That isn’t a header panel.The BAT car's sunroof looks OEM-ish for sure. Even that header panel, but those are the wrong (CSL/Porsche style) visor clips:

I am curious if this 73 will exceed the high bid on the recent 74 on Bring a Trailer from two weeks ago. Both cars look very solid based on the pictures, and both cars had new front fenders at some point.
It'll be interesting to see if the car meets the reserve.
It was offered in 2017 for $95,000 by dealer in New Jersey.

I would think the current bid of $65,000 should satisfy what constitutes a reasonable reserve. Bring a Trailer wants cars to be sold and their website has generally brought fair prices to sellers. At some point I would expect that BAT will not accept cars with unrealistic reserves.
Sold for $145,000. Let that sink in. Not too shabby.

Watched the end of the auction and I think this is a one off price, especially for this Coupe. The lesson here, to me, is that presentation is everything even if the seller, 911r, has the wrong handle for the sale of our Coupes. The car was well presented, answered all questions and had professional photos but it's had minimal drive train upgrades and a number of issues that, at that price, should have been sorted. Came down to 2 guys with deep pockets both wanting the same Coupe. Hope those type of people are around when I put Sahara up for sale.

Wow that's crazy money.....for that kind of money the front rubber bumper guards should be correct for '73.... at least. Hope they enjoy it.... and most of all drive it at that price! 911r made out on that one.
So crazy.

Mind blown.

I can't believe it!! I mean it looks like a solid car and everything but... My old Nardi wheel must help drive up the price.
Congrats to the seller!!!

Two individuals wanted the same car and pushed the price up from $110,000. It was almost double the amount I thought it would sell for. I still think $70,000-$75,000 is a good price for a nice CS, and it looked like a very nice car. The silver one that didn't meet the reserve about 3 months ago seemed like a comparable car to me, but what do I know. Deep pockets and someone who knows what they want.

Has anyone actually seen or worked on this car? Why did it go for so much? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1...URXU2H_m9tDUO-47_Yshy6qTGRGrm_Pqui87KymnQS4oM
