I saw this car on ebay, here is the item description:
"We are selling this car for a customer. This is a very original unmolested 1972 Porsche 911T coupe. The color is Gemini Blue Metallic with a brown interior. The car is equipped with a five speed transmission, correct 6X15 Fuchs alloy wheels, appearance group and rear collision bar. All of these were installed at the factory and are attested to on the window sticker which is included with the sale of the car. Also included is the original invoice from the dealer to the original owner. The car was sold new by Joe Heishmans Porsche Audi in Arlington, VA on May 9th, 1972. All of the service records are included with the car. They start on July 1st, 1972. Air conditioning is listed on the invoice as a dealer installed option, however the compressor is no longer installed or included with the sale of the car. The dashboard is cracked and the headliner is in poor condition. There is wear on the outer edge of the drivers backrest. The repaint done some time ago is of driver quality with some minor flaws. It currently has a working Blaupunkt Malibu AM/FM/Cassette radio installed. The engine has the updated Turbo lower valve covers. Also included with the car is the original tool kit and jack. This is a wonderful original example of a fast appreciating early 911T. This is not a show car. The complete service records, invoice, and window sticker only add to the value. Due to the age of the car, it is being sold as is, as shown..."

I realize the seller claims this car is "no rust," and I've contacted him regarding if I can choose not to buy the car if I find rust after winning the auction. He didn't seem so hot on the idea... but if he said "no rust" he shouldn't have had anything to worry about. Assuming the car was no rust, what would be a proper value to pay on ebay?
The car is reasonably local (as in this part of the country), but I don't see to many nice early cars go through the area in my budget, so even though I'm not a big fan of a T in gemini blue, I have to live with whats out here. I would inspect the car prior to bidding, but it's 2.5 hours away from here at least, and I'm stuck at school until after the auction is over.
