1968 911L Resto Project.....

Post by Darren65 »

Good luck to the seller but in my mind this is a £12K project needing a full £80K+ restoration ...... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=58654

No doubt the market will dictate the actual value but am I really that far out of touch? :?

Cheers,

I saw the ad and thought good luck to the seller as well ........ but hey, its his car to ask what he wants for it.

I am not sure £12k will buy you anything 911 these days to be honest, let alone an old rusty SWB car.

I think your bang on Darren, the shell looks like it needs a lot of work and new metal which if done by a reputable shop will take 10s of 1000s

It does need a lot of work. I think the clue here is that the seller has left the car in the States for now hoping for a sale there where a 68L is somewhat admired more than here (rightly or wrongly) as a 'one year only special' model. They didn't get our 'equivalent' S over there in 68.

Mike

"The car will need a paint job and restoration work"

Understatement of the year right there.... :lol:

The lack of any real chassis photo's tells the truth on this one. Interior is complete...... that made me laugh. Dash might take a little fettling. :lol: No harm in trying at his price. A fool and his money.....

I am not sure £12k will buy you anything 911 these days to be honest, let alone an old rusty SWB car.



I have a 12k 911 SWB project for sale shortly. :wink:

....noted and possibly a tad optimistic for a one year only SWB but then I still couldn't get my head around much more!

But hey what do I know, I don't follow prices so this could well be the going rate for this type of project?

The result will be interesting.

I think Dave might have something for you - £12k SWB project might be a good starting point!

Saw that on Facebook, a remarkable recovery! Although much of it is new it has continuous history.
