likely to be putting my 75S (smog exempt) up for sale in the spring and was looking to get some opinions on what i might consider listing it at.* also looking for thoughts on what venue id be best served listing it at, BAT, pelican classifieds, etc.*

toby, no!...

No Guard LSD? Not a cent over $35k.

Oh look what M2 just posted in another thread.

Word on the street is that he might just be interested in a car like yours.

Pay top dollar for it as well but you gotta grovel and be nice.

GLWS !

Do your homework. Go to BAT click on the box that includes your model. You will find prior sales here. Click on the more button to keep looking at additional sales. These are true/real numbers. You're not relying on opinions, it is facts from previous sales, or no sales.

car is kind of a bastard so doing homework is going to be tough. there are a number of guys here that are very versed on a wide range of cars so here i am with my valuation request. thanks for your suggestion though none the less.:rolleyes:

I think a sorted pre emissions hot rod should do better than $35k. I bet you could get mid $40’s.

Car looks great. This is a tough question.

I would replace the rear bumper with a stock or better still a euro bumper.

Possibly add a P O R S C H E Stripe to the side.

Sell on BaT.

I think it should be worth minimally $50,000.

I would also consider reaching out to Paul @ AutoKennel
https://autokennel.com/

He does very well selling this type of car and is an expert of the market.

Here is a recent sale; https://autokennel.com/featured_vehicle/1974-porsche-911-rs-sport-purpose-coupe/.

That was a joke. I think he should ask $45k if he’s going to list it here. And it could get closer to Mac’s $50k number if listed on BaT and he gets a couple guys with wood for it.

It's been so serious around here I can't tell when anyone is joking. ;)

BAT is a wild card. Like you said, couple of guys get wood and he could get $50k.
Put some Martini stripes on it and shoot for $80k. :D

I agree Stripes sell hot-rods on BaT...

The description sounds amazing. But then the pics leave a bit to be desired. The exterior is not looking so hot. I feel like a visual details would go a long long way to your final hammer drop.

If it were my car, I would outright copy Magnus Walker's SC, maybe not his color scheme (Or even maybe!)
I think even if you don't copy the color scheme, you absolutely need to throw on a baby IROC front and get the front and rear bumpers painted before you consider listing. The wheels don't match the outlaw vibe. I'd black them out. Your target audience likes blacked out wheels. You gotta kill that cheap ass mirror too. Vitaloni Toronado's are really cheap feeling and looking.

Put some better air cleaner covers on and maybe send some of the linkage out for plating.

You would pull 50+ with sexing up the exterior. I feel like 35 as it sits now.

Whenever you sort all this advice out Toby, and you finally take pics, get the right light angle. Take it from a fashion model (former), especially that first photo leaves something to be desired. The engine photos are good!

Classically restored fuchs, and chrome or painted headlamp rings will go a long way on this one

It’s too made for him, so the car is his thoughts, nice car, looks very nice, somethings can be reversed, if need be.....or new buyer loves it
It’s still very difficult to get top dollar or even near a good 75S, it’s a toy with no clear long term valve. I say $35,000, take it, problem is people have cars with a lot of add ons or upgrades and that’s ok, but it’s market appeal is reduced.

Without all the chrome I think this would be wasted effort. Some kid will like that it's all murdered out.

If you take it to BAT I agree with 75 911s. The side script and black hood could work out.
You could get both wraps from CarBone for around $300.00. It would really bring out the look that sells.

This is a well built car and would be a steal @ $35,000.

I do like 75 911S's ideas and assume this is exactly what a flipper such as BaT "super auctioneer" 911R would do to sell it for $100,000.

Yep. Mid 30's -mid 40's up and comers. Now on the flip side, I'm restoring a low miles original 77. I'm keeping it 100% original. I think both have their target audience.

Swap the rear bumper to euro to match the euro front...

$35k? Car would go fast for that money.
Mid $40's for sure, but probably not here.

