That car with 2200 miles on it appears to have a hellova lot of wear on the drivers side carpet for a couple thousand miles of use.

Guud one! Wait a minute...

I'm just stevo. I know who you meant. I'm sure he's got a few of them to sell...

Those are aftermarket floormats. They are plush material--that's why they look worn compared to the carpet (two different textures). And they're dirty too.

Looks like the 71 also has european front lenses...??

The "Custom" sold for over 17K at a Jackson Auction! I got a 4 banger for sale.

On that 73' 1.7 with original 2200 miles... I thought that the 73' cars all had the 150mph Speedo? (That car has an old 120mph speedo.) Or was that just on the 2.0L cars?
I need a can of cheeze wiz to appreciate those other cars
Can you say CHEEZY!
I like the part where is states that it won the Concourse d'legance.....in Utah. That explains everything! It was probably the only Porsche entered.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it also has gold lettering. Should be silver for a 73.

Isn't that a Wheel Skin covering the steering wheel on the '73? Shouldn't need that after "only" 2,200 miles

someone should repost the "2200 mile" thread to save us from going over all this one more time.

The race car sold last year at the same auction for $5000 ish. Probably the same seller. It's not uncommon for "no reserve" cars to actually be bought by a buddy of the seller if it doesn't get up high enough. The same guy could also "bid up" the car if someone shows an interest. Back in the 80's I used to work the Tom Williams collector car auction every year in Louisville, Ky in Oct. Saw some pretty shady things going on, hopefully a lot better now. I do wish I had the coin back then, could've picked up on some massive deals. Ex: Lotus Europa twin cam, 12,000 orig miles, original tires & cosmic wheels, cool racetrack /press stickers on the windshield, nice car overall. high bid $1500, res of $2500. Contacted the seller 2 days afterwards, he traded it for a Triumph Spitfire and $500! Or the Detomaso Mangusta, no reserve, $2000!
