Agreed on all points; however, your CSL was the least expensive one I've
seen on the market. The only other sales were for $55k - $60k on eBay
about six months ago (Inka one in Miami), and a Batmobile, which went for
something like $100k or more (Art sent the link, I think?), which averages
out to over $50k. My point is that your car is on the low end of that
price scale, unless they are considering cars that aren't driveable or in
really poor condition perhaps?

Just goes to show you... (BMWs, 240zs, and the low end of this book) are
drivers. The others are posers, Trailer queens. Never driven.

No he's not -- I sold my condition 2+ 3.0 CSL (VIN # 2275040) for a tad
over $30k on eBay last fall. Sure, I would like to have received a better
price -- got $38k the first time it was listed, but the buyer backed out,
as some of you may remember.
No matter how much we like our various BMW's, and no matter what we (fans
of a particular car) think it is truly "worth", market prices are the
true measure of what a collector car is worth, and the E9 has never had
the widespread desirability of say, a similar model year 911S, which is
an example of a much more desirable car from the standpoint of the
collector market. Hell, nice MG's are getting expensive, a car that I
(personal opinion here) consider a rolling piece of junk, compared to my
preferred contemporary, the Datsun 240Z (of which I own two). 240Z
prices, while getting a little stronger recently, aren't enjoying
anywhere near the appreciation seen by comparable MGs. E3s (and E12s) are
certainly good cars, but there's no widespread interest in the collector
market for them, hence the low prices, as well as the low ratings --
which relate to the appreciation potential. So, that's how a very good
car that hasn't captured the fancy of the marketplace gets a "C",
regardless of its perceived and/or inherent styling or mechanical merits.
All Sports Car Market is doing is reporting on market pricing and trends
in the marketplace. It doesn't play favorites. Keith Martin, the founder
of SCM, called the recent softening in muscle car prices that have come
to pass at the latest big collector auctions. He started out publishing
the Alfa Romeo Market Newsletter many years ago, and is now the
recognized sage of the collector car scene.
