Scottsdale auctions
Barbara and I are in Scottsdale. Previewed the 356s at Bonhams on Tuesday; eight of them! Plus a 1958 Spyder.
Will be checking the cars at RM/Sotheby's and Gooding in the next two days. If you have a question about any of the cars at Bonhams, call us on 810-358-7313. I will only be on the computer early in the morning and late at night.

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Please bid one million dollars on the Spyder for me so that I can tell my friends I am buying one.

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Enjoy our warmth for the next couple days. Sat & Sun you might want to stay inside. Temperature expected to go down 19 - 20 degrees from Friday. (Of course, being from Michigan, Vic will think 50 is a heat wave.)
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Vic,
we are meeting in Scottsdale with a bunch of the local 356 and early 911 guys on saturday morning, starting around 730am. I expect about 30-40 or so early P cars showing up. This is our usual hangout with the early 911 group. It is at 4till4 (3:56), a 356 themed coffee shop located at 7105 E. First Ave. Scottsdale. AZ 85251.

Hope to see you (and any other registry member in town!) there!

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Vic,
Was just checking out two Pre-As on RM/Sothebys website today - would love your expert opinion on the quality of those cars! Looked like they had a '53 coupe and '53 cabriolet in the same colors. Could be a lovely matching set for someone.
Wish that someone were me but unless I win the lottery...

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Previewed the FOUR pre-As at RM today. The matched pair of Pascha Red coupe and cabrio, were, I'm pretty sure, offered as a pair at an auction at Amelia Island last year (or two years ago; don't have my files with me). Don't think they sold then. Not bad, but with enough faults to drop them from premium grade; dash painted SAME color; not correct for pre-A. Detail notes are out in the car; I'm down for the night.
Jules; thanks for the invite, but we'll be inside at Gooding; Wes tells us it's going to be cold.

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Vic:
If you have some time to compare the three Speedsters at the Gooding auction, I was wondering if you could comment on their different expected bid ranges? Is it a function of their differences in condition, or their provenances, or what? Their ranges are quite different. I am picking a model for an apples to apples comparison.
I thought that the 356 market was going to flatten out this past year because the stock market was going nuts. Will I be wrong again this year? Anyone have an opinion on this?

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Looking at the ads for those 3 Speedsters there is no way for an Apples to Apples comparison.

Re: Scottsdale auctions
Ronald is probably trying to compare to other examples. Pretty difficult regardless.

cold is a relative term. My friend from Edmonton, AB is in town walking around in shorts and a t-shirt thinking it is mid summer. I'll see you at Gooding tomorrow.

Re: Scottsdale auctions
I know it is boring, but I have an early 911T, MFI at Russo and Steele. Full on restoration of numbers and date matching car done in my shop for myself. I just did not like the drive or the "Sit" in the car. Drove to Monterey twice, a 356 is is NOT. Everything correct but the color, just could not paint it Sepia.
Interesting to see what it brings. ............Jim.
