Help needed valuing 1973 911S Viper Green

[RSTarga]

So a "true enthusiast" must hot rod and put custom paint on his car? I call BS on that.

My definition.... a true enthusiast DRIVES their car, original, modified or whatever.

What the h*ll is a true enthusiast?

The problem is that we have two very different categories of cars here. We have cars for the hobbyist and cars for the collector. I hate to burst the myth here but collectors do actually drive their cars.

This driver vs. non-driver thing is getting really silly. Everyone I know who has a running 911 drives it. Some drive their 911s more than others. That's to be expected.

The real question is at what point does a 911 become a collectible item.

Is a 1973 911S truly collectible or is it still a hobbyist car?

I think the '73 RS has passed into the collectible category. Once a car gets over $1,000,000 it's hard to call it a hobby anymore.

btw - I know any number of people who drive multi-million dollar cars. Take a look at the cars on the Colorado Grand.

We just need to stop all this "I drive my car" nonsense. We all drive our cars.

See, the two most knowledgeable and true owners of similiar cars almost pick the same price. I have one similiar to this except my engine remains 2.4.

Eh eh ... thanks for calling me "knowledgeable" ... I'm just an amateur, at best

. . . matching numbers car.
The original color is Viper green or Emerald.
All blue is done in vinyl, except for the front bumper. It is a combination of paint half blue half green on the bumper and Porsche script in vinyl.
I have and will include all stock parts needed to return car to stock look and interior.

I will post pictures of the interior and underside of the car in the next couple of days . . .
