Curt, I think you made a good point here. Prices rise & fall on collectable cars as much on emotions as they do on market & speculators. Part of the demand is guys who were too broke as teens to own that dream duece coupe, '57 Caddy Eldorado, '57 fuel injected 'Vette, you name it. Any "car guy" has his older dream car. But, when that generation gets too old, or to infirm, to enjoy the "dream", even though they now have more than enough money to buy and enjoy the car? Well...these people realize that the "dream car" isn't really all that important anymore. One of my list of "dream cars" is a birdcage Maserati. Usually a dream car of guys a decade older than I. Want to track prices? As these guys die off, or become infirm, my guess is you'll see the price on this car decline...but suddenly, with this auction, I've come to the realization that the early 911S, like it or not, has become one of the "collectable cars"...
