DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I know this isn't an easy question but a bit of guidance or even opinions would be welcome.
What's sort of price could I expect to pay for a '72/'73 2.4 911S in sound condition but not necessarily with original engine & 'box?
I know each car's different but I'm trying to get feel for something between a basket case and a fully restored or low mileage original.
It always seems harder to define this middle ground - so, any ideas?

Hi Tony,

Are you looking for a car, or have you found something ?

Could be a huge gulf in prices.

RHD, LHD ?

£30k - £60k is about as accurate as it's possible to be without knowing more about the car in question.

Go on, show us the car, I promise not to try to buy it if it's a nice one.

Recent sales of 2.4Ss have been IRO £40K for cars needing £30Kish of work, to low to mid 70S for nice but not quite perfect cars, all being matching numbers. It all depends what it needs, but it maybe worth £10k less for non matching numbers.

If it's an original 2.4S engine but not the 'matching' one it would hurt the value less than 'another' engine built up to S specs.
Original colour is also another factor. Original paint, repaint to original colour or repaint another colour all affect the value. Quality of a repaint and the actual colour itself all have an effect as well.
I know of two 2.4S's, matching numbers, and in basically original condition without being concours but instantly useable and they are both between 50 and 60k.

Regards
Mike

Edit: I don't suppose it is a 73 rhd targa 2.4S? which could affect opinions on value.

Thanks folks - that's exactly the sort of info I was looking for.

Do have a car in mind - but a deal also it depends on whether I can cope with parting with the 964RS!
Mike, it's not a targa - but might be interested in the two you mention.

Hi Tony!

Good to see you're thinking about a proper car again!!

Cheers!

Ooooow!
And I didn't know you cared Jonathan!

if you do get one, make sure you invest a bit of time in getting the MFI set up correctly & the suspension ( bushes, shocks + full set up) . For a lot of people their 1st experience of an early 911 is a tired car .....

A decent one can be a fantastic experience, a poor one can be frustrating & leaving you wondering what all the hype is about

Totally agree with hot66. My car was soooo much better after Tuthill set up suspension and Bob Watson set up MFI. Truly a different car. (And it was supposed to be well set up when I bought it.... )
