How about unbolt the steering gear and have an assistant sit in the trunk and steer?

It's already a damaged parts car?
Already in a garage that is falling in? Hell - Hook a chain to it and drag it out with your pickup truck.

Not to HiJack an awesome thread but I have been wondering..
Fast Fred, are you the same Fred that has Ronnie Sox's old Hemi Duster? The suspense has been killing me for a long time |

Bring 4x4 or 2by6's nails etc with hydraulic jack(s) to take collapsed roof weight off car - be very careful as there is no telling what will happen with the roof as you start to move it and certainly get the heck out of there before you start dragging the car out .
1. drag the car to where you can open the door. A good quality steel hydraulic jack with someone on the handle can be used to steer the car or reposition it at the back 2 unscrew the plastic cover off the ignition and cut screwdriver slots on the breakaway bolts with a dremel and remove the two bolts with a screw driver. 3. with an allen wrench remove the lock-nutted bolt that points up under the dash 4 remove lock. Good luck

WE FOUND THE KEYS!!!!, and with a little cohersing, I was able to get both doors open, and the ignition unlocked. He kept bragging about how well he tarped it up , but in reality, all he did was seal in all the moisture, and speed up the process of it going back to mother nature. USA carrera, so nothing overly special, and it is RUSTY. This one will not be saved. I will just part it out, and warehouse the good stuff for now. I stuck my hand right through the frame near the rear spring plate area. The roof is good, but not much other good sheet metal left. Just a regular 165 hp cis 2.7. A 74 trans is a good rare piece to own because of the 915 with 7:31 gears, but the best part is 15X9/15x7 rsr frosted fuchs . Score!!!! We have one more day of work to do. We just plain ran out of time. Still have to drag his 55 ford out of the alley, and then drag the 911 out and on to a trailer. Going to try to finish up some evening this week. The 911's wheels are of course locked up tight. Hopefully they will roll , once I winch on it.

 His old ford convertible . The caved in garage is directly behind this alley/garage which was housing a lincoln, and six tons of debris, and a petrified dead cat.

Fred, I would not part it out. Yes, it's nothing special in terms of the engine. Steering wheel, sport seats, tail are all worth big bucks (probably not 9x15s on rear, offset is all wrong...it's a front end wheel size) but prices for these things are going up like early Turbos, etc.
If it's numbers matching, it should be saved. and will be worth it in the end.

Yep. As the values for the '73 RS have gone out of sight, the '74 has crept up too. Maybe just clean it up and sell it to a restorer/ collector?

That does not look that bad, but underneath might be ugly. It is a good color too.

I am not 100 % sure they are 15X9's. but I took 4 spare 911 wheels with me in case these would not hold air. Two of mine are 15X8's and when I held them up against these wheels, they are significantly wider. Cool frosted finish also. I guess I'll know when I pull them off. Cool find either way though, don't know if you remember this thread or not, but this car was the first 911 that I ever had any experience with. It was a childhood friends dad's car. I have not seen it since I was 12 years old. I can remember playing with matchbox cars out in their garage right next to this car. I may just end up with the P car that started it all for me.
