With the changes in market values of air-cooled 911s and swb 912s, I'm trying to figure out the value of my 1976 912E. I do not want to sell the car anytime soon but eventually I want to find a 911 and I need to figure my budget with the value of my 912E in mind. I'm getting concerned that the 911 values are taking off and I don't want to be left in the dust.
Here's the rundown on my 912E that I have owned for 3 years.
2.0 ltr FI
5-speed
Sunroof
Power windows
A/C car but the components are removed and stored
No rust
16" fuchs
Turn-key and runs great. Could be a daily driver in the right climate. I would describe it as driver quality condition.
Exterior is an average quality repaint that is probably 20 years old in non-original midnight blue. Car was originally silver. The paint shines and is not faded. It looks good from a distance but it has chips, scratches, and minor dings throughout. Could use a proper repaint or could be driven as-is. The original chrome and silver trim is worn and pitted but luckily not painted black. Most of the rubber seals have been replaced. No rust. Doors shut with the "ping" sound. Has 16x6 fuchs and is slightly lowered. Flag mirrors.
Interior is really nice. High-back seats have no tears and minimal wear. Door panels are in good condition too. All gauges work correctly. CD player radio not original and speakers added many years ago. Three spoke wheel with recovered leather. Carpet is good. Headliner is perfect. No leaks.
Mechanical condition is great. Engine was rebuilt about 5 years ago (have receipts). Adjustable aftermarket fuel injection. Starts good either cold or hot. Sometimes it takes two cranks when cold. Revs smooth. Shifts through all gears smoothly and clutch is strong. Brakes work great. Good tires. Optima red-top. Leaks some oil. Heat is weak. 152k mi shown but not sure if this is actual.
I have records for the car dating back a little over 10 years. Includes engine rebuild and fuel injection system. Was in Nevada until sold to Missouri owner prior to me in 2002-2003 timeframe.
What do you think it is worth?
