SWB 911 pricing question - help!
I was hoping that someone could help me with some pricing on a SWB 911. I haven't been able to find much pricing information on these early cars, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
A friend of has owned the car for a number of years and is now selling the vehicle. He has given me first shot. Here are the specs: The car has a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity showing it as a 1968 911S, even though in my internet search it looks like a 1967 VIN#. The car does not have a numbers matching engine. The current engine is a 1969 S bored out to 1971 S specs with Webber carbs. It does have the original 901 5 speed transmission. The car has had a top end rebuild within the past several years. The body has been stripped to bare metal, and repainted to a very high standard in Silver (not original color). I have attached a couple of pics. Sorry about the engine shot, it is a picture of a picture since I couldn't figure out how to upload a video. Any help that you guys could provide would be great! Thank you in advance.

Can you post the VIN # and a photo of the COA?
What is the condition of the interior? Any rust or accident repair? More photos and details would help.

I will do my best with the information that I currently have:
Considering the age of the car, I would say the interior is in good condition. Not concourse or anything, but better than fair. The gentleman who owns it has always taken very good care of the car. The only rust or accident repair that I am aware of is some minor rust that was previously repaired on a front quarter panel. This was replaced with a new panel at the time of repaint. I have attached some additional photo's and the COA. Just looking for a current ballpark value on a car like this. Like I said, it is difficult to find comparable vehicles on the market. If it were a complete numbers matching S, I wouldn't have a problem. With the non-matching engine, its been tough to value. Thanks for the help.

The VIN # on the COA is indeed a 1968 911S. Does this number match the VIN # on the actual chassis?
Check the number in the front trunk above the fuel tank.

I won't be able to personally confirm the VIN until next week, but the owner is a good friend who knows the car inside and out. I will confirm, but I trust that he is correct.
Any thoughts on a value? |

I am no expert on pricing, but I have seen restored 1968 911S cars go for over $60,000 with matching numbers.
I don't know what the discount should be with a non-matching engine. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will weigh in. The car looks nice enough.
