Equipment
Dual Solex carbs, chromed steel wheels, Michelin tires, gold badges, wood-rim Porsche steering wheel, fog lights, Blaupunkt stereo, VDO dash clock.
Condition
Gorgeous detailed engine bay. Sound, shiny and pretty paint. Good chrome. Very good interior. Nut and bolt restored in 2013 by European Collectibles in Costa Mesa and shown at the Quail last year. Nothing is over the top, but everything was redone and, just as important as its condition, it's a genuine Carrera with a Kardex and Porsche CofA showing matching numbers engine and transmission.
Market commentary
When the reported high bid gets this close to the low estimate it is hard to imagine why the deal couldn't get done.
