Average sale prices in Hagerty's. Targas that sold topped the coupes. I think it is meaningless. Targa owners maybe shine their cars more than coupe drivers who drive them harder? Who knows? Coupes will pull more like for like condition.
Weissach was a 1980 commemorative job with spiffy appointments and paint. It's really the only SC that was different aside from the handful of slight engine differences between early and late SC's.
You need $10k for a decent paint job. Maybe $2,500 more for seals and all that "while you are in there" stuff . Alternatively, $3,500 and a year of your life in the garage with associated domestic risk.
Top end $5-7k if studs are broken. DIY, $3,000 for a nice job and 150+ hours unless you are a crackin' wrench.
Interior is a different ball game. You have time to sniff and hunt for parts. You can drive it gutted.
Targa top is a long one. You know the drill.
Deal is if you can tolerate less than pretty and you replace what is broken rather than going the full route, you can be running for possibly a few thousand dollars and do your fix thing over a very long time.
I say $7k. Only if color is genuine black.
