You are right. Not only did I overstate concourse condition I missed spelled it too. What I should have said is a well kept car with a high level of originality. Concourse is an overstated and often misused word.

I would like to know what Bill Noon paid for the very low mileage 69S he recently purchased. I believe it was rumored to be in the $75k area. Then there was the cobbled together 1966 sold at BJ for $66k+ fee. In reality, I do not think either car represents the market any more than a "barn find". They are both examples IMO that fall outside of the statistical curve of the marketplace. One represents an insider transaction and the other...well I can't exactly put my finger on the pulse of BJ.
The knowledgeable opinion of the 26k mile T is that it is overpriced for the market. This does not mean someone with the means will not purchase it. To them the price might be inconsequential. I do wonder how many Ts traded above the 30k mark this year. If you use EBay as a barometer not many. The very nice cars appear to peter out in the high 20s. A very nice car from the NW P-community sold two week for $24k. There is an excellent summary thread on the Early 911S board.

As far as bottom end cars they pass through this board or Ebay periodically. Many are priced very inexpensively. Again, you are right many times they are worth more as parts.

Lastly, what does with all due respect really mean?
