Good Morning! Another disappointing day dollar-wise but with a pair of 930 Turbo Slants and a pair of Carrera GTs coming up this week, our dollar volume has a chance of being saved.

THE MARKET
Sell-Through Rate: 60%
Market Volume ($): $306,451
Market Volume (units): 15
- While our unit volume bumped up yesterday, dollar volume still stayed low as only one car over $70,000 found a new home. Our sell-through rate was looking very weak but a few cars from Mecum were sold off the block after failing to fetch bids live.

SPOTLIGHT
PHOTO CREDIT BRING A TRAILER
Carrera 3.2s were manufactured between 1984 and 1989 and quite a few of them pass through the auctions, but none quite like this 1985 911 Carrera 3.2. Over the past year, prices for higher mileage cars tend to hover around the $60-90k mark with a few noteworthy examples selling over $100,000.
Our Spotlight car, a TMU (true mileage unknown) car sold yesterday on Bring a Trailer for $90,000, quite a bit more than the last TMU car to sell which was below $60k. But as we said, this car is not your average Carrera 3.2. On the outside, the car is finished in Grand Prix white with aftermarket bumpers and a ducktail spoiler giving it an SCRS look, especially with the Cibie driving lights. And the side graphics, so 80s. Love it.
Other than the Dansk exhaust system and Bilstein shocks, the drivetrain is stock. Recently, our Spotlight car had extensive servicing consisting of refinishing the wheels, adjusting the valves, and replacing the clutch components, tires, shifter bushings, blower motor fans, air conditioning belt, air filter, valve cover gaskets, engine mounts, crankshaft seal, and steering rack boots.
With all of that work and the fact that it was represented by one of the finest sellers on BaT, $90,000 is a very solid result. You couldn't build a car of this quality for close to that. The seller, having purchased the car in 2017, probably made out here as well. Both parties should be happy with this sale. Well-sold, well-bought, and I'm sure well-enjoyed.
NOTEWORTHY SALES
- What should have been a $300,000 car, this 1955 356 Pre-A Speedster stalled at $260,000 with way more comments than bids in the peanut gallery.
- $83,500 had to have been close to the reserve of this 1997 911 Coupe 6sp although the seller is now asking $92,500 in PCARMARKET's Deal Tank.
- This 1984 911 Cabriolet was well-bought at $33,250. Some of this cars needs kept bidders away but are easily fixed by someone who owns a tool or two.
NEW LISTINGS
- With super-low mileage at a tick over 18,000, this 2003 Boxster S 6sp finished in Arctic Silver Metallic is looking for a PCA Preservation Class win.
- The chances of this non-black non-'Package' 1994 964 3.6 Turbo finding a new home is looking pretty good as bidding is already over $300,000 with seven days to go.
- But with soft sales over the last month and zero bids as of this email, this 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS with only 525 miles might be staying in its garage.
