flares

I have a 71 911T targa that has some modifications, but I do have most of the original parts. It still has the 2.2 engine, 901 with factory LSD, 7" fuchs all round, and race seats. Recently, I purchased a set of SC flares and a pair of 8x15 fuchs to put on the car, now I am having second thoughts. Not that I ever plan to sell the car, but how much would this affect the value?

I say keep it original, unmolested long hood cars are becoming more hard to find and valuable with every year that goes by. If you want a hot rod sell the 71 and buy an SC or Carerra and modify to your heart's consent. Just my $.02.

If you don't plan to sell it, make it into the car you want to keep.

I agree, definitely keep it original unless the car is already heavily modified. This type of modification will only reduce resale value.

Most people don't plan to sell their car... right up until they do..
