Great colors man. Don’t mind some of the posters here. Some of them need to get a girlfriend, and probably a Porsche. There’s only tens of thousands of 911 pics on the net, I don’t think you’d hurt yourself by posting a couple exterior shots. Your call, I can respect that!!

I paid a slight premium for my 74 because it was Lt yellow and it mirrored a car I had in my early 20s. Definitely an emotional purchase! That is a love it or hate it color in my opinion but one of the " bright" colors of the 70's.
![]() I think on Haggertys valuation tool, they add 10% for bright colors. But yours wasn't originally yellow? so not sure it adds, may actually deduct from the value for the purist. Last edited by speedster911; 02-14-2019 at 02:48 PM.. |

Fredie, so I assume signal yellow is the current color? if so, what was the original color. Signal yellow is a great color IMHO BTW.

For the record my old car was summer yellow, but all those old pale yellows are lovely.

At least your old car went a long way toward redeeming itself for that color by sporting a proper tail! |

Its a vintage car! And, I love yellows on vintage cars. Whats not to like about a happy sunny color that puts a smile on your face. And I might add, many cute women like them as well. Just saying. My wife said if I die tomorrow she would sell my other two coupe's and keep the targa.
Hmm who knew?

FWIW I sold a 73 S targa non-matching motor but came with correct #'s case, was not a color change car for just over $100k a couple of years ago. Probably a decent comp for you.

Here is a comp for you.
I think the items mentioned above put your car at a $100-120k when this one is $142k https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2001855 71 911s targa metallic gold all matching numbers Price: 142000 The History of the car goes like this… The first owner purchased the car back in early 71 in San Diego. He drove it for 6 month and than the second owner took over. This Porsche stayed in California and moved from San Diego up to Incline Village near Tahoe and later to Grass Valley. 2nd owner is a very well known Porsche enthusiast (Long time PCA member). He had the car for a whopping 45 years !!! no need to ask about rust or bondo there is none and car is flawless new perelli p6000's factory air ...not installed but have all the parts new clutch rust free original pans front and back any questions please call...i am not an e mailer ... i can answer your questions with one call... will not negotiate anything through email thanks for looking you will not be disappointed ![]() ![]()
