Hey Guys, Long story short, I was offered a 1972 911e by someone I have done a fair amount of business with over the last 10 years. What I have been told... Car has 137xxx miles Motor was rebuilt to 911s about 6000 miles ago. (said he has everything to put it back to 911e) It has been repainted There is a dent (pictured) What is something like this worth? I do not have much experience in the Porsche world, and this just happened to fall in my lap. Any information would be helpful as I am considering taking it off his hands. Thanks!

my guess is the top of the market for that car would be $70k or so for an excellent condition car; given mileage, dents, non-standard wing/engine cover, I'd say $60k for this one. get a PPI that includes a look for rust on the undercarriage,early 911s had many rust trouble spots. https://bringatrailer.com/2014/08/14/see-where-they-rust-1972-porsche-911t/
I'm a bit suspicious of the engine build. Is the MFI still installed? Why is the passenger side mirror out on the fender? 72 is the year to have, and E is the model to have.
This is very helpful. Thank you! Here are some motor pictures. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
webers or solex carbs. mfi long gone. the e was quicker than the s due to cams producing nice power down low. I loved the e!!!
He says he still has everything from before the "rebuild" and said it could be "put back" Does this make sense? Does it make a big difference in value? If the e was quicker, why would he have put the time and money into the "s conversion"? Sorry for all the questions. This era Porsche is very new to me. I appreciate all the info
how about that....learn something new every day. funny how today the S is the coveted $200k collector car, the T is the platform for your hot rod 911 builds (r gruppe, etc) and the E is somehow lost in the shuffle. 1972 Porsche 911 T Coupe vs. 911 E Targa, 911 S Coupe ?

If you put the mirror in the factory location on the passenger door, you cannot see it from the driver's seat. It is basically useless as I discovered on the car pictured below. I assume that is why they mounted it on the fender. During this time period most of the cars only came with the driver's side mirror and it is easy to see why. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for all the help so far guys, this had been a huge help. I am still doing my research but hope to get something worked out soon. btw, we are a watch sponsor here on FChat so if I can reciprocate in any way whether it be buying, selling, trading or questions on certain models regarding high end watches I would love to help Thanks!
Not a 911S spec engine without the MFI. This is a big pet peeve of mine. People talk about their engine being built to S (or even RS!) spec and there are the Webers or PMOs sitting on top of it.
If the cams, displacement, etc. were changed the original MFI pump may not work with that set up. You should find out why the conversion was done because if it was done because the injection pump is not functioning that will be a big expense. Driving a 911 with properly sorted MFI is a very rewarding experience. Carb conversion is a big hit to value, at least for me.
I would price this 911E as a project with a lot of unknowns. Is it matching #'s? Overall condition of the body/floors? Any rust/damage? Who built the motor? What parts? What exact specs as to pistons, cams etc? Any receipts? What was the original color? All this affects value. What are your goals with it? Original? Period correct Sports Purpose (ST)? From the photos, I would pay $40K for it if it was a good tub. Don't underestimate the costs for getting the right people to build a good 911. And, yes, I would keep it MFI. Freeman
Hi Freeman- what would you pay for a numbers matching fully restored and sorted 72/73 911E with bullet proof history in the US these days? Prices in Aust have skyrocketed for top examples - what's happening stateside?
Ross, I would need to see photos and know more. IMO, certain original color specs makes a huge difference in value along with options such as sport seats etc. What comes with it also makes a difference such as original manual set, tool kit, receipts etc. I would prefer the "right" 72/73 T/E over an S with the wrong combo. These cars are about soul. Some have it, some don't. Freeman
