Market commentary
'Detailed to restored' condition evaluations are rarely given, but this early short wheelbase 911 is a perfect example of the category. It has minimal miles, beyond meticulous preservation and detailed presentation that makes it a paragon of the model and of preservation in general. The first car in Gooding's Seinfeld collection, it blew away its low estimate, a tribute to its quality and preservation. On first viewing it looked like a careful restoration; closer up its quality and originality became apparent and among today's passion for early 911s it might even be considered a good value.
