I have the appraisers opinion of value - I need your help in identifying a “realistic” value for this car in todays market?

The 356 has been appraised by a qualified vintage car appraiser, below are details of the appraisers findings.

My friend has owned the car for approximately 25 years, he is the second owner. It was originally sold in Germany. Original color Bali Blue / 6212 now it is White over Red leather (dash & seats) with added vinyl headrests. The original interior colour was Light Brown Leather, when the current owner changed the exterior colour he also changed the interior colour.

Believed to be original numbers matching, COA indicates:
Engine Number / Type: 805687
Transmission Number / Type: 56936 (741 / 2A)
Production Completion Date: 07/10/1962

1.6 L flat four was rebuilt with approximately 36,839 KM's, dual carbs, dual vent grilles, engine & bay are very clean. 4 speed transmission, VDO gauges are clear, functioning and in excellent condition.

The body is solid, with straight lines and even gaps. Black removable hardtop in very nice condition, the frame and undercarriage are solid and well maintained in very good condition.

Suspension is independent front & rear in very good condition, Steering and brakes in very good condition with tires also in great shape, waiting for confirmation of age.

The wheels are original 10-slot steel/chrome with chrome hub-caps and emblems in very good condition. Door panels are excellent as are the door pockets. Doors, sills and jambs are solid with rubber mats in excellent shape.

Carpets are black/charcoal German square-weave with rubber mats in excellent condition. Trunk is solid and very clean with fully fitted vinyl liner also in excellent shape.

Convertible top/Tonneau cover is black canvas in excellent condition, the weather-stripping is supple and intact in very good condition.

Windows are manual crank with no etching or scratches in excellent condition as is the windshield. Dual mirrors are chrome in very nice shape.
Original Blaupunkt AM/FM push-button radio with front speakers in operable condition.

The bright-work, bumpers and bumper guards, luggage rack, grilles, light & gauge bezels, window trim, emblems are in fine to excellent condition, interior and exterior handles, cranks & mirrors in very good to fine condition.

Overall condition based upon professional appraiser’s opinion is #2 with #1 being Excellent.

Low production 356B T6 Super 90, highly collectible vintage Reutter bodied Porsche, very well done restoration, carefully maintained by owner of several Porsche's enjoyed and properly stored.

Thanks for your help,

I believe specialtyoneince is on with this one. I was going to say $125K. Prices seem to be staying the same - or dropping. Back five years ago $125K would buy you one with bad paint and some rust.

Also keep in mind the color change exterior/interior is going to hold you back from getting top $$$ even if it's a true #2 condition car.
