1985 Porsche 911 Slant Nose Cab....worth?

I found a very clean 85 Slant nose cab close to me that I am thinking of picking up if my car sells soon. Has 88,000 and is black with red interior, I absolutely love it. I just wanted to make sure it was a good deal so I was wondering what you guys think a 85 911 Slant nose cab w/ 88k miles and red interior is worth? (Nada was low: $24k med: $27k high: $34k)

Thanks ahead of time!

I'd imagine that the body work isn't factory so that's a toss up. 9 out of 10 times, the bodywork is shoddy or backyard mechanic stuff which actually takes away from the value of the car.

An 3.2 cab in good shape should be somewhere between 16k to 22k. 88K miles on the engine isn't high for these cars, the 3.2 engine does have valve issues.

Sorry that I can't be any more helpful, NADA and Blue Book values are somewhat irrelevant.

from the look of the picture ,the front spoiler look damage ,it got a Carrera tail instead of a Turbo tail ,not sure but the seat doesn't look like the right one for an 85 .

If that's factory, that's one h*ll of a "Special Wishes" car...
If you're into the wide-body look but want the reliability of the NA engine, Porsche manufactured the turbo body as an option in the 80's (not the slantnose look). The wide body adds a significant amount of weight to the car.
I would stay away but I get hives when I see body-kits on 911s.

haven't driven the car, I'll go check it out and if the only thing wrong with it is the front spoiler then I'll have it checked out by a porsche shop.... If this isn't a factory body kit which it's not looking like it than I don't think I am interested

The factory parts are extremely expensive, don't think that you'll find many of them.
