This car sold at auction for $35,000 in November '16. Finding it hard to believe the reserve wasn't triggered at $56,000.

Neat car but not a real Carrera. I'm surprised the bids are as high as they are in the current auction.

The color is cool. The interior makes the car look like a half completed project. It's a replica so do something cool with the interior.

And is the hood not closed or is it that far out of alignment?

You think?

Wow what a steal on the '77 Carrera 3.0 I would have snatched that up in heart beat at that price. Wonder if there were any serious issues with it as those will be the next ticket here in the US. Mark my words.

Pretty cool little car! Mid 50's seemed like good money for that thing!

pretty sure that i saw this Mex Blue car here in Texas at the auction during the COTA VARA race. it is a nice car but just kind of dolled up. I think it may have had CIS when I saw it but I'm not certain. Interior is nice...doesn't have flares so a narrow bodied 74 with a duck tail and stripes. No performance or R GRuppe outlaw details just a pretty color on a 74. Not that that is a bad thing.

Only 100% margin, seems like a good buy. Luckily there's a $15k "discount" from the "showroom price"!
