"She is in perfect running condition"
 

That will buff right out.

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?

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?

Repair estimated costs
 

5K Plus............

That car is worth 3 grand.

$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.

not going to happen.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Tom '75 targa

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.

Interesting - possible there were two types? I know the "Euro" ones I bought were definitely smaller than the ones that were originally on my car, but it's also possible that someone along the line someplace put the incorrect ones on there. I'll get the part #'s and post them up when I get a minute. The ones I have on there now are definitely Euro ones, same as your picture above.

Nice car, BTW. One of the nicer looking brown ones I've seen.

74 only came with the smaller euro bumpers. Thanks for the kind words. I am the 2nd owner, original owner was a mechanical engineer and did everything in advance regarding service and the following upgrades:

1. Carrera chain tensioners
2. SSI
3. Pop Off Valve
4. Valve Covers
5. Tranny rebuild to address in advance, 1st and 2nd gear syncros

Car is bone dry stock and also came with an ultra rare 74 correct, Travel Parts Kit to compliment the Tool Kit. Even the Early 911 owners let me park next to them HA HA HA

Fortunately, it does not come with the same "dent" that is on the ebay car above.

Post a pic of your car!

Mine's a wreck right now. It's got color code #336 (Mexico Blue) which is awesome, but somewhere along the line some joker got the bright idea that black looked better (ugh). So that's one thing I'm working on (restoring it to the original color). Un-painting the targa bar, adding a ducktail (it has the wider SC flares), some nice BBS RS wheels (have 7" & 8" fuchs too). There's also some crappy body work that someone hack-jobbed around where the SC flares are, which I'm undoing and doing correctly. Also some minor rust repair where the jack tubes are. Oh, and upgrading to H4s. Mechanically I'm adding the Carrera tensioners, a front oil cooler, SSIs and megaphones (the current exhaust setup bores me), etc. Lots of work!

I'll post up some pics later though. It's probably about time I documented where I am anyway.

Yeah, this is my 4th P-Car had a 67, 68 and 69 previously. They are all like a house, never done and always something to fix. Most recently I replaced 35 year old Master Brake Cylinder, Pedal Cluster rebuild and just the other week Hand Throttle Lever piece that slides on to the throttle cable for start up.

All fun, and require the "Kung Fu" grip that I dont possess even though I'm Asian HA HA HA. Best done with a friend to past the beer or tools. But the work is good therapy letting me speak in "tongues" as every 2 hour planned service/project ultimately turns in to the 5 hour project. Just love these cars.
