964 Prices
#2881
Looked over the Amazon Green car and looks like a great example. Going off mainly the BaT listing as the car looks basically the same as it does on Hemmings. If I were in the market for a C2 would be on this one. Think if the car is what I think it is it’s worth the ask as good examples are hard to come by and it’s worth paying up for a good sorted one. Also found this listing when Nathan Merz sold it previously.

Gotta disagree on the fair price part though. It sold during the market peak for 136k, I can’t see any reason that in a market which has dropped by at least 10-15%, it would rate a 20% increase in value. Amazon green is a great color but it isn’t all that rare compared to other non-boring ones and the mileage isn’t collector mileage either at 61k miles. IMO this is probably worth about what they paid for it 135-140k and that is only because it’s Amazon green.

it does seem to be a good one and if it’s in the same condition (or close to) when Nathan sold it, then it should be solid.

Sold Feb 22. Prices still seemed to climb for a year after that and even now it seems less like the prices have dipped and more like fewer going for sale. Most owners just sit on the cars instead of taking a loss.
anyway - pretty car.

All I can say is this is a twin to my car optioned identically and same miles, although mine is a 93. I guess chopping the roof off and changing the interior to black wasn't a wise choice but too late now and I prefer the black interior. I already have an Amazon Cashmere car so 2 was too much.
If Nathan felt this was a worthy car I must assume all things being the same it is worth every penny if not more these days. I haven't seen a no stories coupe in quite some time both private and auction sale. Very few trade hands these days and hopefully most will keep them or prices will shy them away from the chopping block. We need to start a go fund me page for the endangered 964 coupe which will soon become a thing of the past at this rate.
BTW Amazon is a great color when maintained properly one of my favorites. They did paint a good number in Amazon and most had Cashmere interior. But very few this nice.

So what does eveyone think of the Summer Yellow Cab to Coupe hammering at $70K? I think that bodes well for those of us with coupes.

Considering that they used a roof from a Gbody which is constructed differently than a 964 I would say we are OK. At $73,500 all in this is what decent coupes were selling for pre covid.

I was thinking that it makes our true coupes worth more. I didn't think that car would bring that much since no matter how well it was done, it's still not a factory coupe.
Is the only difference the little vents just above the rear window?

As I recall the 964 used different alloys and there is an additional front brace just behind the windshield along the sides below the rails and down the back window making it far stiffer and sturdier in a roll over or crash. The reasoning for some of the added weight to the 964. They did a nice job installing it but they used the wrong parts IMO. It would have cost considerably more to do it properly using 964 parts. I also didn't get a feel if they had removed the headliner or not. That in itself is a ton of work and difficult to get right.

I think it might have even been a good deal. It's absolutely not a collector but it shows what we've been talking about for a while. There's a lot of value in having a car like this that you can actually drive somewhat guilt-free. So you have collector cars on one side and hotrods+drivers on the other - both of them worth money for different reasons and appeal to different buyers - which there seems to be plenty of. I don't think you can say that drivers quality cars and low-mile collector cars are on opposite ends of a scale - it's more like there are just 2 different scales

Targa’s I think are under appreciated. Some tend to forget there was even a Targa during the 964 generation. Not a lot made and it’s the last to use the traditional Targa bar up until the 991 brought it back. On the newer models this version has been quite desirable.

Targas are coming into their own now it seems. I am super surprised you don't see many hardtop conversions as it seems to be the way to go. There's also the Strosek? (maybe) hardtop that looked decent and transforms the car. You do see a bunch of hardtop conversions to verts, but that's just odd.

So true. Although I have several friends with 964 targas, one is now a singer. Sadly many targas seem to be tip with far fewer made than the coupes and cabs. I had an early 90 which is quite rare with the old SS roll bar and vents still. Another I should have kept.
