Sure seems like someone stole this one ('70 E)
 

If the description can be believed...

I think its a decent price for the car, nice looking driver with a 911T engine dropped in and built to E specs. Europe might affect the market, but who else in NA is buying these now? I would have to think the market is tanking, and I expect to see prices return to sensible levels, just like it did the last time the classic car market bubble burst. I don't think there are too many buyers left to vastly overpay anymore.

Read again, it comes with two engines the original E and a T that's in it. The car looks nice for the price and with two engines I'd say great deal. Then to make matters worse it was only 15 minutes from me and I didn't see this until today :eek:

I think the current market is showing:

E +20%

Conda +20%

Combination of a recent recognition of the value of the E and the recent rise in popularity of the colors we sprayed over in the 80s (except maybe Sepia Brown).

assuming there isn't major rust on the chassis, that's a steal.

put the original engine back in, change out some of the weird details (like the black door handles and the cheap aftermarket wheel and shift knob), detail it out, market it like heck and double your money!

That car was a hell of a steal! Put the original engine and fix the oil leak. Then do some detail work (put correct wheels, trim, etc.) and you have a $35k+ car. The extra 911T engine would pay for all the work needed to bring it to that price.

I don't think the original engine might not be part of the deal, but I still think it is a good deal.... It sort of depends on how much the original engine is tho...

Read the questions section.....

"No it does not have AC, the engine in the car is a T engine but the E engine comes with the car to the highest bidder at no extra cost."

Steal and it was only 15 minutes from me.....

Not to hijack the thread but I must ask:
My car was resprayed in '90 and the paint still looks good, but it is sepia. Would my hazy daydream of someday having the car painted white or silver kill the value? It's a #s matching non sunroof T coupe with under 75k on it.

I have no delusions that 2.2Ts are the next 4 cam 356s, but I also want to limit the # of poor decisions I'll make in the future w/this car...

IMO, longhoods will continue to rise in value due to scarcity alone but the degree of rise will be based on several factors including model, condition and "originality." Right now, you have a car that may not be the most desired model, but it is low mileage (which may indicate good overall condition), numbers matching, and original look (as opposed to "original" which I mean to be untouched and unchanged from factory delivery.) I would say that a change of color will effect the value in that buyers who would pay the higher prices would want the car to be as "original" as possible.
If the car was mine, I would not do a color change. You never know, Sepia may be the next Conda.

Here's my take.

Techweenie arranged the deal on my '73T (MFI). It's a nice driver. Pretty low mileage (around 84K now) and is a light-ivory respray of an original Sepia car.

Color change from Sepia would probably be the least hit on value compared to other colors if done properly.

My opinion is that unless you have a really original car do what you want to it as long as you do a quality job at it. Personally, I would enjoy the ownership of a Conda Green car that had a quality color change over a Sepia car.

Sepia would probably put off as many buyers as a repaint to a more desirable color would. So probably a wash....

Hey! Some of us are proud of the fact that we can do paint touch up with a dirty diaper! :D
