Looking at purchasing a 1977 targa that has had a steel 930 body kit and 3.3 motor put into it and pumped up to about 400hp.
Cluster has been changed and reset back to when all the work was done on the body and motor.
It is assumed the car has a total of about 85k on the chassis.
Has receipts for drive train work.
Paint has orange peel.
No rust
Bolt in cage
small oil leak
Looks to be in overall 6.5-7/10 condition

Curious what you all think it’s worth currently and if it’s worth it to buy a swapped car. I am a speed fanatic so I’d love having the 3.3L but don’t want to find myself underwater if I decide it’s not for me and I want to sell.

I will attach photos and a video below. Let me know as I am planning to go look at it on Tuesday.

 

Whoever did the conversion at the time spent loads of money ...
First thing , the originality of the car is gone so some purists would not even
look at it, but then again there's a shoe for every foot.

The price can be anywhere due to all the modifications , but i'm not one to talk as i swapped a 95 3.6 in my
89 coupe and i wouldn't take anything less than 75k US should i ever decide to part with it.
You would definitely need to spend the money and get a thorough PPI as any gearbox handling 400 HP had to take a real beating and Targa replacement
roofs are also an expensive item to fix/replace.You would need extensive details about the engine build as well , seems like the guy changed his tach facia and put a 6800 rpm redline
which is definitely not a good thing unless the engine can handle it.
I'm sure others more knowledgeable with Targas will chime in !

Cheers
Phil
