1968 911L swt value and if it is matching numbers?
 

I have this 911 and was wondering what its value is and if it has matching numbers. Wanted to get it restored if it is worth it. The car has 92000 miles, vin. 11855040, engine# 3280576, trans# 901301101. The color of the car is not correct its suppose to be red(6802). Thanks and Aloha.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1273044447.jpg

I'd say it's definately worth restoration...
 

A matching numbers '68 SWB 911L soft window targa is a rare beast. I think it has many 1 year only hard to find interior trim, but if it's complete with all the odd bits, it would be a shame not to see it restored.

Value, I dunno. It's still a tough market and the uber rich usually want only the finest examples of really rare cars (think 550 Spyder, any race car, real Carrera RS, etc).

I think the lower price level market is still decent for 911's at the $10k-$20k (mainly nice driver 911's) level. I think it's the mid ($40k-$80k or so) market that has slowed (pre '74 911S's, mint E's, etc.) a bit. After the 2008 stock dump, and declining RE prices, many people are trying to build back a retirement safety net and taking it easy on the toys.....

I'd guess in the pictured condition (needs paint, mechanical, and probably interior work - but complete matching numbers) and not running maybe $10k-$15k or so with minimal rust (?). I'd guess $30k nicely restored, but you would probably put that much into it to put it at that level. It's not a '62 Ferrari SWB competition alloy bodied coupe worth $1.5 million restored....

I think one guy on the forum just picked up a freshly painted '77 911 turbo with sport seats and a good interior, decent history (but it needed some mechanical work) for $11.5k, which I feel was about half price, it should fetch $30k or so with the mechanics straightened out.

I wish I had a '68 soft window targa to worry about such things!

Yeah I would say keep it and restore it. I am biased though.

I also have a black 68 911L coupe that should be red. The paint is pretty nice right now to strip and repaint.

I am getting ready to start restoring a 68 911 soft window that is red and should be the bright green, which I think is signal green but would need to check.

Good luck on whatever you decide.

i have a numbers matching 68T SWT for sale on this board. it is red but was silver orignaley. i did some repair work on the front end witch turned out great. it is a nice driver paint is good with the soft window kit in a box. no rust! front pan replaced do to battery corrosion i think it needs new brake lines do to a little puling when brakes are applyed the old guy i bought it from drove it 2700 miles in 12 years he owned it it has 98k on the speedo other than that it is a amazingly solid. this car had to of spent most of it's life in a garage i started my price at $25k but no interest at all ???
