I understand that many can't seem to wrap their head around some of these sale prices. I get it, I was one of those people. My first 930 was $43k (which I thought I overpaid) with all the goodies. Heck my first 85 911 was $15k back in 95. Problem is times have changed and we must accept that. Although prices have cooled somewhat, waiting for prices to come back to pre 2011-2012 values may not happen.
I had a 66 Alfa Giulia Sprint Gt that I paid $39k for. The quality and build of the Porsche is much better. I had the Alfa for a year and sold it very well (wish I had kept it though). It's not just Porsche's with the rising value. Many classic cars are finally getting their recognition.

The spread between a busted high mile SC and the nicest one in the world is pretty tight. You can’t get a running driving coupe for under $25k but a cherry all original is only $50ish. The car in question was nothing special. A respray, refinished wheels, supposed top end refresh, recovered seats and dash, that’s about it for close to the top of the market price.
