Is the Backdraft market soft?

First, only a shade over 1m 911s have been produced over 50+ years, not “millions”. Even adding in 356 models wouldn’t push to millions. Yes, large following and growing. This is my point, Porsche has a great track record of bringing new people into the brand. Secondary market pricing is stable, and for many model generations the pricing benchmarks are strengthening, but they still don’t sell quickly unless you have a particularly desireable model or interesting pedigree on a particular car. Even CPO cars can sit on dealer lots for a while. Replica Cobras don’t sell quickly either, but the pricing is obviously weakening and I think @twobjshelbys has it right, the fanbase for these cars is dying off and younger generations associate the Shelby brand with modern Mustangs more than Cobras.

Please don’t assume you know what I want or don’t want to hear. I posted the original inquiry and I simply wanted to see what other owners are seeing in this market. Pricing is what it is, a number and if I had to sell the car for a specific number then I’d probably be worried but I don’t so I’ll just let it sit in the warehouse with a battery tender on it. I still drive it on ocassion. As for fools errand, I never said anything about original Cobras vs replicas... What I was saying is that it’s foolish to compare the Porsche market to replica cars.
