Does anyone know the results of the Monterey auctions?i know a 914 1.8 went for big money, but I think a 914-6 was also being auctioned that weekend. Actually would like to see all the Porsche results.

It's hard to take a car that has been restored to the nth degree and sold at a big auction house and compare it to anything happening in the real world with a normal guy selling a normal car.
The analogy I use when people quote me what a car like this sold for at one of the big auctions and base the price of their car on it is a simple one. I say it's like Paris Fashion Week, if you watch it you will see an Yves St. Laurent gown go down the runway, if you wanted to buy it the cost would be in the tens of thousands. A year later you are at the mall and see a watered down version of that gown on the rack, it's semi-affordable. That what comparing one of these half million dollars cars to a rusty pile in the back of your garage, it's apples and oranges, yes they are both Porsches, but you can't really use the value of one as a basis for the value of the other. It's like a few years ago I went to the side of a mountain to look at a B Coupe, the passenger's side door had a live snake looking at me, the driver's side had an ant-hill as big a my foot, and under the hood with a family of mice, a true eco-system. The guy said, "B Coupes are bringing $75,000 now." I agreed, and it would take $100,000 to get this car there, so do I get $25,000 for taking it? Attached thumbnail(s) |
