1973 911E Targa. Repaint. Non-orig interior and engine.
Someone I know was looking at a 1973 911E Targa.
Seems like a cool car, but more driver quality. Repaint. Average quality. Non-orig Interior: sport seats, door cards, sport steering wheel. (Adds or subtracts value?) Non-orig 3.0 motor from an SC (Adds or subtracts value?) Unknown mileage since replaced speedo. Any guesses on market value? It seems these cars typically sell from $40k to $70k.

Rust affects the value greatly. Non original interior is a big reduction in value. A 3.0 engine is also a reduction in value. Generally any mod is going to reduce the value. Especially in a long hood. Without pics it's hard to give a firm value but it sounds like you're closer to the bottom of your range.

How do we reconcile tribute cars that sell for $100k?
When do mods go from subtracting value to adding massive value?

A good rule of thumb, I think, is that a 3.0 does not add value when it replaces an MFI original engine

At this very moment in 2017, I'm not sure that a 3.0 transplant in any 1965-1989 911 adds value - nowhere near like it did and I believe it never will again.

When they are done as part of a full restomod with a plan rather than a band aid fix for something that is broken. A tribute is essentially a purpose built replica and priced accordingly. |

Many BAT tribute cars look good from afar but are far from good.

Years ago many advised to keep the numbers matching engine when doing a swap. That's what I did when I put a high compression 3.2 in my 73.5.....Owned for 26+ years and no plans to sell, but next owner should be happy?
