Hello,
I can buy a Porsche 911T 1970 . I think it is a good base for a restauration . Problem is that the enigine is not matching (it is type correct, 2.2 liters) . how much effect does have the not matching enigine on the price of the car? Thank you in advance for your opinions.
A restoration will cost between $150,000 and $200,000. Right now the best you can do on a 911T is $80,000. Even that number is problematic. You have to have an absolutely perfect 911T to get $80,000.
When you're all done with this car you won't have a perfect car because of the engine. You're going to be seriously upside down on a restoration.
On the other hand if you just buy the car and enjoy it you could have a lot of fun. There's a huge difference between enjoying a 911 and investing in a 911. You need to decide which way you want to go with this car.

Where did you come up with this estimate, c'mon are you in the business. Break this estimate down for us will you, that's BS in my opinion. So every restoration of an early 911 is a low of $150,000 up to $200,000. If your in the business you can't be getting much work.Originally Posted by Richardnew

Plus it doesn't really answer the OP's question.
The non matching value hit as a topic has come up on this forum numerous times.
10-15% on an "average" car is what folks were saying a few months back and I agree. The market may penalize it more if it is a unique or special order car (e.g. highly optioned, rare color, S). As the collectibility factor increases, the matching numbers may matter more.
You may benefit from learning how to search the forum for a wealth of info:

Somewhere in the 20s would be a fair purchase price if you have to do a bit of work to get it to where you would enjoy driving without excuses. My .02 cents worth. To make a real value judgement a lot more detail would be needed. Good luck with what you decide, drive and enjoy.
I'll buy all the "somewhere in the 20s" 911Ts you can get me that look remotely like the car pictured above, with a correct but non matching engine ;-) Any flat 6 in fact.
OP, it would help if you detailed what "restoration" is required. Easier for us to break it down.. ex Front pan: $3000 Floor: $xxx, etc....
PS: 2y ago, I had my 72T repainted from nose to tail, engine rebuilt and other things replaced like heat exchangers, exhaust, shocks... Total bill was around $23K. Admittedly not @ California hourly rates (FL), and I spent a few thousands more on tuning and fixing niggles after that..... Just a data point to contrast to a $200K soup to nuts resto (which shoud produce a concours car).

The price they are asking for the car is $ 30,000, the engine has received an overhaul, but the car then has stood still for a long time according the invoices.
A total restoration of the body (to kill the rust devil) I estimate a price up to $23,000.
I don't want a garage queen but a fine car to drive but also no waste of a lot of money.
So that's my starting point, a 15 to 20% lower valuation (not matching engine) I would find acceptable.
So i'am dreaming or not
Thanks for your comments...
25k euro is a very acceptable price for a good running 911 T. Matching numbers is not that problematic for a T and especially if you are buying it for your own use and not strictly as an investment.
Do a PPI of aankoopkeuring on the car at a respectable shop to see if there are any hidden costs.
Whats w the wooden dash and the red mark 7k at the tacho.

Why, is a wooden dash not correct for the 911T 1970?
