The market for Carrera MFI 2.7 coupes appears to have risen quite a bit during 2012. While this rise could be explained away as just part of the continued strength in the overall collector car market, that doesn't explain the complete story. As Porsche enthusiasts have been priced out of comparable long hoods the G-series models appear more attractive in general. Additionally many younger collectors and enthusiasts who weren't yet teenagers during the late 60s and early 70s also appreciate and relate to the now classic styling of the G-series more than the long hood. This trend will continue as the demographics of the classic Porsche owner changes. Finally there is also broader awareness of the direct lineage between the 1973 Carrera RS and the later "European" spec 1974-1976 MFI Carrera 2.7.
At the bottom of this post you can find all Carrera MFI coupes publicly offered for sale during 2012. Asking prices were currency converted to USD $ based on the rates for the date we learned the Carrera was for sale.
Additionally we created the following historical graph based on 64 Carreras advertised over the last six years, excluding the top and bottom price outliers. Reminder that this is an average asking, not sales, price. While the average sales price will be lower than this expect that the vey top end and desirable Carreras will still trade hands at a considerable price premium over the asking price average.
Our prediction for 2013 is continued strength in the Carrera 2.7 market as prices stabilize for the currently en vogue long hoods along with the expectation that prices for other G-series peers, such as the 930 Turbo, will continue to rise.
