you already have the answer,nothing established on a car that old (not trying to be smart a – -) it’s only worth what some one is willing to pay.you might search e-bay or craig’s list for the same vehicle for a guide line,but no two cars alike.
They want your zip code because the same car may be worth more or less in your part of the country. Cars here in the north east where I live are worth less due to the salt used on the roads during the winter.
Nada guides, which many insurance companies use over kbb and edmunds should have pricing for this car under their classic car section.
The answer is highly dependent on the mileage, the car’s history including especially its maintenance history, and you. This is a VERY OLD vehicle. Unless it has been very carefully maintained and has extremely low miles for its time on the road, it is probably worth very little. That’s where you come in.
Is there some particular reason YOU want this car? If so, get its complete maintenance history. If that is not available, I recommend you look elsewhere. Has the car been wrecked? Totaled? Issued a salvage title? If you can’t tell, I recommend you look elsewhere. If you want this car as a garage queen — to have and to hold, but almost never to drive; well, that’s YOU. If you want it as a daily driver, you need to know that there are Hyundais out there today that can put it to shame. It is a real piece of automotive history. Is that what YOU are looking for?
This will depend on many factors that you don’t mention. As with any older car, the condition it is in will be one of the largest factors in how much it is worth:
Is the car in excellent condition? Concours condition? And if yes to either of these, is it all original or has it been restored? An excellent condition car that is not restored is worth more than one that has been. If it has been restored, or repainted, or had anything done that could potentially hide problems like damage or rust the car’s value can suffer heavily unless all work is heavily documented and done by known trustworthy sources (and having lots of pictures of everything that was done while it was in process doesn’t hurt). Because many cars this age have simply been painted in order to hide rust problems or other damages, a good condition car with original paint will be worth more than one with seemingly excellent paint that has been repainted and has no documentation to support a complete restore (or eveidence to prove the condition of the car underneath the paint).
Another factor is how the car was maintained. An older 911 can be a very solid platform, if it was properly maintained. A car that checks out without problems in a prepurchase inspection and has detailed maintainance and repair records for it’s entire life will be worth more than a car with an undocumented or unknown history (even if it appears ok during a prepurchase inspection).
The 1975 models have a few specific issues to consider as well… overall, the 2.7L 911 models have a poor reputation due to engine failures. The problems that caused these failures are long since identified and easily fixed when the engines are rebuilt (and most of these engines will have been rebuilt due to these problems). The engines should be rebuilt with either the Racewear or Divilar head studs… additionally the 11 blade fan should be fitted (as it was in the earlier cars, and again in the later models). Things like the Carrera tensioners and/or chain guards are desirable as well. Lacking these (and documents showing this work has been done) will mean that any potential buyer will assume they will need to do this and the car will be worth less (roughly less the amount of an engine rebuild). Also, while the 1975 model was outfitted with thermal reactors from the factory as part of their emissions package, chances are these are not required by law in most areas (and they should be removed if permissable as this alone might’ve solved some of the engine’s notorious problems).
The 1974-1977 911S also suffers in value as many buyers gravitate towards either the older long hood models, or the later impact bumper models like the 911SC or 3.2L Carrera (both of which have better reputations than the 911S of this era, damaged as it was with problems on the 2.7L engine).
Also, coupes tend to command higher resale value than Targa models (and Targa models will vary depending on the roof condition).
So what does all this mean? Prices I’ve seen on the impact bumper 911S models run for good condition and better run in the $7-13k range. The upper end of that range would have to be an excellent car in an area with a good market since that price will be in line with some 911SC and 3.2L Carreras. Cars with that have a questionable history will struggle to get as high as $7k even in very good condition. Lesser condition cars will run in the $4-8k range. Prices seldomly go much lower since even in very questionable condition, the car’s value as a rolling chassis is close to $4k.
Prices are in flux quite a bit at the moment though due to the economy – prior to the current problems it seemed like the early impact bumper cars had bottomed out and were starting back up in value (roughly on pace with cost of living increases). However since the market has weakened, prices on cars that are considered more desirable have decreased, which in turn is forcing pricing on these cars lower – and this trend will likely continue.
Good day!
I am new to this forum and look forward to making some new friends

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
