Collective wisdom from the group 1976 Turbo

[rpsurfr]

I am in touch with a 76 Turbo- thinking of doing a RS hot rod with it. The motor is tired, would need a new power plant.
the car is in very good shape, save the motor
the question is would it be worth more as a turbo?
and
what is the car worth now? no rust solid car good paint and complete
I have an idea of 911 prices but not the turbos and not one like this- so
many thanks

That case is gold. You can make a 2.8 short stroke with it. I would leave it wide body and strip it like a track car, then build said 2.8ss.

I think it would be worth more as a turbo. 1. In general terms of value, stock trumps hot rod and 2. the 3.0 litre turbo's seem to be getting some colllectability lately.

I'd rebuild the motor and either regear the 4 speed or add a 915 (and keep the 4 speed in a box for sale time).

so what would you place as a value on this chassis at the top range.

$20,000 to $25,000 as a quick sale.
