The $120K is insane and you do not convince me one bit. I also don't believe that 3.2 cars have doubled...since a nice low-mileage, G50 '89 Carrera like mine with perfect paint and interior was going for $25K a few years ago and there is no way anyone would pay me $50K ....but that is just me.
I don't believe any US '74s are actually selling for $120K.

The market has moved quickly. G50 3.2 cars, if they are nice, are indeed selling over $40k. Not quite double, yet. If you go back and look at the For Sale forum for the last year and a half what the mid-year Carrera asking prices have been. A couple of years ago, the asking prices were in the $75k region. Add to that an interesting color (like it or don't, that color is rare in itself) on a rare car in a market that is eating these cars up? Yeah, I got my 3.2 for well under $20k three years ago. You can't touch a driver-quality 3.2 for under about $25k now. You can get a decent one in the low 30s. Nice ones? Upper thirties. Really nice ones with low miles and records? Prepare to pay over $40k. The stellar examples might actually clear $50k. One owner, low miles, records, bone stock, pristine car - investor-quality car. Oh, and M491 cars are going in the upper-40s to upper-50s. In some cases, more than a similar 930, although that gap is closing pretty fast. The longhood market is slowing down some, at least from a price increase standpoint. But all the other cars seem to be still shooting up. If you haven't been closely following the market, you have no clue how crazy it's gotten. I mean, SCs, going in the 30s???? Holy crap.
