values for used 911s

I am a newbie and just bought a "hot-rodded, bastardized, middie" 77' 911S (thanks spuggy, I love the description) and have a few questions related to the value of 911s.

I have been looking/reading/researching for about 6 months and I can't get a grip on the values of 911s. An unmolested 81 sc with 86k original miles and in great shape went for $10,600 on ebay (located in Pittsburgh 15 mi from me) about 3 weeks ago. I was shocked it went for so little. I've seen others go for a much higher price. Why didn't it go for more? Just because it was on ebay? Because there are alot of sc's? It was in PGH? No one was bidding that week????....

When someone bastardizes a car, wide body kit, engine swap, etc..., does it GENERALLY bring the price down? I have seen some beautiful / tasteful examples of modified 911s go for alot less than a stock 911 of the same year. In my case, did the 3.2 add value?

I paid $14,000 for my car, description/pics below. It seemed fair to me. Some said it was a great price. Others said it was average. Maybe its a mistake but I really value the opinions on this forum. What are your honset thoughts about the value of my new purchase?


77 911S with 91k on chassis
9,000 mi on 3.2 w/GE40 cams, 46 ida Webers, SSIs & rebuilt 915 w short gears and LSD
New torsion bars and swaybars, clean interior
no rust or accidents
runs and drives great

NO idea what it's worth, but that's a sweet-ass car.

I'd cut the tailpipes about 2-3" shorter, but that's just me.
