Bill, its all about condition.

One should have the car appraised to determine precisely what it needs as that determines current value.

Could a thread starter possibly make their thread title less descriptive?

But anyway - very cool car, good luck restoring or selling it.

Excellence magazine & Hemmings can get you started. I see people asking $150-$200k for nice 1968 911S's - obviously this one will be some fraction of that.

If you joined PCA they would be pleased to help.

Dont know how great of an indicator it is for a true market value but you can go to bringatrailer.com and see what all the cars in that age range have sold for and also see different levels of quality and get an idea how those went. Haggarty also has a valuation tool on their website.

Am I the only one who noticed it's not an S? That's a '68 Normal for USA. Lots of details to fill out, but $30-50K as it sits. About $100k less than if it was an S.

I am not educated enough to tell the difference.
If it is not to much trouble could you point out the difference you saw in these pics or I guess more likely what is missing? I would like to be educated on it.

There are probably some body or interior clues that someone more knowledgeable than me might recognize, but the easiest way is the VIN. According to the Red Book, a 1968 911S coupe has a VIN that begins 1180xxxx 1185xxxx. A regular US coupe is 1183xxxx, and a US Karmann coupe is 11835xxx. There was also no 911S sold in the US that year, only Europe.

Edit: Edited to correct a mistake in the 911S coupe VIN.

Well that would be great! Not all the VIN references out there are correct. But I would be surprised if the Red Book was that far off. This thread on the Early S registry also suggests yours is not an S - the fourth digit should be a zero (I made a mistake in my earlier post, now corrected).
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...-with-911S-VIN

I would keep researching, as I have a feeling PCNA is not correct this time.

Can you post the engine type number and serial number?
