Hope it is not wrong to ask for this type of advice here. I am looking for advice on what is a fair price to ask for my '79 911SC. I want to get rid of the car and all tools, etc. that belong with it quickly because I just moved to New York and come to CA seldom, but I am hoping not to take an enormous hit either. All input is highly appreciated.
Here is the description of the car:
1979 Porsche 911SC, coupe
Price: $8,000 OBO ????
Miles: 15,000 on rebuilt engine; 292,000 on car.
This is a car with fresh, high-performance suspension and a strong, recently rebuilt, higher compression engine. The transmission will need some work to be good; the exterior is poor due to an accident. I am a former mechanic and have owned this car for over 10 years – hence, I have replaced more items than I can mention, basically everything that wasn’t perfect was replaced up until the accident. The car was essentially cherished and countless things were replaced until I slid the car into a guard-rail about three-four years ago. I moved to New York and need to sell the car and preferably unload all other Porsche related equipment and things. I will be back in California October 13-17 and will be able to show the car then - if you are interested then lets please arrange a time to meet. Sorry I couldn't provide better pictures, I had someone take them for me because I am currently in New York.
Description:
Forest green exterior. Tan interior. Recently rebuilt engine. Fully reworked suspension with a high-performance setup described below. The car has been in an accident; it slid sideways into a guard rail. The damage is only on the exterior – the door opens and everything works. Car used to have A/C; I removed it, all components are available. The transmission shifts poorly into second gear. The stereo and rear package tray are missing due to a break-in. Smog checks were never a problem, either before or after the rebuild (even with the cat bypassed).
