No friends and/or family, just a very nice older PCA couple that couldn't drive the car any longer. He had had a stroke and had lost quite a bit of his sight. I detailed the car to remove some hard water marks, but other than that it was in absolutely immaculate condition. I wasn't looking for another 911 when the opportunity presented itself, but I absolutely *love* the car. It's up on jack stands as we speak (type?), going to do a full hydraulic bleed tonight and replace the >10 year old tires that I know won't last much longer despite how new they look. Bringing it to the Chico Concourse d'Elegance this weekend and my wife and I are going to have to fight over who gets to drive this one. I suspect that I don't stand much chance.
Clearly the older PCA folks were pleased it would go to "enthusiasts", and were willing to pass on such a treasure without pushing the market price limits.
Sounds like they just wanted to see their treasure move onto to a good family that will take it out & show it, drive it, enjoy it, and maintain it as it so deserves.
......
..... & I'm gonna say this anyway (even tho so many folks think the color is passe'). I LOVE the color.
My favorite since I was a kid & I never gave up on Indischrot/Guards Red.

On a recent PCA tour in northern CA
Wow that is a great price.
Maybe that is a reflection of where the market is headed.
I wonder if like in real estate we can use this as the current comparable market value to negotiate with.
Even though I currently own a 964 I hope the market values fall as I have no intentions of selling therefore market values have no impact on me except to hopefully decrease my insurance rates.

I am considering selling my 93 RS America and am having some difficulty keeping up with the air cooled market. I bought the car about 10 years ago after viewing it on the RSA website. It has been a track car from day 1, but very well maintained. No AC, no sunroof, and was ordered with no radio (though a previous owner did put one in that does not function). It just turned 80,000 miles and has the usual track updates (adjustable suspension, cage, RSR wing, Cup clutch/flywheel, Big Reds with floating hats, etc). It hit the wall at Watkins Glen before my time (I have pictures of repair to back panel and quarter) but retains a clean title.
My question is what is a fair market value to list the car at? I've spoken with some Boston area private sports car dealers that I used to work with and they had little to say as they only deal with the stock ones. Thank you for any feedback.
