I just sold my '79 930 yesterday. It was listed on the classifieds here for a month, but eventually found my buyer through eBay. I have a friend who sold his '86 a couple weeks back. Exceptional condition low mileage car (~25k miles), but short of "Hagerty money" No doubt the 930s have appreciated, but my personal experience is that Hagerty numbers are inflated. Benefits them as they can sell more insurance.

Their grading system is pretty subjective as well. Scale of 1-4 with 1 being concours perfect. 4 is the bottom, so will include total roaches and basket cases. With that being the scale. Hagerty says that a #4 '78-'79 930 is $90k. Look no further than eBay to see what decent looking driver quality (not roaches) sell for. A very recent 100k mile '78 930 broke into the low $70's. I'd call that car a #3 personally - complete, good history, only "problem" is 100k miles on the odo. Hagerty says a #3 '78-'79 930 is $130k. I say: "good luck with that"

Interestingly, I had my car insured with them and when I called to let them know I no longer needed coverage they asked me if I would disclose what I sold the car for and if they could use that data for their valuation tools. I agreed...doing my part to help with the 'bubble' here
