Value of a '72 T rolling body.matching numbers gear also available.
 

I'm looking at a rolling body 911 T '72. Seller wants 12K. No interior or drive train. No rust either.

What would be a fair price?
I have seen a '71 non matching numbers 911T for sale for $38k needing paint and general freshen up. I don't think I could rebuild this shell for less than that.
Cheers, W.

Fenders? Trunk and decklid?bumper and bumperettes? Oil tank? Suspension and brakes? glass? gauges? What exactly is there? Rolling body is a very vague description.

And your estimation is right. Unless you have a pile of spares sitting around gathering the parts to out it on its feet will be expensive.

I'll have to find out what exactly is included.
I know it has all 'hang on' panels but no bumpers.

It is also a non sunroof version.

I don't know Aus values, but that would be a fair deal here in So Cal if all body panels were included and it was 'no rust.'

You'll spend a ton buying all the rest of the stuff, but a 72 coupe is a pretty special car with continuing appreciation potential -- just my opinion. I buy every one I can.

Fair enough. Even without matching numbers???

Not understanding the question. What numbers are there to match on a roller?

A '72t roller, a ''66 912, a '74 US Carrera and a '75 S. Can you get all 4 for under $40k AU?

[facepalm]

I read that as "Trolling body".

I am spending too much time here. LOL.

Sorry. I wasn't clear. Should have said is it worth it as a complete restoration car when the future engine and box wouldn't be original.

Well, I don't exactly know how to answer that. You asked what the roller is worth. What you do with it if you buy it could go a thousand different directions. I don't mean to be obtuse, but there are restorations that bring cars to 'driver level' and high end restorations and everything in between.

So, making multiple assumptions here: greatest value route would be to locate a type-matching engine and transmission and do a minimal 'sympathetic restoration.' And enjoy the car.

Thanks for the input. I guess as for resale value no matter what way I went I wouldn't get my money back. However, I could build a really fun car for myself.

I'm thinking a 72ST with a 3.2ss PMO ITB EFi.

I think as a rule, even if you find a well documented car with matching *everything* and do even a low-level (sympathetic) restoration you shouldn't count on getting your money back unless you hold on to the car for a few years.

Does anyone have production numbers for 72T coupes?
Left hand drive.

WillCall, I am currently in process of purchasing a 72T coupe. I think any 72 would be a great buy. My guess and it's just a guess, 20 years from now when you are thinking about selling your 72T. Potential buyer is not going to be too worried about not matching numbers. I say your documentation of the build would be good enough, if not better.

Just my .02. I hope you pull the trigger and buy the 72T.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie oi oi oi. My wife is Aussie.

Hi, thanks for your input. Us Damn Aussies are taking over the world!

You make a good point.
This one is RHD.
I will see what u can find out production numbers.

Until your dollar crashed.
Sorry mate. It was bound to end.

Ps. Rhd makes it more interesting.

Tell me about it. Makes buying stuff OS difficult now.

Apparently there were 3000 or so US T coupes made and 2000 odd ROWs made.

Thanks!

I wonder how many 72T's are left now?
Fair to estimate 50% are still on the road?

I hope to see your build. Keep you posted on my 72T.

Good night mate.
