911 carrera / turbo hotrod value
HI Guys, I bought a nice USA 911 a couple months ago, its a 1975 US Carrera #029, however its far from original. Its a currently a 965 Replica. Its been raced alot and done very well, but still a street car. It has a 1987 3.3 turbo motor and 915 trans with a bunch of upgrades, maybe 350 to 400 hp. Upgraded intercooler and twin oil coolers. All suspension is upgraded and has solid bushings.
Anyways, I'm curious as to a rough value of it for insurance purposes. I don't know if I should get an appraisal or just go with the value of a stock 1975 Carrera? I know what I paid for it, probably more than I should have, but i know that it would easily cost twice as much to build so I'm totally fine with what I paid. I'll post what I paid for it, but first I want to see what others think its value should be. The body is in great shape, the car was stripped to bare chassis about 15 years ago, had steel turbo fenders installed. It has only seen limited summer racing and driving since. No rust visible anywhere. Thanks!

Appraisal. If you (presumably) paid more for it than the value of a '75, why would you even consider insuring it for less?
Post more pics too |

What could you buy a similar car for is what the value should be set at. But are there similar cars?
I know nothing about modded cars, but it looks very nice and well built for a non stock car. |

Theres such a range of values to these cars depending on a number of things, and I really have no idea what its worth or what a stock 1975 911 is worth, I figured in the $20 to 30K range for a good clean version. Perhaps I should get a new appraisal. I paid $35k, some have said its great value, others say too much, i'm fine with it tho. Its a cool car with most of the goodies I wanted. If I had started fresh with a clean stock similar 911 car and did all the mods it would have cost a lot more money than $35 K.

Sounds cheap if it is straight. I would have said 50k. But then again I no nothing...I am from Copenhagen.

You should pay what you think it's worth to you and not give a damn what anyone else thinks, I personally think you got heck of a lot of car for $35k.
Enjoy! Phil |

True, I'll probably go for a 930 tranny if / when the 915 grenades.
