Chassis no. 9112310669; Engine no. 6323112. Metallic Gold over black leather. 2341/210hp, fuel injection, 5-speed, Fuchs wheels, Pirelli Cinturato tires, Blaupunkt pushbutton radio, original tools and spare.

Evaluation: From the Gold Collection. Sold new in Germany and fully restored at some point recently. Significant creasing of the leather but no cracks or rips. Tidy but not overly restored engine bay. Dullness and light scratching on the exterior plastic. Light cracks on the bumperette plastic as well. Some marks on the window rubbers. Two light scratches on the rear glass. Good specs and a rare color, but not as good as its recent restoration might suggest.

Bottom Line: Another massive price for a flawed car out of the “Gold Collection.” Classic 911s, even S Targas like this, aren’t exactly rare as hens’ teeth and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a better one at this price. Maybe the winning bidder just really likes gold.
