Nice car......

Predictions?

Hard to guess without seeing it in person. If it's a true #2 it will probably bring around $170k. Looks nice from the pictures.

[1979-930]

It's been for sale here for $139K for about 6 months. They also failed to mention at Mecum it has 112,000 plus miles on it. Good Luck with that $140k price

It will be interesting to see what it brings. Could indicate if it is better to bring a car to auction or sell privately.

90k unsold. My prediction

Thanks. After reading that description, I'm changing my guess to $105k bid - unsold.

I'll be surprised if it does not get bid at least $130K. High miles but has lots going for it.

Thanks for the info on the mileage, thought it was curious that it was omitted.
Also no mention if original paint/color
I think it will be tough to get top dollar with that mileage even though it looks great.
Would be amazed if it hits $100k

[cellison]

aren't there four 79s at this auction?

[kc911s]

I don't think Mecum is trying hide the mileage- they don't ever seem to list mileage.

I was wondering if that was Karl's car (thought it might be butt hadn't asked him yet). I guess he has it consigned through that shop? Whoever gets it will definitely get a nice one ("nice" except for the fact that it's a lame, stocker example, buttofcourse! ) - Karl is a true craftsman and also an honest guy - will be no "surprises" with that car.

My prediction is it does not meet reserve

List shows 1 1979 and 3 1977 930s.

Mileage unless excellently documentable can be a can of worms if in any auction description ( especially if consigned by other than the original owner ). Most likely paint is original Color ( an earlier ad states CTS ) but if repainted with the original color, the factory CTS paint has been removed or painted over. Looks like a very nice well taken care of 930 so will still stick with at least $130K guesstimate.

Got $105. scheech, even with commission still only $115. Now a "the bid goes on" car. If the other turbo's get good bidding , might get a buyer for more as it looked like a nice one from here. I've bought off the Bid goes on lot from a Mecum sale before after seeing what some paid for other ones I did not get.

Dang, nailed it.

Yup

[Macroni]

given today's market I think that is a respectable bid.....

[brianvb]

I have the same car, same colour but lobster red inside and ugly slant nose mods and horsepower mods. 65k miles. I think the miles hurts his. The slant hurts mine for sure so I bought the right fenders. I have to keep the horse powaa.
It really seems like about the right money to me in today's market. If someone buys at "bid goes on" do they still have to pay juice to Mecum ? I think 100us$ is a fair price.
