The market has softened.....for average condition cars and folks are trying to cash in. The black car is nice.....but $170K is very strong money without any description of an engine rebuild after 132K miles.

Makes no sense to me (candidly, I am wrong consistently)...... but all you need is two "gotta have it" buyers.....Originally Posted by Cal

"Bidding" and selling are usually 2 different things
.....your old '69S has been for sell at Maxted-Page in the UK for sometime now and for more than $200K.....now that was a nice car!

I hate black cars, having owned many, and still own one....they seem to find me, I avoid buying them, yet I've always seemed to have at least one.....The Autokennel car keeps drawing me back, and my longing to have another 69S is growing....everything about this car http://autokennel.com/1969-porsche-911-s-coupe/ keeps calling my name, seems a bargain in today's market, or yesterday's.....and tomorrow's market will show what a strong value this car is.....I suppose. And with my dislike for black, it could always be brought back to its original burgundy paint. I've seen the car up-close, and it is even better in person.
looking for 1972 911t motor XR584, S/N 6121622
They did a very nice job taking it to the next level.....
Also like the AK car but IMO also priced a bit more than market as it has sat for months....

WOW...they certainly did! The underside of your former steed looks much different...a far cry from the last time I saw it..but then again your cars where never just another pretty face...you built your cars to drive the heck out of them...which I certainly can attest you did..
The AK example is a good looking car....maybe the color change hurts its value?
Who knows...looks like a good car but a little rich IMO..
To me, both look like great cars for different reasons.. one to sit in a collection and the other that can still be driven..
Values? Ask vs sell price? Current market and trending market projections?
Who knows...I guess in the end it comes down to the old adage "they are worth what someone is willing to pay for it"..
But as you and I have often discussed, usually the best cars are the ones sitting in a private garage that exchange hands quietly between two enthusiasts...
So let the hunt continue...

All of these examples have either just enough wrong with them or lack info to keep them unsold.
The AK car is a color change and displacement change yet a really nice car.
The black restored example with the extremely suspect high bids (by private bidders no less...) is off to a questionable start on eBay.
The white car has been around for a year or so.
The slate gray car is just wrong
I agree with the sentiments on market softening. It's not helping sellers' cause when they are asking two years ago money...
I have also seen that car up close and it looks great to me - puzzled why it hasn't sold, unless the color change really takes away from the value.
That first one's a pretty little car. It'd be interesting to note whether it was actually purchased new from Vasek Polak or if that's just a gorgeous little frame put on there to add value.
Porsche taste on a Volkswagen budget...
