Hello all, I have an opportunity of purchasing a 73S targa. It is complete with recaro sport seats and what looks like correct fuchs. It is a driver and had a repaint in original color about 13 years ago however the car is not a junker. It looks nice and straight, interior has the usual dash cracks but seats and all panels seems clean. Very little surface rust throughout the car and no structural rust. Original motor was replaced by a 71E motor with Weber carbs on it currently. Original motor and MFI has been long gone so the car is what it is now. It is a nice driver with decent power but just not original. What should I be paying for this car? Should I look for an original E instead or give this car a chance and hope a correct motor might surface some day. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Desperately searching for the right longnose =)
BTW, not searching for a concours car just a nice driver.
Regards
