About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Fresh clearcoat repaint, tight interior, beautiful engine compartment. Flush panel fits and even gaps facilitated by filler on both sides, particularly the rear fenders. Later replacement type 616/1 engine.

Market commentary

Not sold? Not a surprise at the reported high bid. Even the body filler -- pretty much standard on Porsches of this era -- and replacement engine aren't enough to warrant the lack of appeal shown by the Bonhams bidders. No respect at all was given to the factory hardtop included in the package. It should have brought well over $300K.
