[75 911s]

The motor is a 74 911s Motor. Mahle and Andial did make 3.0 conversions for this motor one for CIS and one for Carbs.

Sounds like a really hot motor. If it's in good shape -its a very expensive motor to build.

The car is set up for track or wannabe track. Which means no creature comforts and less streetability.

Do a search on popping the front hood when the cable is broken. Several good threads on that.

Rust would be my primary concern, then engine health. Why was it pulled and put on a stand in a different city? Perhaps the owner has all the original parts that they took off? those would be worth thousands.

The main concern with the midyear engines has been the magnesium case and it's vulnerability in regard to emissions controls that came in 75. This motor would have been mostly immune from those issues, however it is still magnesium so it could have problems with pulled head studs - though those issues seem to be overstated in the community somewhat. However, when the mag case has been bored out, it further weakens the areas near the head stud. So checking the build to see if case savers or dilvar etc were used. Compression can be an issue with a 3.0 conversion as well. you may need a guru to tune the motor for you if it's a runner.

There's a lot you could inspect on the motor if you had access. The 2.7 is a great motor and a lot of people like it because of the high rev and sound. The 3.0 conversion is something you need to check on. Who built it? what parts? When? how many miles? Worst case scenario you could part that engine out and invest in a 3.0 or 3.2 motor since it isn't numbers matching anyway.

BTW the VIN is on the drivers A pillar as well. With the glass fenders it's a midyear backdate suspect. Probably a 74 as there seem to be less sunroof 74s out there.
