1975 911 front struts question and wiw

Cranky1 · 12-28-2011, 02:41 PM

I have a set of used Koni struts that came off a 75. Are Koni's stock and are they rebuildable? I'm mainly curious but on the other hand, I have no use for them and am also curious if they are worth anything to anyone here? If they are worthless, I'll throw them on the scrap pile....but don't want do that otherwise. They don't look damaged and both seem to be fairly tight when I extend them but I'm sure that's not a good test? This isn't an advertisement but want to know if I should advertise them or not waste anyone's time...thanks.

They are valuable. They are rebuild able. People will buy them because they have 3.5" caliper bolt spacing. They will be worth more with the dust shields.

Besides trying to sell them on the 911 classifieds, you might also try the 914 classifieds as some of those guys are converting to 911 suspension.

Thanks for the reply but this is all I have left....got an idea what I should ask for them? Don't want to gouge and I would like them out of my way too....

If I had them for sale I think I would be able to sell the pair pretty quickly in the $250-300 range. Assuming they are straight and the spindles are in good shape.

They are straight. The pistons pull out all the way without binding and the spindles are good too. The car wasn't wrecked but the guy that owned it made upgrades all over and when the car was sold, the new owner didn't want the old parts. Actually, the owner was killed and his widow sold the car.....and asked me to clean out the rest of the garage. Thanks!
