That is a cool color combo and it looked pretty in the pictures. I'm sure we'll be told that the car was actually a rusty mix-master jalopy, though.

Here's everything minus a 993TT:



The C4S bid to $75k was estimated at $160-180k. They were off just a little on that one.

The 993 aerokit didn't meet reserve at $100k? Is it so very special?

One owner, photo'd nicely and the uncommon aerokit is a cool perk, I guess.

993TT bid to $250k, didn't sell. Looked gorgeous on the video.

2011 Turbo S with 9k miles for $80k is a steal. At least $15k under value. Lots of car for the money.

Yeah, I couldn't believe that one. Too bad none of those came with an old fashioned manual.

Thats Indy for you. Porsches have historically never sold well in Indiana... even at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg auction, before it went under, they never sold well. It looks like they are coming around since the markets are hot, but still good buys to be had in Indiana.

Oh, and "buyers at Mecum don't know what Porsches are." That's the other excuse.

Ha ha - yep!

Do you think that the frequent did-not-sells that are being seen at various auctions is an indicator that some folks are pricing these type cars unrealistically?

Mecum Indy 2016

I'd say that 79 930 would have been a steal at $140,000. Orignal car.

If it would have been a steal at 140K, why wouldn't anyone looking for one bid more for it then ?

The color combo's nice and rare which should add a premium to the value.

Those yokels in Indy thought it was just a souped up Beetle.

71 T for $56,000...... what kind of condition...... 2.5L injected? sounds like a hotrod......

Looked at it....... eye of the beholder...... better sold than bought....

I like the vintage French Marshall headlights. they go for miles down the road unlike the stock Porsche candle like ones. I have a set in my 78 and really like them over stock. Some in the know back then chose wisely. May have been a exceptional car with that insight.

That one was listed as a NS, however almost all got sold at reasonable prices. Looked like a decent place to buy this time.
