1969 911s

[69911s]

i have a 69 911s that i am thinking about selling but not sure how much i should ask for it. i know it is a 1 year car and many people are looking for them. this is a daily driver right now it has a 69t engine in it but i have the all the original engine parts (apart) but the previous owner had a t case for it. i am selling it because i found an early roadster i would like to buy. was wondering if any one had any ideas on an asking price.

You should post your question on the Early S Registry. They focus exclusively on these cars and many are knowledgeable on values. Your car looks like a definite project to get back to the desired original condition, but you'll need to post more details to get feedback (photos of trunk/engine/interior/underside, data on original color, has it been resprayed, rust, overall condition, are wheels original, etc.). Lack of the original case also lowers value. Not saying the car isn't worth good money, but don't expect the big bucks that the pristine restored cars command.

thanks for all the response but i was hoping for some real insight not just people looking to buy it cheaply. i am not looking for an exact figure but a ballpark number. i already have a 356 A coupe and would love a cab or roadster but it would all depend on what i could get out of mine. i would sell it with both motors and i also have a 2.4 if someone was interested. i will post something on the early 911s registry as well. let me know if anyone has any questions about car that might help me with what i should ask for it as i know the numbers aare all over the chart. thanks

My advice is to put the body back together so that the car is complete and running, order a COA from Porsche if you don't have one, take plenty of photographs of the car and once you have the COA in hand, list the car on eBay with the original engine included at no reserve. Schedule an auction that ends on a Sunday evening or Monday evening, and cross-post the auction here and other places. I think eBay is the perfect venue for a car like yours, and while it may be abit nerve racking to go no reserve, it will bring the highest price. With the few photos and limited info that you have provided, it is hard to give anything but a wild-a** guess of value, but my wild-a** guess is somewhere between $25k-$50k. Prescott Kelley had a good article on values in a recent Panorama, but it is important to keep in mind that the numbers he suggests are for investment quality cars. The current condition of your car is far from this, but it can give you an idea to work backwards from. A concours winning 69S was listed on eBay recently with a $129,000 BIN, and an $80k starting bid (with reserve) that did not sell. Search for completed sales on eBay for an idea of what is selling and for how much.

Kool car and worth alot right now .
if you have the matching case and MFI who knows 100K maybe
these early S everyone whats one or two .

it is worth fixing up best you can to get correct as possible

I don't think the market is at the point where a 69S coupe in need of restoration can bring $100k, but a correct well-restored numbers-matching example in a good color can certainly achieve $100k+ in the proper venue. If you undertake a complete restoration of the car, unless you do the bulk of the work yourself, your incremental return will likely be less than the incremental cost.

Everyone wants a gazillion doller original S they are however far and few in between even
some profesionally restored cars are finding it difficult to acheive these rarified numbers for
that reason original paint and interior /body cars seem to be getting all the money.
Particularly in this instance lack of original case dictates a considerable loss,even a non matching S case of correct year and type would be better but not the chouce for purists.
Original color and options as well as condition seem to be getting all the money these days
which is considerable.
I would venture without the matching case ,nor S engine installed your probably looking at
a sub 25K car still good money when a few years back that was the top of the market...Bert
