Never thought I'd see the day....

Was just looking at the pictures, and I noticed that they used clip on weights in a style I've never seen before.

at 3,100 they are probably the factory weights!

The 930 hit 168k and didn't meet reserve

No reserve on the 951, and it's over $90k with 3 hours to go.

This will be very interesting to watch. No sports seats though

Not the best looking, but probably Wurth weights because, Germany. And if those are the original Goodyear Eagles, they are not fit for the road. My car came with its original tires (at 32k miles) and, at 15+ years old, they were hard as glass and even more dangerous on the road. In the first rain, they spun out like on oiled ice.

I don't think the 944 go any higher before it ends. Some people were saying it would go for at least 150k...

We shall see soon! Most BAT auctions end with a flurry of bids at the last minute. I'm mean, if you're spending $90k on a 944, what's another 10 or 20 grand....

I have an odd question. The pics show the car supported at the front almost parallel with the rear frame support point. What is it resting on in front?

My understanding is the round assembly lift points in front (not sure if that's where it's resting) should not be used and on my own car, they came pushed up--a result no doubt of previous jacking. In fact, this clearly caused the arm of a shop lift to hit the lower sill and I even have outward-bending dents on both fenders to correspond.



So.. is this proper to lift like it is? I was thinking of getting one of those quick-lift jacks but always wondering where would I place it in front? As it stands, I only support on the rails in front which are quite a bit inward
