Please help with value: 73.5T
Hi to all. In question is a 1973.5 CIS Coupe in mostly factory original Sepia Brown. This vehicle has been in my family since 1978, in my garage since 1989.
It is rust free. The hood and front valance ('S' package) have been repainted (paint chips, no accident), the drivers door has been repainted (banged into garage, and repaired), there are half a dozen minor dings that paintless dent removal could remove. Never an accident, except the driver door scrap.
Interiorwise: uncracked dash, nice leather wheel. all original carpet, headliner with a little brown glue showing on edges, passenger seat perfect, driver seat a one inch vinyl section broke out, but saved. Rear fold down seats perfect with one seat belt added. No sunfoof. Owners Manual packet (books).
915 transmission was resealed and resyncro'd (1st, 2nd 3rd- tech said it all looked like new inside). Oh, under 96K miles, with all records.
2.4L Engine was fully rebuilt around 78,000 miles. When I last changed the oil I notices some tiny metal flakes in oil (Mobil1). Sent it off to a tester in TN and he said no problem. Had Gary Wigglesworth of TransLog check an oil sample and he had said he didn't see a problem, either. So, maybe it is a problem and maybe it isn't.
Lets leave it at presented, but unknown.
Clutch had 50% wear, when trans was out- should have replaced disc, but was out of $ money at that point.
Oil gauge shows low oil pressure-an ancient known problem. Compression is good. The oil return tubes need to be replaced- this is why I stopped driving it. Gas in tank needs to be drained and replaced. Needs a battery(converted to 1 side 12 volt).
Has 15 inch Fuch wheels and XWX's which are hard as nails, but look SO correct. It is lowered a little in the rear.
I've had a couple offers around $10k and am wondering if this is a fair price point. I could let it go as is, or repair the minor things. Problem is that I am uninspired and lacking free time.
I would be glad to hear any thoughts you folks might have. Even though I get Pano, they don't cater to my 911 anymore. Thank you!
