Value of 1969T coupe

gscottyp · 06-05-2013, 07:00 PM

About four years ago, I bought this car from a friend who had let it sit for years in a covered carport, with the noble intention of addressing the most pressing mechanicals first and paint/body in the future. I've had most needed suspension work done, replaced the tires, replaced the rotten exhaust with headers and stainless muffler, and had it tuned up. It goes, stops and turns pretty well, and doesn't pull when driving or braking. The pictures tell the story of the body: some prior owner tried to update it, and it was painted a pearlescent white (it was originally Ivory). The floors need to be replaced. It's had accident damage repaired on the passenger rear. At one time it had A/C, but that's mostly all been pulled out. My wife backed into the drivers door at slow speed, and that door skin (along with the passenger door skin) will need to be replaced. It has its original motor according to the COA, but the COA says it was born with a five speed transmission, and it has a four speed. It is a fun driver, handles well (but has a bit of a high idle) yet I know that I'm not going to take it any further. Gauges (except clock, intermittently) work, but speedo reads a little high. Seats were replaced with aftermarket Recaros. Odo shows about 6,900, so I'll assume that's only turned over once. COA says it came with chrome wheels, so I'll further assume the Fuchs are fakes (how to tell?). I'm new to the forum, and welcome your comments, suggestions and advice. Thanks! Scott

Nice car! I might be biased though, with a 1970 911T that also has a four speed transmission and a speedo that reads a little high. I might even have the same tires!

My rear bumper looked the same as yours when I got it, that was an easy fix. You can unbolt what's there and bolt in a new or used panel and chrome bumpers, that will make a huge difference for a few hundred (or less) dollars.

The wheels look pretty good, and might be real. You need to take them off and look for a Porsche part number. I'd also consider chrome rings around the headlights.

No idea on value - depends on rust.

I'd put the value at $9-10K. It needs a lot of work, as you know. The floor replacement alone will likely run $6-7K. It needs time on a jig because of the accident history. Etc., etc.

So, you think $12K for a running, driving car (with certain needs) would be a stretch?

No. You could get that. You might have to wait a little, but you could get that.

Scotty,

do you mind sharing what you sold it for?

It certainly went quick!

$12K. Multiple interested parties.

Sold cheap... running/driving and mostly complete longhood = $18K to $20K even if it is a driving restoration project.

Hmmm. All is relative. Funky looking car, imo.

Look at that right rear fender(bender), black painted underside etc. etc - but might be well worth the parts.

Congrats to the seller!
