Thread: 1972 911T Raspberry red VALUE?

  1. #1

    1972 911T Raspberry red VALUE?

    Please help us establish a reasonable insurance value to this 1972 Raspberry Red 911T


    My sister has owned this car for 30+ years. She has been the only driver of the last 55000 miles. We will be getting a new appraisal soon but, we are not sure what the rare color adds to the value. We appreciate your thoughts.
    Lately prices have been hard to track, my thinking is in the area of $100,000 but I don't really know. I'm not sure what if any extra value should be added for this unique color.
    Sunroof and lights, also premium leather seats, 65000 original miles, all matching numbers, no rust.

    The car has it's original paint with all the little chips, it has always been garaged and properly cared for, it's in super condition.
    This car is not for sale.

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    If I owned that car I would insure it for 100k due to:

    low mileage
    unusual color
    long term ownership

    You likely have one of a handful if not the only one left in that color in original paint

    "not for sale" I have $200K that says you are wrong - wonderful "not for sale" "for sale" marketing campaign

    That was a color offered in 72, but the car has a load of options that probably put it above a 911E in selling price. For one, the spoiler/bumper is very rare on a 72T, as it was new to the S that year. If indeed original paint, with that bumper being as-delivered, I'm quite sure that is a "one of one" car. As such, I think $125K is a better number for insurance purposes. It is essentially irreplaceable.

    I had a 72 S in exactly that color, I hated the color at the time, today it looks incredible. Beautiful and very special car.

    There are several 72 only things going on with that car like the oil fill door on the quarter and that "S" bumper among other things. I would insure it for 125k all day long if that is the original paint. I have a 914 that is the same color from the factory. One of three known in that color. I dig it.

    I do remember the car as new, the paint has not been touch, it did come from the factory as shown in the 1st photo. Miles are correct (in this photo taken in 2012) and still climbing

    Thanks again,

    Dennis
