1971 911T Targa Valuation

[Last Call]

Hello - this car has been stored in my garage for the past 16 years. I am moving out of state with no garage space, so I may be forced to sell. (or transport to Colorado from California and find storage)

It is a 1971 911T Targa with a 1968 911L (2.0/901) engine-transmission.
California car - original body - no rust except a dime sized growth in lower passenger door. Gran Prix white - black interior.

It has period correct sport seats. Deep 6 and 7" fuchs, H4's, upgraded suspension
(torsion bars/sway bars)....see pictures.

Car last ran in 1995 - ran great and passed smog and has been stored w/o gas
and oil.

I'd also be selling a clean 1968 rear deck lid and wood VDM (factory) steering wheel from a 911L.

Forum rules indicate that I need to have an asking price, so I would appreciate any input from the experts here as I have not followed pricing for many years.
(or, am I crazy to sell it now?)

Thank-you!

So much wrong about this car and a few things right.
What hurts price:
1) black painted targa hoop and glass frames
2) later model rocker trim
3) rear decklid is from a 2.4 not a 70/71 2.2
4) rear bumper overriders are from a 73 only 911 model as well
5) front and rear blinker and taillight lense and black horn grilles are from a 73 mode as well.
6) all 4 door pockets are all missing (these are expensive)
7)car has been re painted a non original color (the 70/71 factory colors never included Grand Prix white. While its possible that it was special ordered from the factory, based upon the rest of the car, I would expect that the GPW repaint was part of the"update" look the previous owner was looking for.
8) Last but not least, the 68 2.0 non matching number motor hurts the car's collector value substantially

Enough on the negatives. Here are some positives.

1) It's a long hood targa.
2) The targa top looks to be in good condition
3) The car has factory early sport seats.
4) H4's

All of the minuses can be corrected at a hefty cost. If the car is rust and accident free, and is actually in driving condition, I would price it at around $11-13k. You should get something close to that.
Just my opinion. Hope that helps.

I really like the way that car looks. Is there something funny at the left taillight or just a weird reflection?
