Well...my 'addiitonal' two cents.

Yes, everyone seems to have been following this auction...I don't think we could help ourselves.

I bought MY '83 Turbo two years ago in decent shape with 93 k miles for $3k ...since then I've put another 3 grand into it for maintenance and renovation of the interior, etc...so I'm at $6k, or roughly half what the auction car sold for. I DO believe these cars are somewhat collectible and if any 240 has a chance to appreciate, the early 80's turbo's (and 79 GT's, plus '93 Classics) will be the likely ones. The auto tranny is less desireable IMHO.

My car has been USED...the auction car, if properly described, is virtually NEW...so obviously the buyer thinks it worthwhile...and he may be right.

I hope he reports to us about the car.

I think I gave a nickel's woth of comment there..sorry
Dennis
