Don't you sell cars all the time out of CT? If so not sure why you need someone else to figure out pricing. Seams like a preview to gain interest which seams to be the norm around here.

Very nice... what was original color? In very nice condition this could be easily a $65,000 car ; as decribed I would say $48,000 to $50,000. People like 72s.

117 is Light Yellow reminds me of my first porsche in 1980 a light yellow '70 E targa..
This car has obviously been gone through and thouroughly appears to have zero rust even
reshot in black chassis,engine may have a top end or better, looking at the overall appearance.
I'd say this could make someone a very nice driver at minumum and certainly previous owners
spent some time and money to get it to this condition at minumum a 50-60K car as it sits
targas do tend to get a negative hit...Bert

Kool thanks guys, it did not look like that when i got ..
.I literally saved it from the ocean air and negelct
1993 with black paint moved one road over from the beach where it sat until 2006 it was listed for sale
the guy didnt have the heart to sell it then and sat more,
not driven to much
I spent the week scrubing cleaning and polishing this S back up
I think it came out pretty good,
MFI Thermostat was never hooked up correctly and the the original
heat exchangers had some leaks
I had a new set of SSI/ SS dansk muffler, new thremo hoses ,points, plug wires, cap
oil change and she seem to drive ilde and revs pulls pretty nice now

Have not seen to many 72S for sale in awhile
One on the earlyS green targa just sold 89K
looked like a driver maybe with new paint,

thanks

I know of a '73 S Targa with no color change, excellent paint and complete new leather interior (sport seats) coming up on the market in a couple weeks at $95K asking. I think it's probably a low 90s car.

This appears to be color-changed very thoroughly, but it's still a color change, so that is a big hit on value to some buyers. It could be a $60-70K car, depending on PPI.

Too much fresh goober on the bottom.... hiding something?? And I can't believe someone tried to paint around the sticker on the engine bay lock post.
