I can so relate to this... Having owned them, a 356 is $15K, an SC is 15-20K, a 993 is $35.... and on and on... I understand market value, inflation, people are free to do whatever, but as ex-owners we all have a price/fun curve and those cars jumped it long ago IF you owned one back in the day. Cost of nostalgia I guess...
There's no scenario where an SC is worth 50k to me, forget 100K. Having owned one for 20y, I told as much to a friend who was in the Market "they're nice and unkillable but a bit agricultural, you are expecting too much".. He bought one sight unseen in the 60s and sold it a month later, totally disappointed how rough the 915 was and how slow the car is nowadays.. LOL..
BAT is great to sell, not buy... That said, anyone got a project 356 for me ? ;-) It's not economical but it's the only way I can go on a diet, a project ;-)
