Two "mints " in one today on BaT

Not saying they are mint, but having two cars on BaT, reminded me of this commercial.

Is it me or the inventory dried up on coupes?

That 2800 looks pretty good.

I think inventory is slightly down from say, 3 years ago when Googout was on the rampage buying everything in sight in SoCal.

Prices seems slightly higher too.

The $20-30k market is pretty thin.

Very uneventful end of the Malaga '74. Apparently no seller response, and RNM at $22,750. I am not surprised.

A prime example of how NOT to sell a car on BaT, despite all the photos.

The 3.0cs didn't meet its reserve.

Boy, I'd love to see one listing for a coupe without some armchair expert solemnly intoning about rust. Breaking news: Old cars rust! Porsches, Ferraris, Astons, Fiats, you name it, if they're driven, they rust! Yes, coupes are harder to repair than some other old cars, but not all. I wonder how much of that rust is because our cars got driven, as opposed to sitting stored away in heated garages. They were pricy cars, but not exotics, and versatile enough to be a daily driver. And now, 45-50 years later, somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the 30,000 or so coupes ever built are still around. Doesn't seem like a bad number for a car that's so prone to rust. Give it a rest!

What do you guys think the car is worth.

The CERTS commercial just gave me flashbacks!
