I have the opportunity to purchase a 1969 911T sunroof coupe. It is in running condition but has some issues that will effect value. Such as:

- non original color
- non original motor and transmission (has 1971 engine)
- interior very tired (missing some door pockets, dash cracked in numerous locations)
-body good but front pan replaced at some point
- various electrical issues

It is driven daily and is currently licensed for the road. I can get it for around $18,000 but I am a little nervous because of the work it needs. I know prices are up for the long hoods but am unconvinced if non original project cars deserve the same premium.... or am I wrong?

I am not buying it to resell it but intend to slowly restore it while driving it during the summer months. It will never be an "original" car but will look great when I'm done.

Is it worth the $18,000 ? or am paying too much?...after the restoration I will easily double the price. As a comparison I can get an SC in great shape for around the same price ...

The forums advice is greatly appreciated!
