A friend of mine has a six she is considering selling. It is a real nice car, no rust ever, long time owner, etc. Silver car with 14" Fuchs as well as a set of gas burners. Car has been repainted, fresh motor and Dr Evil trans rebuild. Not concours but still a nice car.
I've seen similar cars for sale asking the moon, but wonder what a realistic value is? |

Can't price a car without all the facts, eye's on hands on the wheel and a real grasp of what your buying. Regardless of whether or not a car comes with the original engine the cost to rebuild, reinstall and tune come at a considerable cost. How does that play into the value. Plus or minus?
Then there is the Dirk Wrights disease that comes when the engine come out to put things back the way they should be. Seats get changed, heat exchangers are bad, warts get removed, non-m471 flares get put on. All stuff that is cool to some but eat away at the "collector car value." Then there is the myth that certain vintage 911 engines are worth a kings ransom. Until you try to sell them... I know of two guys that fell for that myth. Had every tom dick and harry kick their tires. No joy. So when looking at a car know what your really looking at. Be willing to pay factory 6 prices if the car is legit, unmolested, correctly painted. (no base clear modern paint jobs) no cool added. Unless the car suits your taste as a conversion with all the lipstick, pushup bras and pumps. And sellers, sell the car for what it is not some fantasy about what it could be "if" you do this or that. This or that cost money in the real world. |
