68 Tangerine 912 - Widow Protection
This is for a friend of a friend.
I hate it when buyers take advantage of widows. I am hoping to convince her to hire techweenie to help her out. Part of that is giving her a value. Actually she is already somewhat "protected" as someone told her 15K, someone else told her 12-20K just looking for ballparks needs steering wheel work, pockets elastics all original panels - great fit - no rust, amazing mechanicals 10 year old nice respray but windows in

The exact same car but with original faded and chipped paint is currently for sale here in Colorado through a broker for $16k.

original chipped, faded paint would have more value. I would discount for a respray, especially a windows-in. But that one in Colorado seems like a deal.

Looks like a nice original '68. Uncut door panels. Side reflectors. Dash appears to be in good shape as do the speaker holes. Original radio. Black plate with a cool number. Possible dealer installed Talbot mirror. I'd venture a guess in the high teens.

The price of 912s has certainly risen, but the repaint will hurt this one, as well as any "needs xxxx work" statements. The thing to do would be to repair any little things like the steering and get it mechanically A1, then your only discount is the repaint or any cosmetics. I'm sure she isn't interested in taking that route, so I have to say that somewhere between $10k and $15k is where I think it should land. 1968 is a dog year for 912s because of the love it/hate it interior styling and the 1-year-only catalyst system. On the up side the color is great, and if it's fairly solid mechanically that's always a plus. Any 912 I've seen get to the $15k mark or beyond has been exceptional in some way, and this one doesn't appear exceptional.
She should do fine!
