A "not rusty or wrecked" 2.2 S coupe should be worth $45K and up depending on a whole lot of details, but primarily paint quality. Were the door jambs painted? On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the paint? Was the trim damaged in the paint process?

A tracked car is usually worth less.

Missing a lot exterior bits --- like the bumper, turn-signals, deco. Early 80s plate, funky speaker grill --- hope the dash is nicer, interior looks like its almost MiA, wheels, etc --- car'll need serious money/attention/fortitude to put back.

If the pans, outer rockers, gaps, and documentation (CoA, etc) check out? . . . ask $50k/take $40k. Ditch the 'Traps, dress it up with correct/stock wheels on fresh XZXs? Might add $5k. Make sure its running right --- MFI scares people.

Then again, this is so NOT a hobby car.

Provided all the big stuff checks out . . . you're Buyer will probably be a Pro, probably Off-shore. With 'done' cars bumping six-figures . . . this car'll get flipped --- probably as fast as the Buyer can get shop time somewhere.

Wanna make some money? Fix the exterior trim, get the correct front bumper and wheels, add a presentable interior --- skip anything fancy, just read the CoA --- then? Flip it yourself! For another $10k, it's a $70-75k car.

Still wanna sell?

Either way . . . good luck

A very nice 2.2 s just sold in TX for 30k and it was nicer, more complete. Was offered on 2 known boards first at 39k then 33k.

There are not many good s cars for sale but I am sorry, do not see them as 75k cars right now unless super clean/original and even then they do change hands for 65k, just not out in the open.

Clean it up and worth 40k I just don't think so, needs mechanicals,interior, paint, chrome, wheels and weather strip and still no sport seats? That is 40k right there.

Operative word here is complete,the car that sold if it's the one I saw was more
complete in terms of original equipment.
I believe from what photos displayed here this could be a nicer car,newer paint
better condition mechanicals,,and suspension.
Most of the prior posters are giving the perspective of a few of the forums
originality sells and gets all the ,money.
There currently is a discussion of a "hotrod" perse being able to compete with
a more original example on the early S registry.
I think this car fits quite squarley in that box ,been hotted up not to severely
to return to stock but the expense to do so is prohibitive and to what end?
Will it garner dollar for dollar more stock than as is?
I think its a pretty nice example ,nice paint,wheels,suspension general condition
a little more track oriented interior than is really saleable and the super traps
really should be changed out and sold on their own to really do them justice.
For the amount it could cost to return some if not all of the exterior and interior
to near original you certainly will lose on an as is sale. Just my .02 Bert
Probably a very solid 30-mid thirties as is 40 and up with whatever corrections
can reasonably be done.

'Numbers'
 

Mr Mayo's car?

Nice car.

Nice Seller.

Nice non-matching numbers engine.

Deduct 30%-50% . . . nicely. ;)

IMO, the values for a numbers-matching '70-'71 911S:
1) in pieces, condition 3- = $40-50k
2) intact, complete, and running, w/ MFI, condition 3+ = $70-75k
3) restored/condition 1-2 = ~$100k
4) original/unrestored/condition 2+ = lotto

I wouldn't rely just on CL, Trader --- or Pelican, etc. Advertise in a publication that circulates in Europe. Or find a Broker. May take a bit more time to sell, but the 2.2s are special, Porsche's last hi-compression (pre-smog) motor, and --- after 40-years --- in short supply.
