73.5 coupe 4 sale

[CurtEgerer]

I can top one that Tom! Check my classified ad for the '02 996 Cab last week. $95K sticker, 26K miles, like new, $40K. But 2 years from now, without putting any more miles on it, it's probably a $30K car Point is: if so-called "investment" is a concern, even at $35 for this T, I don't see it ever being worth less than that .... they ain't makin' these things anymore!

to all on the board, and especially the owner of this very fine 73 T. I did not "run down" anyones car nor disparage it in any way. I just made a comparison to a newer Porsche, cost-wise. You guys sure are touchy. As for this price of $35 K "being reasonable", just take a look at the sepia 72 T just put up here for sale. Also a very nice car (WITH sport seats), and, at some $11 K less, it is my OPINION that this is a more reasonable price for a nice early T. I too love the early cars and have owned several (wish I had them back!). Sorry if I upset anyone.

It's not me who is setting prices- it's supply and demand.......Again, I don't see anyone giving anything away - theses early 911's are HOT and getting HOTTER - I only wish that I had snapped up about thirty of 'em in the late '90's............

Gary, nice car! Great color combo too...

Billy,
There are MANY early 911's (S,E,T,L etc) that can be had for much less than the mid $30Ks, but they will cost much more than that to get them up to the condition of the ones going for $40K+...

I just helped a friend find a "decent" early 73T with MFI...car went for less than 10K, but ... even though it was a great deal, it will never look anything like the higher dollar cars. If you are looking for a very clean, documented and no story early car, be prepared to pay for it...if you just want a driver and fix-r-upper, they are out there too.

Remember though, no matter what a 911 costs, they will ALL cost at least 20K by the time you get it to where you want it to be...

Cheers,

Thanks, Michael...
There is a Porsche out there for every person and every budget... except that the budget to buy a nice one or make a tired example into a nice one is the same for everybody! (About 3 times more than you'd think!)

I had the opportunity to look at the gold T when I purchased my silver 72S from G&W last year. I thought it was a real nice example but I thought it was a lot of money, considering many times you are going to have to spend some more money on a car you purchase. But less than a year later the price doesn't seem so high. I think the early cars are still on their way to a price level that befits their quality, rarity and status as an iconic sportscar of the 60's and early seventies.

so just for my curiosity, what is a real good, clean, pca member, s member, documente and all the trimmings S with flares and original engine be worth? the car is nice, all options too. will the price affect because of the flares?
Gary your car is outstanding.

Well guys-
I just ended the ebay auction early for my gold 73.5 coupe-
Have you ever been in this position? - You have several collector cars already, and you find another car that you really want. So you rationalize your now-inevitable purchase by telling yourself that you'll sell one of your other cars......Then you realize that it's harder to let go than you thought. So you decide to withdraw the car from sale and either build an addition to your garage or find a way to squeeze the new car in the driveway???
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it - at least for now. In the event that common sense or fiscal responsibilty rules once again, I'll post the car on this message board....Now I'm taking her out for a drive!

Congratulations Gary! I don't know about you, but I'm getting too old to be prudent. If I run out of money I'll let my two sons support me for a change.
