Really? I have not seen their values going up "quickly". I think that as long as you can get a good 911SC in the teens and a good Carrera in the twenties, then the middies are going to still be priced below an SC. As SC and Carrera prices go up, then I think we'll start to see a shift in middie values, especially for ones that have had the engine issues addressed.
Personally though I have torn down three of these engines and found pulled (not broken) head studs in each case (in each case). If fixed right I see no issue with these cars and why they can't fetch a good price. But if your car has not had a documented repair to the case, then I would have to assume (despite good compression numbers) that a rebuild will be needed in the near future. That would put the value of a rust-free, running example with rough interior at $10K tops (for me). If you can actually check and torque the head studs and verify that they are all tight, that might add some value or at least make the sale easier.
Great color by the way!
