I guess what I'm starting to see are the collectors that typically like the muscle cars are starting to buy early 911's without really much interest them as cars.

Last tuesday night a friend of mine who's been trading cars for a living came buy for a visit. He's made quite a bit of money recently subdividing a farm he recieved as an inheritance. He has bought, he claims, a certified, '75 930. The car had the plad interior and I think a green paint job with a strip down the side similar to the martini cars. The thing was heavily modified in the engine department. He also mentioned that he recently bought a 72 911T that was an "absolute sewing machine" of a car. This was mentioned along with a couple of street type drag cars, etc.

My point is that when I see folks like this buying cars on speculation, I start to see the market rising. These guys don't know much or care much for the car if they are visiting me after they buy it!

I would say at this point in time the market is going up.
