only and really it's tempting to buy one like this for the street especially since its 92020 and I own 92021. The only street legal RS ever imported ( by Porshe ) to the US. This is what the RSA should have been.

Is a pristine Cup Car with such low miles realistically priced at $70,000 ?? I realized they went for a hefty premium, but hadnt expected it to be so high!

typically they are in the 70Kish range - so it's reasonably priced for the current market.
However they Center console is worrying (they used a stock one - not the Alum plate featured in the ebay listing) also the seats are either the RS seats or more likely USA 94 speedster seats - the stock ones are the normal 1/2 leather items (the cheapest ones btw)

it has it's engine seal in place and the above items are really minor and easily corrected.

They seem to be comming out of the wood work lately.
the first auction ended - no-sale
i doupt ebay is a very good place to sell these cars but that is my 2 cents.

The first auction included a bunch of race parts with the car (from the failed 92 US series) as well as some other modifications (the center console, etc). This was plaque #92020 and was a one of the 25 race cars that were subsiquently reconverted back to street specs. it was orignally delivered by Lakeforest Sportscars, Il.
Neat car

The second car has a modern looking cage and the 18"s look like the Turbo 3.6 wheels (i.e. 10" in the rear instead of the correct 9.5"s This was not a converted race car - but rather a "port" car that never left the PPI center until after the series was canceled.
I don't know where 585 was delivered orignally, but do know who the first owner was. Trying to fill in the gaps on this one

I think the first (557) car was withdrawn from eBay by the seller before auction ended.

I spoke with the seller during the auction and he indicated the reserve price was rigth at the "buy it now" price.
after I saw it removed from e-bay, I called again and was told the car was sold.
