70S Matching numbers recently restored.Repainted to original color which is blood orange. it has a Porsche certification of authenticity.

72S Targa. Restored in 2000 retains original color and has Porsche certificate of Authenticity. New tires brakes and suspension were done this year . It does not have matching numbers.

thanks

Need more info. Anywhere from $15K to $75K.

I'm going to make a preemptive strike here, before we get to hear the broken record about the soft economy, and say that there is always a market for nice honest cars.

Surf, we need much more info on your cars.

What kind of engine is in the non-matching 72S?
Restored? If so by who? Taken to bare metal?
What about the mecanicls? Engines? Gearbox? If so by who?
Are the car original(no modifications) Is there any rust?
Sportseats?
etc
etc

Pictures would be nice too.

I don't have record on the mechanicals on either car . Both run strong and shift smooth and have the original MFI. Both are stock cars with no modifications . They were also both bare medal restorations. I would not call either one a concorse car maybe an 8 out of 10.

Since you asked, I will take a shot. Mostly because I am bored sitting at work.

The 1970 911S I assume is a coupe, original with a fresh, quality paint job. I assume the interior is handsome, etc. You get a big minus for no records and the 10 things that you have not mentioned that might need fixing. So I say $45k. It could easily be $30k or just as easily, with excellent options, $75k.

The 1972 911S would usually be worth more. But it is an older restoration and it is a Targa which may reduce your market. Throw in the non-matching numbers and I will ding you $15k off the numbers above.

Since you have solicited advice, may I add that if you are going to broker these cars for someone, you probably want to know all about them, as a smart prospective buyer won't feel well-informed with the "it runs strong and shifts smoothly."

These are both my cars. I purchased the a number of years ago. The options on the Targa : limited slip,sport seats,air conditioner, and fog lights . Engine is original, Transmission is not.

The 70S is a non sunroof coupe,with the following options.paint code Tangerine/2323, interior black leather,leather steering wheel and shift boot,comfort package,airconditioner[which has been removed]
Both have tensioner upgrade

Put them on eBay with a *complete description* and you will find out what the market is. I'm of the school of thought that doesn't classify eBay as good or bad - it's just a medium - and a pretty efficient one.

Best of luck if you decide to sell them.

I'll agree with John's suggestion of letting market price car for you, ebay is a decent way of getting at what a buyer will pay for a car sight unseen. If cars are really nice I would post for sale here. It may take a while to sell in todays economic climate but there are always buyers for good cars.
