That's what I'd like to know...
B, from the stories that I've heard about George's silver 916, it's pretty far from a 100 point car. (Never seen it myself, but...) And if he's asking $100K for it, then he has dropped the price significantly in the past two years. Last time I noticed, he was asking $350,000 for it. These cars are very rare. They also have some history. Are they worth $100K+? Yeah, to the right person. Face it, folks--just about nobody on this BBS is "the right person". I don't think the car is going to be easy to sell, but if the seller does wait for the right person to come along, he'll get what he's asking, I think. The neglect is not surprising. In the late 70s, these were just "odd" cars. Even people who knew what they were thought of them as a "wolf in cheap clothing" (to quote an old magazine article). One of the guys who used to hang out on the Pelican BBS (and might even be overe here?) had the chance to buy George's silver one when it was at Brumos, for a lot less than the price of a new 911. It needed work back then, but was driveable. And, for the most part, cars were not regarded as collectible in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn't until the late 80s that the market went through the roof and people started to be willing to pay a ton of money for an old outdated odd-looking car. --DD |
