TOP SALES OF THE WEEK 30/2020

All top deals of the last week were made in the US. The market over there is still much more active than in Europe, but this could change in the coming week because this will be a week of many auctions venues held throughout the old continent. Two of the last week’s top picks were made in online auctions confirming the fact that online auction platforms are overtaking the market in the last months. 25 out of the 36 top deals were done by online auction platforms since we present this column.

1. TOP SALE OF THE WEEK – Porsche 996 GT2 (2002)

Our top sale of the week goes to an unloved Porsche 911 generation, the 996. But it goes to the ultimate car of this generation, the GT2. The lighter, only rear-wheel and manual driven Turbo model of which only 1.287 examples were built. Given to the rarity and the RWD manual turbo configuration is the final price of 80.062,50 USD including premium paid at Pcarmarket on the 14th of July a real bargain (and with original rims included!).

2. TOP SALE OF THE WEEK – Shelby Mustang GT500 (1967)

Shelby American introduced the GT500 in 1967 as a higher-powered option alongside the GT350 and this 1967 Shelby GT500 is one of 2.048 fastback examples produced for the model year. What is even better, this example, sold for 106.000 USD including premium on the 13th of July at Bring a Trailer, has the original big block 427 ci V8 engine, the original 4-speed manual transmission and the original Lime Gold color!
