NEARLY SALE OF THE DAY

Highest bid was $66,000…

πŸš— 1979 Porsche 911SC: A European-market coupe that was imported to the US. Finished in Guards Red over a black interior.

πŸ”§ Enhanced features: Comes with a 3.0-liter flat-six engine, five-speed manual transaxle, MSD ignition, and a Griffiths/Kuehl air-conditioning compressor.

🎨 Exterior updates: Refinished engine cover, repaired front valance, replacement engine-compartment decals, new trunk struts, turn-signal relay, fog-light switch, and various lighting lenses.

πŸ”΅ Wheels and Tires: Fuchs 16β€³ alloy wheels refinished and fitted with 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires.

πŸ”© Mechanical updates: Overhauled braking system, new sway bar mounts, replaced wheel bearings, tie rods, and ball-joint pins.

πŸ›‹οΈ Interior enhancements: Black upholstery on front sport seats and folding rear seats. Additional appointments include air conditioning, power windows, and an aftermarket JVC CD stereo.

βš™οΈ Engine rebuild: Completed in November 2022 with several parts replaced including fuel tank, engine seals, piston rings, heat exchangers, oil lines, and oil-pressure switch and sender.

πŸ’¨ Exhaust system: An SSI exhaust with a stainless muffler has been installed, adding to the car's performance credentials.

🚿 Detailed cleaning: The underside of the car was dry-ice cleaned in preparation for the sale.

Given that it sold for $50k last year, the current market might not be ready to appreciate the additional value from the extensive work done on the car, leading to a price mismatch between seller and potential buyers. Could the lack of clarity on the true mileage of the vehicle been a factor deterring potential buyers or is the market just correcting itself on some of those crazy buys from last year?
