Luke,
In all due respect, you clearly don't follow the early long hood market closely. If you did, you would know that a concourse condition 73.5 T will bring north of US$60k. In fact, there is one for sale right now with 26K original miles and the guy is asking $80k. Most people who follow the early 911 market would agree that this car will fetch at least high $50's.
A rust bucket with an engine will go for $3-6 - only if the car is a total piece of junk. That would be the break-up value of the car, assuming it had no Fuchs wheels, no alloy S front brakes, no decent dash, and nothing else redeemable except the engine case and the tranny.
The early cars have been jumping in value the ast 1 1/2.
And the 73 models, which are considered the best of the early cars by many, includes the the 73.5T in particular which is hailed as one of the best all round touring models Porsche ever produced. It is the best of boith worlds: It has the look and feel of the early 911's, but the reliability and efficiency of the later models due to the CIS fuel injection sytsem.
A car with no rust that needs serious mechanical work (i.e. a car that has been sitting for 10-20 years) will go for north of $17k. A 73.5 911T with zero rust which had been sitting for almost 20 years just went on EBay last week for north of $18k.
If yiou show me a concourse 73.5 911T for $30k, I will buy it and give you a $1k finders fee...

The current marketplace for these cars varies wildly. Highly optioned 73.5Ts in true concours condition currently are bringing close to 30k+. Rust bucket w/ engine 3 to 6k. If you are trully interested in buying one start w/ the PCA website, early 911S or Pano magazine. These are the sites that the most reputable cars appear IMO.
