Trying to make sense out of how the "market" values old cars is like predicting the rise and fall of pet rocks. What is deemed "cool" by the current in-crowd is typically not based on anything tangible such as rarity or performance (if that were the case a V-8 Vega would be worth $100k). Back in 1995 I could not give away my freshly restored '73 MFI 911T. It was deemed an ugly under powered old car that no one wanted. I remember thinking why are these cars expensive, there is nothing to them. And now sudden they become valuable ???? The M491 is a real head scratcher to me, a turbo with no turbo engine that is as valuable as a real turbo? That's just stupid.
