Realizing that one sale does not make a trend, the price and activity on this car makes you wonder about the WB Thread. There it seems that a rising tide does not lift all boats and that NB, cab or tip pricing will not follow this trend.

I find the narrow body coupe to be the most desirable of all the examples. I know the wide body cars cost more and are more rare, but to my eye the narrow body cars just have better proportion, especially when set at the right height with a proper offset and alignment.

Not so fast my friend! https://www.ebay.com/itm/35351241228...p2047675.l2557

I'm biased but if someone wanted/needed a nice tip - for whatever reason - they are pretty hard to find. Just sayin

Agree 100%. I’ve always felt the WB cars were too hippy and out of proportion.

Now, this one..., I do think it's quite a bit ahead of its time. $84k all in for a 85k odo NB. 911r has to be popping the Dom Perignon...

Doesn't really matter cause I don't ever see me selling it.
Arctic > Polar. A nice silver vs. one that looks... blue.

IMHO

Makes me feel better about the 1997 C2 manual coupe I bought this year. $78,000 and 87,000 miles. Too bad Hagerty says it’s worth $48K.

Nice to see 993 values going up but now insurance is on my mind. Hagerty on-line quote was 2k per year for $90k value.

All of these cars are going up. With more and more electric, and sophistication coming in, the "primitive" 993 looks pretty amazing and the body style is really holding up.
I get stopped at least once a week with "what year is that Porsche?" question and when they hear it's 25+ years old, people can't believe it. So fun!

911r has a great reputation on BAT. His cars usually command atleast 10% more
