It is w/ heavy heart that I am posting this query.
My 1972 E targa ~58k miles HAS SPUN ROD BEARING - car is not running and does not turn over.
It is a 1972 911E targa in original Gulf Blue
Condition of the car:
NEEDS RESTORATION -
Paint is weak
Front windshield cracked
Original seats are gone - have the same type but in black - NON-recarro
Interior was/is tan and the seats were tan w/ cord in the center
ONLY RUST that I have found is right rear seat - all other common culprits are solid.
Motor is all original - rod bearing spun and stopped the car at under 5mph - not catastrophic. Car was making the rod knock and I was babying it along when it seized.
Cause? Most likely running it too rich with a leaky MFI pump ??
Total I have in the car including intial cost is up to $20k.
I recently went through the entire brake system - everything but rebuilding the calipers.
Also went thru the pedal assembly when replaced the master cyl.
In Summary this is a 1972 E matching #'s gulf blue 911 - a fairly rare car.
Needs motor rebuild and cosmetic restoration PERIOD
I am interested in asking you guys what you think it is worth??
I do know that this is similar to dropping a worm in an ant pile but I won't be insulted...
And just like anyone else here I won't sell it for pennies but I am reasonable and interested in opinions/offers.
Car is registered in Cali and located in WA state
