I understand the long hood market is on fire. I just don't want to get caught up in the hype and overpay for the car. At $18,000 I will be getting a 911T that I can get in and drive but that has a poor interior, electrical gremlins, a poor repaint and the non original motor will most likely require a rebuild (smokes some on acceleration). From what I am hearing here it is probably worth the asking price which reflects the current market value.
I also own a red 1972 911T targa with original motor and transmission which I will sell if I get this one. I wanted a coupe and bought the targa as a compromise because they were just no coupes available in my price range when I bought it. It is also red my least favorite color.
I'm most likely going to pull the trigger but the owner still might change his mind because is quite attached to it. |
At $18k, even with the hassles, it sounds like a deal. This is a car that begs for the hotrod treatment. Drive it and sort it. Work on assembling your fixes and the money to implement them. In the end you'll have a great car, and the one you wanted, and a KEEPER.
