Hmmm 62k for a GTS driver ?
Nice.
Nice.
Maybe somebody make's a deal before auction ending.
Hagerty valuation tool shows an Average 74 GTS at $91,314
Not that I put too much stock in Hagertys valuation tool, but I am thinking $62K was a real good buy.

If I'd have been paying more attention I'd have bought that at that price...
Caught me off guard 4-sure. I spoke to him about the car while in the Denver area looking at the white 5-Steel. This burgundy car is super nice, I was a stone throws away, Fort Collins is a hop,skip and a jump. I could have stopped on my way down to Dennis from Cheyenne. He was pretty firm with a reserve at 80k. I fell off the car around 60 figuring it wasn't even close, then bam, SOLD! That was a fantastic deal no matter what.That's an 80 thousand dollar car.Even higher at live auction.

Forgive me, but it's a $62K car, that's what it just sold for on eBay with lots of exposure. People can talk up prices all they want, actual sales are the only measure in my book. It will be an $80K car on the day it sells for that amount, not before.
The only thing that can be agreed on is that prices are rising?
In any case, if the condition of the car is as shown in the pictures, it was a really good buy.
I doubt that when it comes up for sale again it will turn into a short sale?
I think what the issue is that there are different classes of buyers for each price range.
US Panteras have for as long as I can remember drastically under priced and because they are too cheap, the wrong people bought them.
What I have noticed though is that they for some inexplicable reason, sales prices seem to be very similar to the selling prices of new Covettes?
I am old enough to remember 289 Cobras selling for $3500 and you could buy an SC from Carter Gette for $8000.
The talk was those cars were tin cans and would never be worth more than $10,000.
The current discussion of cars having "over priced asking prices" reminds me very much of those "arguments".
One can only look at similarities. Nothing is exactly the same and likely never will be either.
I think though that I noticed subtle interest in Panteras by "investors" buying cars like they would buy undervalued stocks as not to stir the market.
