Looking at a converted '76...need some opinions

I'm buying my first 911 and came across this ad;

Description- '76 Targa Turbo
All steel wide body with 3.0 ltr non-intercooled turbo engine, 915 trans, Bremtec brakes, C2 mirrors, 3.8 tail, Chrome turbo twist wheels. Car is very fast, own a turbo at half the cost of a original or half the cost of building your own! $13,500.

I spoke with the owner, he's only had the car for 4 months (might be a dealer but he's not saying) and doesn't have a lot of history. Doesn't know when the engine was changed out. Says the wide body is aftermarket but doesn't know much more that that.
Describes the int/ext as 7.5 of 10 with very nice paint.

It's the price range, vintage, model and color I'm looking for and a lot of car for the money if it's right. I'd have a PPI done but am wondering if I should stay away altogether.

Thanks for your opinion.

Run away as fast as you can. Remember a PPI is only a 2 hour visual inspection. No way will it uncover all the sins of a life of conversions, motor changes etc. JMO
