Looks like the rack from Willwood System but with standard bike holders rather than the carriers Will makes. I have the same thing and really like it.

Well, when it's time, it's time. I'm just glad that I actually met the celebrity of a car.
How much do you hope to get for it?

I have that same type of rack that I use on another car, Sold by a company named Hollywood. Very nice, light and secure setup.

DJ, you can't sell that thing, man!

What are you going to use for a foreground subject for your changing-of-the-seasons photos? (Yeah, the bike's nice---but it just ain't the same!)

I don't think its worth it to sell in this market. Not one bit. I can not think of a worse time to be a seller of a Porsche. Unless you really need the money you're getting the wrong end of a deal on a sale right now. I would sooner trade it (tough to do I know...) or stick in long term storage until you have the funds to dump a 3.8x50 engine in it.
I sold my last car (heavily mod'd Miata) because someone offered me a great deal. In retrospect I really didn't need the money (wasn't enough to make a huge difference to me) and there really wasn't anything out there that would provide a similar level of satifisfaction for the equal amount of dinero. That car would have lasted forever no matter how many autocross or DE's I submitted it to. No wonder the new owner had such a big smile as he drove away with it.

Why? Why do people say this? Do they presume the value to go up at some point? Cars aren't the stock market. They seem to either depreciate, or depreciate quickly.

Does that mean he should let it rack up more miles and/or get older... Then sell it? I say sell now, cuz that thing ain't going up in value. That's just me though.
