Another PCAR auction. Strong bidding on this one already with its rare diamond blue metallic color and tasteful mods although not a fan at all of the carpeting choice. https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/1...964-carrera-4/

Apparently this car was owned by Rudy at one time. Nothing original about it. Carpet, interior and paint all redone. The HP numbers are bogus and no way you will see that from what was done. A number of things I have to question but not much is hotter than a clean 964 coupe these days especially in a unique and nice color.

Wow, that's wild. Can't believe it sold for that much but I guess that's just a sign of the times.
Always think I should have bought 2 back in 2013 when I bought mine and sold the other- but that's 20/20 clarity that I didn't have back then!

I spent an hour viewing this car last weekend before bidding turned ludicrous. High bid was at $75K at the time and I figured to take a look and potentially make a run at it due to familiarity of the owner, the shop that did the work, specifically the mechanic, and proximity to me. Car was less than a mile away from me. The color is everything on this car, the details on all the modified items and the overall cleanliness of how things were done is more than up to par. Carpet color and others are a matter of taste. Shifting is flawless and engine bay as clean as a new whistle as well as all new gap rubber that at one point was also replaced. The wheels were impeccable too. I can see why anyone would have wanted the car, myself included, just not anywhere near the price it trended upward to and ultimately sold at. Of course I can speak from a strong position of already owning a unique 964. If I still were in the hunt I probably would have been more motivated. Auction ending was very entertaining. Good for the seller and the new owner who I think is a member in here too @cjhooper only wish him many more miles with smiles with this example. Onto the next....

the other piece that no one has mentioned here is the value of what I consider my most valuable asset - time. This car took 2-3 years to complete? New owner gets to enjoy right now. I know I’m in the minority with this opinion as most of these cars trade at a discount to what they actually cost to do but there are clearly people out there who are willing to pay up for something done, right here right now. Same applies for real estate, buy a fixer upper and spend 3 years doing the work and you’ll be less out of pocket but will have needed another place to live during that time. Or pay up and move in tomorrow. Not saying either is right in general, but personal to each individual. Congrats to cjhooper for a car he is going to enjoy!
