1979 911 Targa on ebay, whats it worth?

[cabbage]

Hi Guys, my first time in the 911 section of the forum as im usually in the 944 area, so here it goes

I found this 911 Targa on ebay last night and am looking for a decent project to restore and possibly sell or keep depending on how much i like it, im going to see this one below during the week but would like your advice as to what to look for and also what would be a reasonable offer, and what price is 'too high', as for the car it looks pretty tidy apart from paint and carpet, i can re-spary the car very easily myself in my workshop so thats no problem and interior tlc is easy enough, but what areas should i check and look out for, and once done how much do these sell for, the advert seems a little optimistic to me, thanks

Hello,

I am watching this and I think its got to be worth 5k. I dont think I would pay anymore without doing a thorough inspection but would have a punt up to 5k.

Cheers

Two issues i see first is rust, would need to check the kidney bowl area well. These cost approx £1500/side to get replaced by garage. Second is the gearbox, the sportomatic did not survive that long and parts (and expertise to fix) are getting rare. As for cost i passed on an low mileage pristine coupe at £12000. The gearbox put me off and cost to change i could have bought a very clean 964 for the same
Good luck
