If this doesn't set the bar on early "S" prices...
 

nothing will. Ad in April 2002 Hemmings: 1972 911S coupe. 600 original miles. To be sold,(or not), at some auction in Vegas next week.

If this is a true shrink-wrapped, perfect brand-new '72 'S', anything less than the cost of a new 996 sounds fair to me. Seinfeld will probably get it. Love to know the story on this one. :cool:

It would be interesting to see Jay Leno and Mr S. get into a bidding war over it ...

If I win the lotto you can count me in on the bidding. That's my favorite 911!

To the best of my knowledge, Jay Leno is not a Porsche fan. Could be wrong, but I used to live near him and have seen countless of his cars, never saw one Porsche. Doesn't matter though, plenty of other guys w/ seven or eight figure incomes who like Porsches.

Only interesting thing here IMO is the back-story. People who buy a new expensive car and park it for 30yrs.? Even if it goes for $80G, what a lousy investment! Savings acct. would have done better. Weird.

And Bob, better win that lotto by next week!

I'm sure that car will fetch a hefty price.

Denis,

I couldn't agree with you more, but occassionally the accident happens. I found my 73"S" 15 years ago with less than 10k miles on it in a collectors garage in California surrounded by 30 other cars. The collector was an FBI agent that had been, shortly after buying the Porsche, relocated to Europe.

My car became a garage queen... not by necessity, because of the nature of where I live and work. Living and working in Manhattan really doesn't necessitate the ownership of, or need to drive a car. My car still has under 20k original miles on it!

I can only imagine what the 72 you guys are talking about will go for and I can't wait to hear the results. Seinfeld lives about a mile or so away from me in the city, so hopefully this will become his new toy... one of too many!

Regards,

Marc
