^^That's all I'm saying. Because the supra definitely reflects that and there were a lot less turbo supras than there were FD's

Yup!
I understand you want a credible source to say hardtops are worth X amount more. Maybe that will happen, maybe it won't happen. Until then we can have fun and argue

BOTTOMLINE: It all matters (year, model, color etc...) and the more valuable these cars become the more it's going to matter

I don't know, they didn't build all that many FDs. At some point, I think people care mostly about condition rather than how rare the car is within its model year. We'll see how it all plays out--I'm surprised at how many "unicorns" we're seeing in the past year.

WE ALL AGREE 100 PERCENT with this statement

Mileage and condition trumps everything

Well it is a beautiful example but also I don't think I'm alone in thinking the 94+ tan interiors are more attractive than the 93's.

No you are not alone. One of the many reasons 94s are worth more than 93s. But we'll wait for Road and Track to tell us that

Yeah. This could be the start of something big. The Montego and Tan combination with a sunroof being the car to break in the $60's is mind-boggling. Wonder what a black/black R1 with 2,500 miles would do?

That’s a game changer! I expect to see the market flooded in the immediate aftermath. “Flooded” being a relative term!

Yup, anyone who still has their primo FD insured for $30K might want to rethink this and contact their insurance company to raise it some.

I’m also interested in whether Hagerty will get this factored in for their pricing update on May 1st. I might have to revisit my policy value.

Just amazing!

It's awesome that there were several interested bidders at 50k and up.

This really does set a new bench mark for the FD and it's value.

As mentioned we will likely start to see some very nice cars going on the auction block. Hopefully a super low mileage R2.
