One owner diamond blue metallic with 51k mi? That car will go for all the money anywhere.

My 87 is not nearly as unique but maybe time to sell it

Someone is in love with this car- I can see why.
True 2+ condition cars are getting harder to find

Hard to fathom as the car is nice but really not that rare.....

Modded steering wheel loses $30k in value.

Up to $86K now

There is a white 78 Targa now with over 100,000 miles at $55k now, 3 days to go.

Wrong color to bring all the money.

I knew you were gonna say that. Special model gets 10%. Special color can get 20-25%. I know someone said DBM isn’t that rare, but I don’t think it matters. It’s howuch the color is loved versus how many they actually made.

I've noticed that as well. The actual color outranks low production numbers with respect to sales prices.

I agree about the 78 Targa with a 100k and a white car at $55.555k with three days to go.....???? that surprised me too...and no G-50?

Something seems amiss with this auction; no bidding during the final five days.

That's because the price got high early on. Had bidding ensued, it would have gone over 100k, clearly nobody was going to pay that. Even though it had the precious and always touted G50.

As I posted on BAT; I can’t believe the recent values, and can’t figure out why Targas are jumping above coupes and cabs with such a wide spread. This was quite the opposite trend basically throughout the entire history of G-Bodies until the last few weeks…

It's not about the Targa.
No mods and low miles will bring a premium.

It was a 78 SC with 107k miles... The OP was an 88 which sold for mid $80k. I've seen plenty of coupes and cabs on BAT with similar mileage and condition go for mid 50's. I follow BAT daily and these Targas are bouncing with no real market around it to support these huge numbers (coupes/cabs). BAT has a Impact Bumper page which graphs the solds - either these are anomalies, or Singer is about to buy up a bunch of SC Targas...
