S prices going thru the roof!

[TRE Cup]

early 911S seem to be on fire- "everybody" wants one (or 2) and people are gobbling them up- even when there is no history and the car has body and/or mechanical problems. The black no history car with frozen motor sold for 16.1k on e bay today. Where will this end?
Maybe we'll be making S clones in the future!!

Tell me about it.

[jmz]

...been making S-clones for years. Think of how many reg 911s were re-badged with 911s over the years

[on-ramp]

how about early 69-73 911Ts.....how are these values effected?

[clevy70911T]

I'm sure they are going to sky-rocket too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Errr..............Maybe not

[Schrup]

I really like the "E" model, I hope I can get one before the also go through the roof.

It's been very tough to find a nice early S for a long time. I didn't see the ebay car in person, but it looked like a good one to take a chance on. Susposedly no rust or body issues, numbers matching, nicely optioned , with sport seats. The engine was all there w/ MFI intact. A good candidate for a rebuild and it might be a great car. With some luck a full rebuild wouldn't be necessary and you might have a bargain.

I passed up a really nice '73E last year and am still kicking myself.

[Jim Richards]

Chris, after I heard how much you could've picked that 73E up for, you should be still kicking yourself. That was a nice E.

Hopefully all early 911 prices are on the rise as well, get yours now!

[typ550]

thanks, Jim. Now you're kicking me, too.

Whats going to be the next High Value 911 series? I see the 74 Carrera has bumped up in value lately as well.

Gnaw, at Pomona they're still going for $7,500 all day long . . .

i was wondering why it ( a 1970) had '73 bumpers front and rear. The sport seats are a good bonus though
ebay S

[JCR]

Esses WERE the first clones - and they were created by the factory!

Aside from the engine, you could get every S option except the S letter on the rear decklid. Owners who re-badged just finished off the job.

The early 911 cars have been undervalued for a long time IMHO.

[epbrown]

I dunno. I love the early cars, but they're so prone to rust it seems almost irresponsible to own one where they salt the roads or have high humidity. I'd rather have a stripped and backdated SC I could enjoy instead of the real thing, being in Chicago.

Maybe, when the supply of S cars dries up even more. I agree that it's underappreciated, but they're rare in the US aren't they?

FUK Pomona!

[surflvr911sc]

Can you say 356? It wont be long before the early 911s are in the same boat. Buy them while you can!

[nostatic]

in some ways it is a shame, as these cars will go to people who will put them in garages instead of drive them. Waste of a car imho...
