I think it was the buyer who wasn't responding. Feeling a little remorse perhaps. Don't know the latest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hold the phone, everybody, this just in from the seller: @kapa6ac (the winner) .. It seems your phone is not accepting any incoming calls. I’ve sent email.. Still no answer.. Please contact me soon. Thank you. (Cue ominous music...)

Stan, please count me in for one of each of the above shift patterns. Thanks!

Mo, please count me in as interested in the dash decals or stencils for my '72 tii.

I believe that this is in Palos Verdes, looks like Shoreline Park at Abalone Cove to me.

I saw the post on Instagram and thought it might be COOP's tii! Congrats on being selected! Comedians in Cars is an absolutely brilliant show. Agree that Baldwin killed it in that episode, but for me, the all-timer was Jerry taking Carl Reiner to breakfast in a Rolls Royce, and then joining Reiner and Mel Brooks for dinner at Carl's house. Jerry picks up food at Nate n Al in Beverly Hills in his 70 911S. Great to see the tii getting such pub!

Agree with previous comments that some photos would certainly help assess condition, but if it is original, unwhacked, mechanically sound, $30K+ would not be out of the question.

Sorry for the late response to this, but that's my tii. I had driven it to the office on the day you snapped that pic.

Does the rear window have to be removed for headliner install, or just the windshield?

I think Hagerty is behind the curve, too. The reality is you just can't call anything that I would call a Number 2 car for under $30K. They just don't exist.

Having just gone through a search and ultimately the purchase of my '72 tii, I have to say that the Hemmings estimates lag the reality in the market today. First, few folks are selling, so supply is even more of an issue than it is just by virtue of the small number of remaining "good ones" out there. Recently, an Inka '72 sunroof car that was originally from CA was listed on this venerable site and sold quickly at full price, which was $32,500. That was NOT a fully restored car, but rather a survivor with some mechanical and cosmetic freshening. Second, what few cars I did find that were for sale in the West were north of $30K, at least one being north of $40K (and that one was a square taillight car!). I looked at an original, survivor early '72 tii, no sunroof, but long term ownership in central CA. The owner had no intention of selling it and he told me that he turned down $35K just last year. The guy had a car collection in his barn that very clear said he didn't need the money. I appreciate that this may sound somewhat self-serving, but I think a good, straight, original tii is a $30K proposition all day long and probably more, and if you happen to own a car like that in a desirable color, with clean interior and solid mechanicals, I think $40K would not be outlandish to ask, with the expectation that it will take a true enthusiast or collector to step up and pay that. Paul, I have never seen your car in person, but based on the photos of it, I think $30K would be an absolute steal and could be low by $7500, not that it's actually for sale!

I can tell you where I was coming from, having just bought a '72 tii recently, the first such car I have owned since the early 1990s when I was in college. I have always had a great deal of nostalgia for the 2002, as my first car was a '76 2002 and got my first tii in 1991. Over the years, as the market for early 911s has gone past my means, and the number of appealing alternatives is small, I started thinking more and more about another tii. I believe that a lot of enthusiasts who had high hopes of owning an early 911 are probably in the same boat, as noted above, ergo, the rise in prices. It is pretty clear to me that a clean, straight tii is a $30,000+ proposition right now. Even cars with little nits (like a snorkel nose) are still in the mid-20s. During my search, I drove a restored 74 Euro tii that was available for $45,000, and I know of a "best in class" restored 74 that had $85,000 into it. It's about time that the rest of the automotive enthusiast world has started to recognize the value in the 2002. For those of us that have them now, I believe that values will continue to rise. YMMV.
