Total restauration on 1973 2.4 TARGA Pastel Blue
About 30 months of hard and meticulous work.
COA shows original Gemini Blue paint
I prefered Pastel Blue, better looking on 70's Porsche
Engine and Châssis matching
She just runs like a dream !!

In any case, so glad to see there was enough left + current market forces to justify bringing this car back.
(I vividly remember a salvager taking a fully rust free, high mile, but all there and in good shape '70T for $2K, yet wouldn't sell it to me as-is for $3K--all he cared about was the profit from selling parts.)

Because the cars were worth $1.99 at the time, no one wanted them (let alone would spend 2-3X what they were worth to restore them stock), and there was customer demand to allow us to make money doing the conversions.

You would have been like everyone else and not given a ____ about crapped out old 911s. As recent as '95 a good friend of mine found a ~80KM '73 RS quasi-lightweight that was a color changed to Grand Prix White from Sepia Brown for......$25K. That was a good car we fiddled with to make into a competent autocrosser. I sold my '73S track rat that was an honest fully optioned car for all the money there was in '01 at $20K.
So, figure what the garden variety Ts in average shape were worth. A basis for updating/hacking was about all.

Lately I've been wondering where I'd be now if I got that car. Not being able to afford a full restoration, it wouldn't surprise me if I would have sold it and moved up to a mint 3.2 Carrera at some point.
