2016 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe 7-Speed
All the money for this rare 911
With only 60 units produced to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Porsche Club of America, the 2016 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe is one of the most exclusive and limited editions in the Porsche 911 lineup. All 60 units were finished in a special Club Blau paint and featured 20” Sport Classic Wheels, SportDesign Package, GTS Interior Package, and plenty of Carbon-fiber accents and special badging on the interior.
This particular 2016 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe shows just 12,000 miles on the odometer and looks to have just normal wear as you would expect for the mileage. The CarFax does show a “minor to moderate” incident with the seller indicating that only the damage was the rear bumper cover. The seller also notes that they maintained the car in-house in response to a question about service history being nonexistent on the CarFax post 2021.
With only 60 examples built, comps are few and far between but over the last five years, the nine examples to sell have hovered around the $150,000 mark with the most recent 2,900-mile example achieving a five-year high at a final bid of of $162,500. With an accident on the CarFax, no paint meter readings to verify paintwork post accident, lack of documented service history over the last four years, and nearly 10,000 more miles than our recent high, I’m actually surprised this one reached a final bid of $157,000. Unfortunately, though, the seller didn’t take it. All the money in my opinion.
Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points.
On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period.
And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
