So this is where these questions came from. Figures there is someone on a message board trying to tear apart a car.
This is my car, it is 100% authentic. The chip in the door is pictured to give the buyer a detailed description, this is a clear coat car so it would cost around $250 to repair the chip and re-clear coat the entire door so really it is not a big deal. Trim is black - so just re-trim it: decos $350, window trims $320, wing window frames $250 and you are done, the rest should be black on a late 73.
As far as values are concerned most pelican posts on value will rate a car much lower than reality. They always say a car is worth much less. Buyers and lookers are 2 different people and most of the commentators are not buyers. You have to weigh what is on the market vs my car: 100% rust free car, good original options (yes all parts noted are original Porsche parts and not aftermarket), and finally how well this car drives - its in great mechanical condition. All cars are not the same, the last 911s are worth more than earlier cars because of better equipment/performance. Good driving cars are worth more. You are welcome to poke and prod around everywhere underneath and I guarantee no rust. I am kind of an expert when it comes to finding very good 911 cars so my words have good value. I am not one of the usual dealers who lies to the end of the earth to sell a bad car. I try to have good cars and that saves the effort trying to sell junk.
Anyway I should not be answering this post because it really is pointless to argue with people who are not buyers. I had a deal with a German at $24k who left a deposit and then failed to pay the remainder. So now I am stuck with re-listing the car and trying to sell it again. I do not see many comparable cars on the market regardless of price.
Steven Dick already sold his silver targa with the tan interior, it was a little shinier than mine, I agree but it is now gone.
I mean really am I a bad seller? None of the people who previously bought cars from me thought so:
