IIRC, private shops replicated the slant nose for a while - some in metal and some in FRP.    Eventually the factory got into the act and started offering slant nose conversions through the "Special Wish" program.   Rumor had it the factory was not happy with the quality of some of the conversions while some said they wanted some of the profit these conversions produced.  :-)        When profit is involved, Porsche will find a way...

The slantnose cars hold value better than any other 911 turbo out there though Clyde.  Even today.  Rarity does have value.

The way I look at it is if you can afford it buy it

Problem is that those with that type of money have always had that type of money therefore they are buying it too buy it 

They haven't a clue why 

The best example of this in the car world was when Porsche came out with the slope nose cars 

It's was a horrible design 

But every asshole though it was the P car to buy 

Prices went crazy 

There were even after market kits 

Bottoming is that the car market like the art market is like a hot bath

After your in it for a while it's not so hot anymore!

Buy something you truly like and want not because it's the latest thing

Like I said 

If want to know what god thinks of money 

Look who he gave it too !

An example of someone who doesn't value money and who doesn't even understand that the fun of a flea market is haggling over the price.

Ayup… short story.. at the 1985 FNA national meet in Corning, NY they setup a flea market.  One of the vendors (could be someone on this list) was selling glass Ferrari paperweights.  A gentleman next to me (again could have been someone on this list) picked up one, admired it and asked “How much?”  The response was $400.  He said “Great!”  I’ll take two.”  Peeled off eight hundreds from the roll he was carrying and went on to the next vendor.  Never batted an eye.

 

Granted not Warren Buffet money, but to me at the time, it was close!

 

Oh yeah.. at that event I was also offered a 288 GTO for $90K.. this was just before the big spike when Enzo was dying.  Of course, I didn’t have $90K and had no idea prices for that car would jump to seven figures in several years….

The problem is "that much money" isn't that much money to the people with the discretionary income to buy those types of items.

Ok 

Even if you had Warren Buffet money

Ask your self this

Is the car really worth that type of money?

What else could you do with that much coin ?

Is this a straight bid or does it include the buyer's premium?

But *when* was the 57M sale?  Regardless, I'm going to put my guess at 47M.
