Great to see this beautiful cab bring in a good result, even in January. $22,622 and 55 bids (none of them mine this time ) are solid proof that the 968 continues to enjoy strong interest in the Porsche resale market.

Nice job!

I thought this car would break $30k range. Kinda disappointed to be honest. It was a very low mileage 1 owner car. It is definitely a good trend though.

Obviously, I am WAY disappointed. I thought at least 28$. Jeff, next time you are commanded to bid.

Did you watch the Mecum auction this past weekend and see what the Boxsters and 996s went for?

I think $22k+ is a respectable number.

Yikes! How much? Are they way soft? Meaning that our 968 cars are competing with the greatest sports car ever made? Also, bad news because I have a 986 for sale.

Yes, our limited production, scarce, wonderful-driving GT cars are competing with early model Boxsters because Boxsters are as common as sports cars get and the continuing development means a 10 year old Boxster is really passe.

^ Have you run into my man Denny Kahler down there yet? He maintained my cars for 30 years until he took his fortune to AZ. I fished your Dells one day. What a gorgeous place. Didn't want to leave. Now to cars. Yes "passé" but still the greatest sports car ever made. I am a 968 disciple (14) but that can't change the truth. So how much were 986's selling for?

Here are the results

Sorry, Jeff. A Hemi Cuda went for $2.6M! An unrestored went for $950k. OMG!

Not met Denny, is he still around Prescott? Love to meet him, we have a Porsches2Prescott event in May he might enjoy.

Betcha he will make that event. Thanx for Mecum stuff. I'm afraid to look up some of my past affairs with Porsche. 2 65 SC's one a cabriolet. 2 Speedsters including one Ferry tied a scarf on in 1977. 3 914-6s including the Millidge/Green car. 73 T, 75 Carrera, 78 930 and dozen 968's. Its gonna hurt. If only I'd kept them and scrapped my 401k and skipped the stock market.

I wouldn't look those up unless you want to ruin your day. You know what you'll find and it won't be good.

What are you going to do? I was into Mopars in my early years. In 1983 I recall a guy in New Haven who hung with us and paid $27k for a 71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible project (1 of 7). We through he was crazy. Two years later he restored it and sold it for $67k which we couldn't believe. One just like it sold for $4 million a few years ago!!! At this point you start to think about your good health!

I have always been lucky with health, women and cars. Casinos not so much. I'm sticking with h, w, c and avoiding the latter. No complaints about cars. I enjoyed them more than their prices and sold all the ones mentioned for more than I paid. But still woulda stayed out of the common investments and stock market if I'd known what I do today. And for sure I'd have stayed out of California's ridiculous real estate market. Invest in health, women and cars and I guarantee a fun life but you'll be broke at the end.

az968gpw

Broke? You'll be dead at the end. Better to spend your money on h, w and c and enjoy it while you can!

4kix66

That's what I meant. Also, if you got w and c you ain't broke. Also i guess if yer dead broke don't matter.

I know of a one owner 2003 C4s,fully maintained and IMS upgrade with 120K miles that could be had for 19K or so. That is a lot of car for the price of a new Corolla.
