Good Morning! You might notice a lot of cars ending in odd numbers, 665, 922, etc. Well, that would be because our Paris auction cars sold in Euros. Also to note, we only included cars that are 25 years old or older as they would be eligible for import into the US.

• Tough day for our sell-through rate yesterday which wasn't helped by only half of the Porsche lots in Paris finding homes including the "Star Car", a 1964 904 GTS. Volume though wasn't too shabby with 24 cars selling for just shy of $3m.

SPOTLIGHT

PHOTO CREDIT PCARMARKET

In 2017 Porsche launched the Carrera T as a sportier version of the base 911 Carrera featuring a shorter rear axle ratio, mechanical differential lock, PASM Sport lowered suspension, Sport Chrono package, and sports exhaust as standard. Top-of-the-market examples of the Carrera T typically have 6-speed transmission and special options you couldn't find on any other standard 911 model: rear seat deletion, bucket seats, and rear axle steering. Not this example.

This 9,000-mile 2019 Carrera T in GT Silver Metallic is equipped for luxury touring with a PDK transmission, adaptive sport seats plus instead of buckets, and rear seats, and is void of the rear axle steering system. Not only is this the first 911 Carrera T equipped with a PDK transmission to sell in over a year, but it also sold for a very strong price of $98,000.

Over the past year, your typical 991 Carrera T equipped with a manual transmission sold for over $100,000, with examples having a few of the special options mentioned above bringing more money than those not. So for a PDK car void of any of the desirable options to come close to the floor is fairly surprising. Especially since all of the PDK no-sales topped out at $92,000.

Maybe it was the fact that only 89 Carrera Ts were equipped with PDK for this final model year, or someone really really wanted that Sport-Tex interior on their rear seats and the standard T goodies as they could have saved about $20,000 by purchasing a normal 991 Carrera. Either way, this car was definitely well-sold in our opinion.

NOTEWORTHY SALES

• Someone paid up for this 1985 911 Carrera G50 at $85,000. Was it the steel slant-nose conversion or the amazing and rare Cassis Red Metallic paint with gold BBS-style wheels? We'll let you be the judge.
• This 1999 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet 6-speed was well-bought at $28,250. Probably because the color isn't for everyone. But we like the rare Ocean Jade Green Metallic paint with custom Tartan seat inserts.
• With 55 cars selling over the last 12 months, 944 Turbos are fairly common, even low mileage examples like this 21,000-mile 1988 944 Turbo which sold for $51,000. Could be that demand has been satisfied but either way this Turbo was well-bought.

NEW LISTINGS

• Delivery mileage 997 Speedsters seem to be a dime a dozen lately, but they keep on selling. This 2011 911 Speedster is already at $250,000 with six days to go.
• Purchased for $49,200 in 2021, this 1970 911T Coupe 5-speed repainted what looks a bit like Tangerine is back. We'll see if the seller makes out or if this flip is a flop.
• This 1975 914 Hot-Rod has been withdrawn from Hemmings three times since October 2022. Is this finally the listing that does the trick? It sure looks like a ton of fun for probably not too much money.
