Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Nardi woodrim steering wheel, AM FM Blaupunkt radio, bumper overriders. Clutch & gas pedal rubber in passenger foot well. Some chips in paint around edges. Rubber around mirrors is cracking. Nothing special but an OK driver. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Reported sold by Bonhams at Quail Lodge in 2004 for $46,000, then here by RM a year ago for $66,000. It has put another 25 miles on the odometer since then but its condition hasnt improved noticeably. The seller went home a little poorer even though the buyer paid $5,500 more. This was the last car to cross the block at RM Monterey this year and the fact that there was anyone there to pay market value for a relatively unloved Porsche is a tribute to RMs pulling power. Actually there was a pretty good crowd because the auction didnt run as late as it sometimes does.
