What are good condition LWBs targas going for these days?

I’m looking at a 72 911 targa and would like to hear what you guys think is fair price…just a ballpark. What is good condition? No wrecks, straight car, paint is 8-10 years old, looks good, no rust visible anywhere, floor pan/battery area very clean, interior replaced within 5 years (original seats recovered, newer carpet), engine rebuilt 5 years ago, runs strong, no leaks, good compression, good condition fuchs and tires, roof does not leak. All original trim in good condition for 30+ years old.

In short, the car does not "need" anything, runs strong and is reliable. What’s a fair price?

they all have rust, just a matter of finding where...
what kind of targa is it? T ? E ? S?
is the engine original , is the intake original?
does it come with original wheels? tool kit? etc etc...

the price differences are always in the details.... the difference can be extreme

Good point about the rust....it's somewhere, just not terminal or visible in the typical spots (floor pan, battery area, rockers).

It's a T, original engine rebuilt 5 years ago, wheels are not original but they are nice fuchs in good condition. Tool kit...yes. No mods to the body.

Thanks.

I'd probably say around $10-12k is reasonable...? The market on early 911s seems to be in a weird transition spot right now, if there is such a thing. At first there were very few cars for sale, and then demand went crazy, prices went crazy, then all the good cars started showing up, and now, I feel like a lot of that hype has died down...and some of the decent cars are still around. Right now, I think there are a fair number of cars available, at slightly higher (than before the upward trend started) prices. YMMV

$10k for a good rust free original driver and $40k+ for condition 1 depending on the details and options, thats not concours . sky is the limit for concours original cars with sought after options.

Thanks guys. The difference in what you can get for $5-7k and $10-12k is huge. I don't want to over pay and I don't want to miss out on a fair deal.

I'll have some pics tomorrow.
