As for a track car it could be done. Targas are just as capable as Coupes when a full cage is used but here again the same thing apllies as for any money put into it. It won't come back. The best starting point, money wise, for a track car is someone elses track car they are selling.

I just don't see it as a resto candidate due to the fact that nice early Targas can be had for sub-$10k prices.
As for money going in, forget that. It will be sold "as-is, where-is" as a project, or it will be parted out. I hate to see a good car go to the scrapper, but I think track or scrap-heap are the two likely destinations for this car.
At least as a track car, it would mean one less "nice" 911 gets relegated to the track, and it means that this car that arguably has some potential can bring somebody happiness rather than being melted down.
Some people want to
build a racecar. Other people just want to
drive a racecar. I think this could be made into a good DE car for about the same money as buying one turnkey. The difference, of course, is time and labor. And this does assume that the buyer is a DIY person.
Is it a $5k car? Maybe... maybe not.
There's one on the board right now with more substantial rust - and the owner's asking more for it.
