That doesn't look like dark blue to me. It looks more like the old 356 Meissen Blaue. I wouldn't trust this guy, he doesn't know his colors.

Ad says it has been sitting. Where, at the bottom of a lake?

M.D. Holloway 11-13-2015 07:24 PM

wheels like nice though

LWJ 11-13-2015 07:29 PM

That will buff out.

Yikes that's the scariest thing I've seen on Friday the 13th

fuel filler door might be salvageable...

$7k?

Is a 912 vin plate worth that?

If it has not rotted away yet.

Seller: Alex Manos............What a joke he is; I get at least 2 emails a week from him wanting to buy my stuff........Not sure how I got on his spam list?

There's nothing usable on that wreck. That can't be for real. lol ;)

Looks like it was yanked from the crusher just a few seconds to late.

The driver's side pan is totally solid.

Oh I see the problem, let me fix the original ad for them:

'67 Porsche 912 Short Wheel Base Coupe with matching numbers with a dark blue exterior and black interior. Same owner for many years and has been sitting. Complete with the engine and transmission. Great value. Will make a strong parts car or will require an extensive restoration.
There, all fixed! Those silly guys!

Serious question:
Without involving a river or large body of water, how do you manage to screw something up that bad? I see no signs of fire and it doesn't look like it was submerged. It's in LA and I can't imagine that someone would transport that thing all the way from the rust belt.

I'm just at a loss to try and explain it. It has to involve water somehow, but I'm used to seeing things like the instrument cluster rusting and having a lot of buildup on the inside of the glass. These look too clean for that.

Looks like the "hockey puck" horn button is still intact.

Sitting outside a salt storage warehouse? Looks like a few more are going the way of that hapless 912.

It reminds me of the pictures of a pieced together crashed airliner.
