So, .... What does one think a 1 of 1 PTS Signal Yellow CGT with an edition number of "0911" would fetch?
A lot. I remember when you orig posted this. Didn't you also pay $10k or so to have your calipers painted Signal Yellow? That'll also add to the value.

Actually, it was $8,460 for "Brake Caliper Coated in Red". Two different yellows wouldn't be good and only speed yellow (std), black, silver and red were available colors.
A stunner Mike! If you do not mind me asking, what is the mileage on her?

The white car is my car, I have it listed with Isringhausen. And 1.1M is the number. If it sells great, if not I will keep it forever. I am not worried about it.
The one that had paintwork has a crash too and its in Dallas I believe. It was for sale.
However mine, which is listed, is Sand White, its the only on in north america and one of 2 in the world. The other being in Qatar I am told.
Mike, how is Signal Yellow different from Fayence?
This question seems like Eduardo bait, but I'll give it a whirl.
Fayence is closely related to Speed yellow in basic hue. Here's a shot of a Fayence paint card on a Speed car:
It's easy to see that the only difference seems to be the saturation of the hue. Put another way, Speed yellow seems like somebody started with Fayence yellow and then added some brown or grey to the mix to muddy it up a bit.
Interestingly, it was told to me by PCNA that Fayence is a close replica of Fly yellow. Fly yellow by Ferrari was the most requested Porsche PTS yellow at the time Fayence was formulated.
Now, let's look at Signal and Fayence together. Here is the same Fayence paint card on my Signal yellow 996TT:
It should be easy to see that Signal has quite a bit more orange or Fayence tends more toward green as yellows go.
Signal also has an affinity for changing its apparent hue from one part of the day to the next. In the Summer at Noon, the color looks pretty darn yellow. However, at the setting Sun, Signal takes on a very warm orangish hue that just makes the sunset seem to melt into the paint. I just love it.
One last comparison of Speed (sorry, not Fayence) vs. Signal:
I should add that the pix above were shot in 2004 (IIRC) with a Sony Digital camera and the hues that leap out of your monitor may not be the best representation of what one's eyes would remember.
wow, I just checked on autotrader and there are 9 CGT's forsale. These cars were selling in under 24hrs a few months ago.
Yeah, prices have crept up to the point where things sit a lot longer (in fact, as long as they used to at prior price points - $500k - a couple years back).
when I bought my Ford GT last year, there were only a handful for sale. When my white with blue stripe came up for sale I had to jump on it as they didn't last long on the market. 1 year later, there are 50 for sale on autotrader with nothing selling. So in the Ford GT's case after a couple of years of significant appreciation, no one is buying at the current prices (upper $200k to lower $300k).

we might be seeing the same pattern with the CGT
Yup. Such has been my experience with the Ford GT, as well.
There's soooo many on the market right now, at absurd prices (some in the $500k plus range), and they've been sitting for over 6 months, many for over a year. List prices don't set the market. Sale prices do.

This was back in late late 2013: http://www.indigoautogroup.com/web/u...Texas/3855522/ ($339k for a Black example with ~6400 miles)
