Maybe they didn’t. I have a vague recollection that prices of plain jane 1980’s SC’s retracted a bit about 2 years ago. Could be my faulty memory.

Early 911S were up to $225-250K three years ago and have dropped a bit.
John and Chris,
You are correct, 911S's did climb to the $250k level for not very special cars and have since retreated. Simply caused by every piece of crap flooding the market trying to cash in. All the major auctions were flooded with suspect 911S's and slowly but surely there was a retraction in value.
One hopes, probably without a chance of reality, that the world is not suddenly flooded with owners thinking their rusted out E9 is a six figure car, but hope as I may, it will happen as it always has :-(

There were a lot more air cooled 911s made than E9s.
Pleasure my friendI was shooting for the high 80’s
with mine. Thanks for resetting my expectations.
Impressive guess, right on the money haha

Same thing happened to the 190SL’s. Topped out at 250 and prices eroded back down.
Headed for the SF Bay area
Great! We'll see it down here then. Is the new owner on here?
I doubt it but he said he will be driving it.
I'm sure I'll see it at Alice's at some point...

That was picked up quick!
I was thinking the same thing. Who’s got a quarter million dollars ready to be transferred to someone else within less than 24 hours???
Unless of course, cousin Vinny and his trusty old briefcase are involved…
