what? the lack of gloss in the paint?..... haah.... thats a hell of a door ding....

This tells me his wife is making him sell the car: "The interior is emaculate ". :D

Is $11,000 a reasonable starting point? I'm gonna watch and see. My guess is that no one touches it. Assuming the engine is OK and no holes in the floorboard, what would be a good starting point for this car?

scarceller 09-15-2009 02:59 PM

Not worth much more than 5K with that damage. I bet it goes un-sold

Damage Repair
 
Any body know what type of cost can be expected for the bodywork required?

GLASFIBRE 09-15-2009 03:18 PM

Repair estimated costs
 
5K Plus............

ZAMIRZ 09-15-2009 03:23 PM

That car is worth 3 grand.

Porsche-O-Phile 09-15-2009 04:09 PM

$11k for a damaged 911 with no pictures of the engine?

Good lord, he's on crack. He'll be lucky to get $3k for that thing in this economy.

A good mid-year with the engine mods taken care of would go for around $12,000. Subtract about $6,000 for body and paint, and since there is no mention of an engine rebuild, subtract another $6,000 to $7,000, then...ops....well, there you go. That's how they end up getting salvage titles. This one is only worth what someone can part it out for.

By and large when a seller immediately starts telling you how good the sound system is or what a "killer" stereo he's installed Before or instead of addressing any mechanical or cosmetic issues you will find the car is a piece of crap!
What's is worth? Not worth the headaches it'd give you.
IMHO.

80-911SC 09-15-2009 05:04 PM

not going to happen.

agree with previous maybe 3-4k and whats with no motor shots and the crap speakers shoved in the door.

AshEvan 09-15-2009 06:24 PM


With a little wax and polish, should be fine. Little concerned about the impact on aerodynamics as a result of that dent

chocolatelab 09-15-2009 06:37 PM

For 500 dollars id take it, only approach the car from the front right and always ride on the pasenger side

scarceller 09-15-2009 06:38 PM

Looks like a US car with the narrow EURO rear rubber bumper blocks? or where these used on the 74 US cars?

Also, if that damage was the front fender rather than the rear the repair would be much simpler. With that rear damage the repair is more than the car is worth.

But eBay is a funny place - we shall see.

If I owned this car in this condition I'd simply part it out.

Porsche-O-Phile 09-15-2009 07:51 PM

Those are indeed Euro bumperettes and no, they were not standard on US-spec 911s from '74, at least AFAIK. I've updated them on my car (as well as the taillights, front fenders, headlamps, etc.)

A nice set of the Euro bumperettes by themselves isn't cheap either.

Winter 09-15-2009 08:39 PM

Hell, I'll sell you an "emaccuate" running '75 targa S for $9.5k, any offers? LOL.

He might have gotten a bid at his opening price . . . if that body damage wasn't here. Even then, it's a maybe.

But with that damage, it's a laugher.

I believe the smaller (euro) Bumperettes were standard on 74 only US 911's. 75 and on was the larger more retangular ones. The euro bumper are rarer and cost more.
