Equipment
Bosch fuel injection, Fuchs wheels, Michelin tires, electric sunroof, gold brightwork, Blaupunkt cassette stereo, Porsche C of A.
Condition
Matching numbers. Very clean, not overly detailed engine bay. Engine cover doesn't stay open. Very good paint and interior. A relatively recent high quality restoration that wasn't overdone but just right and leaving a correct, like-new 911S from the first year that the top-end S model got Bosch fuel injection.
Market commentary
Most of the numerous no-reserve 911s at Bonhams this year didn't do all that well when they crossed the block, selling for well under estimate after tedious and careful bidding. This car was among the best of the bunch in terms of both equipment and condition, however, and was one of the few Porsches to bring the kind of money that we've become accustomed to seeing from 911s these days. This may mark a high point for the recently tumultuous course of 911 values as the generous supply of these cars becomes apparent to enamored collectors.
