Value of a '72 T rolling body.

[willcall]

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.

[willcall]

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.

[techweenie]

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.

[willcall]

Fair enough. Even without matching numbers???

[techweenie]

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

[Matt Monson]

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.

[willcall]

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.

[techweenie]

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.

[willcall]

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.

[techweenie]

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?

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.

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

Ps. Rhd makes it more interesting.

[willcall]

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.
