Rare Porsche 911 S/T Fails to Find a New Owner at Auction
The owner of this rare Porsche drove it only 787 miles (1,267 km) before deciding to put it up for sale. Interestingly, they rejected an offer that was more than double the original price, believing in the car’s future appreciation.
This model is one of only 1,963 Porsche 911 S/Ts produced, making it particularly special. It combines a powerful engine, lightweight materials, and a manual transmission, making it one of the best road-going versions of the 911.
Unique Features of the Car
The owner additionally opted for the $23,220 Heritage Design Package, which includes design elements inspired by 1963, as well as an exclusive paint-to-sample green color for an extra $23,920. Other options include a Bose audio system, aluminum pedals, and a chronograph package.
This is a very unique car with a set of options that likely make it one of a kind.
Although the exact amount paid by the current owner is unknown, some experts believe they may have paid significantly more than the factory price. Auction commentators support the seller’s decision not to sell the car now, but whether this strategy will pay off remains to be seen.
The market for collector cars has always been unpredictable, and the decision to postpone a sale could either result in a large profit or leave the owner with the same car years later. This is especially true for exclusive models like the Porsche 911 S/T, where each example has its own history and uniqueness.
