More money than brains....

4.8L motor? Must be a Porschevy!

Never thought I would ever say someone could have saved $10K at Sloan or RPM!

I thought B-J specialized in De-troit muscle? Still probably cheaper than a 427 powered anything!

What a big engine you have, Grandma...

Wow thats a lot of money. What is the consignment fee to sell a car at B-J?

I saw that car for sale at a Scottsdale dealer a couple of years ago, then it was at the BJ auction last year. I don't remember if it sold or not. Interesting that it keeps going back. Crazy price. I don't remember the car being all that nice in person.

Could have bought five 996's !

Add the 10 per-cent Buyers premium to the $60,500 and it went out the door at $66,550.00.
Obviously, it got into a bidding war that got out of control.

justin993

we are talking about an action that has completely inflated the value of Detroit iron over the last 5-6 years.
I have never seen so many men with more money than brains in short sleeve, black button down shirts with muscle car or hot rod logos embroidered in them.
there was a cab a couple years ago with lower miles, had a tip!!! and went for close to $80k!!!

You get to be on TV.....

Not surprising...993 is a classic.

Prices will be even higher 5-10 years from now.

You forgot the 8% sellers fee and the $500 reg fee.

These guys don't do it for free.

That's amazing in this economic climate, the news of this sale will almost certainly give another boost to the desirability and $$$ values of our cars.

I was watching the other day and saw a 356 B Coupe sell for $12,000 or so. Quite a surprise. Did anyone see this?
