The 87 is a G50 car which usually give it a little more value, balance that vs. the cosmetic condition. A lot depends on the mechanical condition but.... if the cosmetics are any indication of the mechcanicals it sounds like a mid to upper $20's car to me.

Depending on the exact mechanical condition and cosmetic condition. I would guess 22-28k would be fair. It really depends on both. Cabs usually sell for less then coupes with 911's
If it was perfect could be like 40k

Also aged tops break. Its gonna have to be replaced sooner or later.
If you can get it cheap jump on it. If the price is market or near maker value get a pre purchase inspection. Its worth it - I made that mistake

I'm in nyc to have it done right can be anywhere from 8-20k
Depends on the hours involved
lets say 100- 200 hrs @125 an hour thats 10-20k right there

I own a 1988 cab with 73,000 miles that is very nice. I'd consider it a 9/10 in and out. Definitely not in need of an interior or paint. If I were selling I'd be asking mid $40s. It is definitely cheaper to buy a nice one than to make a marginal one nice

I had alot of mechanical crap done. Then inteior then seals misc. Now body and paint. Undoing Every thing that was done on it. I did a decent amount of stuff myself.
For what i have into my car i could a bought a nice driver 993 hardtop.
But live and learn. Money on a car is always better spent upfront. Unless you get the car dirt cheap and do all the work yourself

And thats a.fair price.
Lets say you get another cab that needs work
figure a deal at 25k
Then 15k paint
Then 5k inteior and maybe top
Your at 40k without touching mechanicals
Head studs now yiur at 50k
g50 granny could be 7500
Now close to 60
Plus misc seals ect
top trim could be 300 each side for rubber.
Then maybe an alternator or lets say oil lines and thermostat
Tires
You could hit 75k its possible
Or a well sorted one for mid 40s
Depends if you feel like rolling the dice

I could not find (what I considered) a well sorted car in the mid 40's........ But I was stuck on wanting a G50 car. I went with a "needs love and attention" car.
I looked at a bunch of cars. Flew to see 5. I just did not want a red car........ those are available. I also did not want a car that needed a complete repaint. I did all of my
own work (except the motor work). It is really easy to get to $75K. I know I did and then some.

I'm with you on the red car thing too, your work is awesome btw, finding time to do the work also is not easy. your car came out awesome, id honestly take yours over a singer, and the best part its yours, customized to your liking, nothing beats that.
Im gonna get crap for this out i had those ugly strosek fenders i removed them, stock 993 front minus the bumper all in light fiberglass, but I'm gonna paint the entire car lamborghini orange Arancio Ishtar ppg 0057.
inside out glass out ect..

Fortunately Porsche makes a color for everyone as I love the Guards Red Cabs with tan interior and have no interest in many of the other colors. There is no right or wrong color it is a persons preference and quality of paint. i just really like most OEM colors and not so much aftermarket colors.
