Coupe Sales Comparison

[HB Chris]

Some of you know that I keep a spreadsheet of e9 sales as well as all US/NA market coupe VINs. I thought the following was interesting and depicts a cooling of the market. Most if not all are from BaT and excludes commission. Recent

2021 Sales 35 coupes, Total $3,491,088, Average Sale $99,745

2022 Sales 34 coupes, Total $3,155,051, Average Sale $92,796

2022 Q4 Sales 11 coupes, $958,500, Average Sale $87,136

Remove 2 High Sales from Q4 Average Sale $71,944

Last 4 Q1 2023 Average Sale $72,125

Regarding US/NA VINs I have 1,313 (367 2800CS and 946 3.0CS) but this includes 327 from the old Register which haven't been seen in the last 25 years or so. That would be 35% of the 3,724 produced. Without the missing coupes the number is 986 or 26%. If we only include US imports through Hoffman of approximately 2,900 the number is 32%.

Love the data, thanks!!!
Goes without saying this captures the "nicer" coupes crossing the market if they are all sold cars from BAT.
It makes one wonder if this trickles down to the sale of project cars or if they are hotter than ever.

If there is a downward trend, I have a choice of two aces up my sleeve to offset this:1. Raise it up 6 inches, put a light bar on the roof and call it a "Safari Build". or 2.
Crush it into an unrecognisable cube and claim it's a '71 Bronco.

Ha! Brick Bronco's......

Throwing a Telsa 3 under it is gaining traction as an ace.

Each car that rusts away increases the value of the remaining cars ...

It's the tale of the British Guiana Magenta.

" there is a stamp of which only one is known, (one-cent British Guiana magenta, its uniqueness could make it worth, say, ten million dollars. Another stamp, of which two are known, may be worth only one million each, there being a ten-fold premium for absolute uniqueness. So if the owner of the British Guiana discovers a second such stamp, there will then be two of t hem worth only a million each, for a total of two million. by destroying one of them, the other one’s value of ten million is restored."

The British Guiana 1c magenta is regarded by many philatelists as the world's most famous rare stamp.[3][4] It was issued in limited numbers in British Guiana (now Guyana) in 1856, and only one specimen is now known to exist.

Another stamp tale is the now rare stamp issued years ago in Nevada featuring the Houses of ill repute. The stamp was free, but it cost 25 cents to lick it.....
