Equipment
Chrome wheels, Blaupunkt multiband radio, woodrim steering wheel. Driven by Ferry Porsche when new, then damaged in an accident while being tested after servicing, it was rebuilt with a new T 6 front clip and the first 587 1 4 cam 2000GS engine. Eventually sold to its first private owner in California and documented since including authentication by Porsche. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Restored like new.
Market commentary
Consignment 4098. This car is all about the history. It was offered by RM here in Monterey in 1998 where it no saled at $220,000. Eleven years later it would seem the 1998 consignor might have been wise to take the money (if there was any) but the cars value has probably fared better than the sellers 401K in 2008 9 so it looks pretty good. The new owner has an absolutely unique piece of Porsche history, albeit created by accident.
