need honest value on my 77 930 turbo

[dhg1337]

I would like to get some honest opinions on what my 1977 930 is worth .Can't hurt my feelings.

This was a fun project. I am about done with. As you know you are never done with these toys. I got my eye on something else. No I am not a mechanic. You better be if your buy one of these old relics.

I am thinking $32k

no service history,not original paint, so all the Germans STOP READING maybe just for parts

1977 930 turbo, USA model ,rare sunroof delete, AC, LSD, 90 K miles, been in California for a long time, unmodified,stock, lowered ride height, no rust, no major accidents.



Original Blue leather leather interior, front dash and rear speaker shelf changed to regular black due to warping. I have color matched dye to change, leaks a little at front shifter seal, Engine has had Carrera tensioner upgrade, head studs have been changed at one time, engine pulled, almost all gaskets and seals replaced, had one intake valve sticking, head rebuilt, replaced one cam ,had rocker arms and shafts reconditioned. engine runs great now, Turbo kicks in nicely, 0.8 bar, Innovate LC1 to keep an eye on AFR's, No Major accidents, front drivers fender may have been replaced. Original Fuchs, New tires, nothing fancy, just original size. Car is as clean on the bottom as on the top. All gauges work, auto heat works. Car still needs a few things, alignment, bit off from when I changed the front Koni struts. Brakes though new need a little tweaking. Only driven it a few times, brakes get better each time i drive. pretty smooth on the hiway.alignment should be offa little from when I changed the front Koni struts but it goes down the road straight and no wobbling. Camber is probably off, but not noticiable.

Here is a list of stuff:
Extensive top to bottom restoration. If a part was worn or none functional it was replaced with good used or new parts. All rusted or poor looking parts where bead blasted and painted. AC equipped originally, missing compressor and rear lid evaporator.
Head studs changed at one point in the past, now steel, magnet sticks to them
Engine had great compression tests except for #6. The intake valve was not closing. Engine/transmission pulled. Oil tube in cam carrier was plugged. Hole is normally the size of a needle. This caused the valve to become stuck open due to lack of oil. One cam reground, 6 rocker arms, 6 rocker shafts refurbished, by Dougherty Cams.

seems reasonable @ $32k given the description. postive to me it's stock since the 76-77s build numbers are low. i have seen others asking not much lesss money that you are and the cars were not attractive.

[jr993]

Very nice. "USA Model" with euro-sidemarkers? Seems like prices on these are stronger than they were 10 years ago.

[dhg1337]

It is a USA model, per vin # Thats why I wrote one of the fenders may have been replaced. Need to add one on the other side. Can't be perfect, that going to cost more.

Can anyone ID what else is not correct on the outside.

If your car is as good as it appear it's worth 32 all day. I think the early Turbos (75-79) especially real clean stock ones, are going to be really strong going forward. If you've got time I'd ask 36 I think you'll get it

These cars are artwork. I agree $32 is reasonable.....
