I think at some point I will own a 944 as a second car. Every time I see a nice one I drool a little. Not sure why but I think the design is so perfect.

This one caught my eye today on BAT.

The 944s are great, but given how cheap the OG Caymans have gotten I can't see getting a 944 over one of those.

Looks like no sale at $63k, now it's listed on rennlist for $70.

Peridot is the best color for these, but that's all the money and more for a car that has pretty clearly been tracked fairly heavily.

Also, AC delete means you're not going to be driving it on the street much.

The door latch release straps are stupid. I know that's a nod to the past more than anything, but they're just dumb.

Otherwise, that car is bomber. Way too expensive, but bomber nonetheless.

Where was EAG in the bidding? I mean don't get me wrong $50k is still a shit ton of money but EAG would price this at like $70 or higher.

For some reason I never knew these hard top looking SL's ever existed.

I dont think I have ever seen one before.
