New member...Need help on buying a 1973 911S Targa

I know this subject has been discussed much on values of cars. But maybe this forum can help in a major purchase for me.

A friend has a nice 1973 911S, low miles, 2nd owner. Its a targa, silver (936) but was painted black, friend had car stripped of black and is ready for silver again.

Question of value is in the beholder I know this but just help with a ballpark price please. I plan to see the car on Tuesday it's been awhile in seeing the car. No rust at all the stripping showed no body work or bondo or wrecks.

The car totally original and needs only a new carpet...it would be a once in lifetime for me, but have no idea what to start at...I have seen many prices, no plans to flip just enjoy.


regards

So the knowledge base on the forum is something I respect and I do know a little about long hoods and rust I currently own a 1973 911 T same car but a T.

It depends so much on condition and originality but ballpark 40-95,000.

I will tighten the range $45,000 to $65,000.

Thanks David

But I see many guys make a car out of these, I don't think many good one left.

like yours is a 2.7L car what would that be?.....Sounds very nice but does the engine go south and need a replacement?

Yes, I seen that car and it's a good one but it's been bastard with a 5speed and then original it would be a auto, thanks for estmate
