Equipment
Factory air conditioning, power windows, Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires, tool kit, woodrim steering wheel, Becker Europa stereo, Ansa exhaust.
Condition
Excellent two year old upholstery. The rest of the interior is very good and without major flaw but older. Engine bay shows plenty of signs of age and use. Very good, not show-stopping paint. Some road dirt on the underbody and pitting on the exhaust. Restored in the late 1990s and enjoyed. Really just a driver, but a pretty one.
Market commentary
Like several other high-end cars over the past year or so, this GTC has been a repeat performer at Mecum, failing to meet reserve again and again. It hammered not sold at a $600,000 high bid at Mecum Kissimmee last year, then it hammered not sold again at Mecum Monterey last year at a $550,000 high bid. It got to a $575,000 high bid at Mecum Dallas last year and only got to a $580,000 at Mecum Kissimmee earlier this year. The car arguably deserves more even than the reported high bid in Indy, but with so many failed trips across the block, the bidders seem to have soured on it and the owner isn't likely to get the number he wants. It's time to change venue, try the private market, or just keep the car and enjoy it for a little while. Reported by Mecum as bid to $650,000 in the post-sale results the result as observed on the block was $575,000, confirmed with HammerPriceLive's report. Either bid was within the pre-sale estimate and the car should have been sold.
