>>>Will, I don't know where you have been for the last year.<BR>
<BR>
A PCNC member bought a very nice, but not spectacular, blue '72 Pre-L in Monterey last year at auction. He paid $66K plus 10% buyer's premium.<BR>
<BR>
The green car went to Europe for $65K.<BR>
<BR>
A red L-model sold for $125K a few months ago (admittedly with under 1000 original miles and perfect in every way).<BR>
<BR>
There's a nice repainted L-model for sale here asking $82.5K, which, when it sells, will probably get about $70K.<BR>
<BR>
And there are many, many more examples in the last year. All you have to do is look for them.<BR>
<BR>
Face the fact--really nice, original Panteras are getting really good money these days. Cars like mine, that have $75K invested in them or so, are only worth $50K perhaps. But a car that has been well cared-for and has had little or nothing invested in it will get $65-75K easily.<BR>
<BR>
And the days of the five-figure GT5-S are gone--at least for now, perhaps forever.<BR>
