Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Dull but actually quite sound original paint. Chips across the nose but no crazing, cracks or other big scratches. It's just dull. Dull but not ugly chrome and brightwork. Tidy original engine bay. Very good original interior. A dry, clean and honest all original car that looks like it should have fewer miles than the 95,560 on the odometer. Although it was an East Coast car for most of its life, it looks like the kind of original, lightly worn car you see buzzing around Monterey and parallel parked on the street. It's an ideal preservation class example of a very early Reutter-bodied 911.
Market commentary
There's a premium for originality and this result was no exception, though it wasn't as big of a premium as RM hoped for. Early short wheelbase 911s are suddenly popular and in the midst of that popularity this thoroughly original example could have brought considerably more without comment.
