About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Featured in the Garry Shandling episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and in Panorama magazine. A chip on the right mirror and the drip rail as well as a few on the rear fenders, but otherwise fantastic original paint. Exterior plastic is in great shape. Very good original interior. Clean wheels. Showing 35,922 believable miles. Remarkably well kept even by Porsche standards, and finished in a rare and delightfully 1970s color.

Market commentary

Maybe the bidders didn't think the color was quite so delightful, or maybe this car just flew under the radar a bit in an auction that was very heavy on Porsches. Either way, this was a bargain price for such a well-kept unrestored 930, which is a model that in general did not do that well in Monterey this year.