I think a BaT ad that includes in process build pictures and some name dropping of Dan and others who helped with it and it will break $40k with 3 days left. It just needs to be pitched right so people can see what it is. I personally consider built by Toby a certain kind of provenance. This is a nice nuts and bolts home built hot rod. Sell it as such.

thank you all that took the time with your opinions on price, what i should consider doing to make it more appealing to the market, and kind words on the car. a few things-

i am so done crawling around under a 911 these days in my mid 50's. i built a spec911 racer in my garage 10+ years ago, and then did this car starting in Nov. of 2017. id like to get a good price for it, but frankly I don't have the energy or the passion to be swapping bumpers, placing tails, replating carb linkage, coating H4 trim rings, mirrors or looking to copy anything magnus walker did. i believed somebody suggested blacking out the fuchs and a few noted some martini stripes/side scripts and those are things i would consider doing for a sale. if nothing else this thread has brought that to my attention.

someone mentioned the photos. i am aware the that in order to get it sold I will need to have something professionally done even if i have to tow it to the valley, Sac, or even pay a bit more to have a photog come up to me. there are a number of forested areas in addition to a couple of now defunct lumber mills with a ton of old rusty machinery and buildings. seem like the BAT folks eat that stuff up.... i will make sure this one is in the add...:D

im hoping the value i saw in the car remains and may draw interest in the current market. smog exempt, which is a huge plus in CA and CO and possible other smog testing states. i realize many of you guys are in areas where smog testing is not a concern, but here in CA this bit IMO carries a great value. heck, where some of you are a 75 would have rusted into a pile by now..;) the light weight nature of the car with the sunroof delete and crank windows were things that really drew me to the car. im hoping that this example for a $40-$45K car and a buyer with the passion, energy i don't have and another $20K could make this a top notch, head turning hotrod.

again, thanks for the time and comments afforded here. i would take the 40-45 after a detailing, some striping bling the way it sits in a minute. i want out because im just not driving it up here with the narrow seasonal opportunities. and lastly thank you M2 for the very kind words below regarding me personally, and a description of "pitched to the right person" which is the guy im alluding to in the above paragraph.


and Mac, who is this juan guy you refer too?:D

Cut it out. What are you 5 years old?

i thought he went away after he was made aware of how many of the regulars felt about his act recently. it was a nice week with him absent from here so there is that.

Got any offers yet Cavie ?

sold!

Seeing as how I found that car on CL for you, when you were looking, I feel kinda sad the journey is over.

The journey is never over! Congrats Toby on the sale! What are you planning now if anything on Porsche? Investing that money may be a good idea like in the stock market perhaps. You don't need another Porsche necessarily even though you may have the temptation. Whatever you do, you'll be loved the same here, 911 or not. Remember that, and please don't buy a Porsche Junior...

Nice.

she gone.

Booo!

Does he have room for one more? He can have mine.

I actually have a local coming to look at mine this weekend. He wants to go RS rep with it. He even already has front fenders and bumpers to replace mine. Wish me luck.

good luck. glad to have it gone with very little in the sales effort. never even placed an add, this thread was all it took.

the guy is pretty excited and has big plans for it as he told it going to repaint it in the original what i believe mexico blue. still some showing deep in the trunk area. hope he takes it to where i might have had i any energy or enthusiasm for it.

opted out of going to look at that GT4. not prepared to spend that much at entry or yearly on insurance and registration. swinging to and fro over a 09-12 cayman S (not an six speed to be found) and a WRX. not in any hurry though to move on anything.

toby, drive the WRX if you haven't already. i've had two of them, came to hate both of them. i imagine coming from a 911 you'd be less than enthused with one of those tin cans.

i'll likely try out a cayman myself, i like those cars...

You’ll never forgive yourself if you sell that car. Also, change the rear bumper.

...

appreciate your thoughts, but it's pretty apparent you did not read any of the thread so your take is less helpful than you thought it might be.

i had an 03 bugeye wagon some years ago and know what you are saying about quality v. a porsche. im at this point open to both options and am in no hurry to do anything. a cayman is the 1st choice.

So, what's it worth ?
