1972 911T Targa

[Wiese]

Hi:

I'd like your input on the following:

- 1972 911T Targa, complete car, numbers matching, MFI
- Parked for last 5 years, started irregularly
- Engine turned by hand, but we did not try to start it
- Car is still a longhood, but had a spoiler added, doors from an SC, and fiberglass flares
- Rust is minor and mostly surface: All suspension points, front pan, floors, rear seat pans and parcel shelf look good.
- Has 18 in BBS wheels (RC) in very nice shape and Carrera Sport seats in great shape.

I was thinking that that you could sell the BBS wheels for $600 (VW or BMW crowd), the sport seats for $1000, the rear spoiler for $300. Buy some cookie cutters for $400 and a decklid grille for $200 to get the car looking more period correct again (not concourse of course). This would net $1300 (I have some regular seats to put in already).

Car obviously needs a lot of work, but it's all there and there is no structural rust. How much would the market value be for it? What would a fair price be to buy it?

Some pics:

Turbo Spoiler (bad)



Still a longhood (good)



You can see the newer doors added



BBS wheels



Not bad on the right side either



Targa roof needs recovering



Interior, not bad



That '72 special oil filler flap

Does not look too bad. You never said how much the car is selling for?

The seats can be hard to sell and maybe not worth $1000. It's hard to buy a long hood deck for $300 plus the grill. The deck on there now, must people do not want...value?

The replaced doors, might not hurt but interior side is wrong, MFI is good but very expensive to deal with or can be if no good mechanic ......I could go on....but price will dictate a good deal, much missing. Is you goal ti get it back to a 1972 vintage?

$3k a good buy. From the pics. it looks salvageable.

In this market I would pay $6-$7K no problem. A car like that lasts 10 minutes on Craigslist in Southern California. On eBay if that thing had a BUY IT NOW at $10K someone would hit the button. I would get it and sell off all the crap and not bother about what you were getting for all that crap - just pull it off the car and sell it on the parts forum - I know its always best to try to figure out what you can get for the parts you are removing, but get the car and sell them off for whatever you get. That way you can focus on the car, not selling the crap.

Too bad I don't have the time for another 911. This one sold for $2500, not bad. Could have flipped it I guess, but that would have taken time too.
