930 75/77 78/79 89

[93097004xx]

Watching the market and seems the 75/79 930s are pulling away from the 89 G50 cars. Obviously the 75/77 are the top but the 78/79 do nearly as well at auction. Seems early cars 75/79 are more interesting to collectors than a G50 transmission. If anyone has more insight speak up. For nearly 20 years the 1989 G50 930 was the Grail of 930s. Seems no more.

The 89's will catch back up when they turn 40

Not surprising that collectors are not concerned with actual machine performance. Like Brian B mentioned in the "sales" thread, those guys would likely be just as satisfied if the car had a wooden engine and gearbox in it, as long as the color and option codes were correct.

This one had a wooden engine it. I'd love to have it in my garage.

Gives an alternative meaning to the expression "have wood" right?

PS - whadaya mean by "garage", ya' perv!?!?!?

[Matt Monson]

I think you have me confused with Christian. Those Danes have certain green manufacturing controls and would make something out of wood that we would just have injection molded in China...

[Ronnie's.930]

Matt, I am certain that Christian has wood in his garage on a daily basis!!!

G50 was the feature to have when they were being bought as drivers.

How could it be, Ronnie, you wondered about "garage" yet failed to ask Matt to clarify what he meant by "have it". You're slipping, my friend.

912s' have engines?! I thought they were Fred Flintstone powered ("powered" used loosely here, of course)!

[seer_chris]

Yeah you're right they don't have engines.... They're so Woody and natural that The only blower on the option list... Was .....
A leaf blower...
