Certain collector quality Porsches have rapidly moved up in price over the past couple of years. This 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo Carerra is for sale at the upcoming Russo and Steele auction in Monterey and I suspect it will get a lot of attention.
Based on the description and the photos this one seems like a great one to have for the Porsche Turbo lover.
Russo and Steele says,
…the original paint is just incredible on this 35 year old car. The mileage is a healthy 59,000 fair weather miles, and everything functions perfectly mechanically.
Factory floor mats (still in flawless condition themselves) protect carpets that have never been stepped on, so are in brand new condition. The original Blaupunkt Porsche radio/cassette unit is present, as are perfect and correct original snorkels and all rare bits and in like new condition.
Original is great, but when original and in like new condition, the result is really impressive.
According to the Hagerty Price Guide this model has more than doubled in price over the last one year. Other Porsche models, especially the 1965 and 1966 911 models, have also increased significantly.
This can bee seen at other Monterey auctions where some of the mid-1960s 911s are estimated at $300,000 to $550,000 and there are other models with even higher price estimates, like a 959 and a 911 race car.
The Porsche marque may be poised to make a big move upward similar to what we have seen with Ferraris lately. The Porsche has already started moving – the big question is how far will it go?
These cars at the Monterey auctions make the 1965 Porsche 911 with Sebring race history for sale here on My Car Quest look like a bargain!

Also has the rare broomstick option (original no doubt)!
The broomstick is probably not original but still helpful.
Most of these cars are damaged on the right rear fender due to turbo lag
