Barn Find 73~she Ruff

[73 911]

This one fell into my lap. It's a 73 911E, fresh out of storage. She'3 50, same age as the misses.. As found photos, see below

[73 911]

I may not have privileges to post photos, But the doors are stuck shut.. frunk..is stuck closed. Engine lid is open. Keys are in it. PB Blaster to the rescue.

[73 911]

Any ideas of how to get the doors open? Trunk open? From the outside? My GF might have to climb over the engine.. to get the keys out of the ignition. Slim jimmy?

Can't climb in over the engine - the rear bulkhead is solid.

Slim jim through the window seals may be effective. Wing windows cracked open at all?

Photos of the patient please.

Any halfway decent wafer pick will work. It takes a little bit of skill but not much.

Where are you located??

[73 911]

Still soaking the doors, didn't get much time to work on the doors, the Wafer picks look like they would work. and I saw a youtube video, that I would have to push down, to unlatch the door?

I haven't posted enough to post photos yet, I'm getting on it,, it could be a RED car, or White(under the red-or white primer), or Dark Green(deck / engine lid), or pale green(under fenders? We will see if I can get the drivers door open,

Looks like a matching motor to 73', Tan interior, Sunroof.

1973 911E -Serial# 9113200xxx
Motor Vertical Stamp: *6239079*
Motor Flat Spot:91/62
Magnesium Minilites

Is a sunroof rare?
Has the flat spot, Right (pass) side of engine, where something looks missing, but I watched the 73, factory video, and they have the same engine bay, open, testing the car, with nothing there also. Full set of webers (crusty)

Lots of animal debris, and rust.. I may need a tenuis, and rabies shots soon.
I am a picture guy, also, i'll get them asap,

not much left of the bulk head.....and she's 97lbs, LOL and 50 also!! and doesnt know I bought a Porsche , yet..............................................

[fanaudical]

Not much left of the bulkhead, huh? Might be easier to just pull the windshield in that case (you're going to need to anyway if it has that much rust).

Welcome aboard! Thanks (in advance ) for saving this car, really sounds like it needs saving! 1973 is an amazing year in the years and years of these amazing cars. Lots of help to be found here when you need saving. We are all looking forward to these particular photos: "as found" "before" "during" and of course "after". During is the hard part.

Seems like the fan and head lights were updated at one point. Flatbed-guy is giving me grey hairs tho! Nice find. Let the fun begin!

Any Guesses on COLOR?

[73 911]

should I post those numbers???

[Showdown]

This looks like a really fun project, I’m super jealous!!

What’s the plan, restoration, hot rod…?

My first color guess is NOT red. Check the color plate on passenger-side door frame, once you get the door open.. I think...if it's even there..
