Really?
Are we reading the same thread?
No one is saying this car is without risk, only that the 10k buy in is low enough that those risks are mitigated by the fact that you could part it out and get your money back as a worse case scenario.
To the OP: the fact that this car has the original engine may be significant. As this car is a "midyear" it may have the magnesium case engine. I can't recall for sure when the changeover was to the aluminum case, but I seem to think it coincided with the intro of the 911SC in 1978 (3 liter engine). The older 2.7L engines did have some issues such as head studs pulling out of the cases which can be expensive to repair properly. Given the engine is hot rodded with carbs, its possible these items were addressed.
