72 E coupe score
an old customer called a couple of days ago, and wanted to know what his 72E sunroof coupe would be worth, that had been sitting for 10 years, and didn't run. i said i'd be right over. not bad for $3500 eh? it has a few issues, but i've seen way worse come around ok.

Score!
She looks like a winner and the body looks very straight. Does she need paint? |

nice, I want an early car that is "bone stock"
I cut my '69 up and made it a racecar, the unmolested early cars are getting rarer every day...

Nice way to take advantage of an old customer
 Lucky for you! Of course he DID sell it to you. There wasn't a gun involved was there?

You got RIPPED!

Sweet. That's about what I paid for my prject-starting 72 roller -- and you got a drivetrain, to boot!

Now, John...I know your going to fix up this car really nice and then sell it...all I ask is that you keep me in mind...
 Or, once your done with it, how about a trade for a GP White '87 Targa? It's been serviced by the best...  Nice looking car. You mentioned to me awhile back you had an old customer who had an E that was just sitting, this must be the car. Does it still have the MFI intact?

yeah, the clearcoat is lifting, so it'll get a complete paint job eventually. it's a one owner car, and he just lost interest and let it sit. the engine turns over, the stacks were stuck, but they freed up with 15 minutes of work. gotta pull the tank and clean it, replace fuel lines and fuel pump. might drop the engine this weekend and at least clean it up. i'm sure the disc is stuck to the flywheel too, after all these years. figure i'll get it running, evaluate it, and see if it's a keeper. i was kinda looking for a 72 or 73. funny how things just drop in your lap sometimes. now if i could only find that 23 window bus cheap.
mark, that other E was a 73 s/r coupe. it's real nice, and if it ever came up, i'd have to sell this one to get it.

If it's true that he who dies with the most toys wins then I think you've got a big lead on most of us. Okay maybe you don't have the most toys but you've definently got the coolest. 72'E Coupe in Silver. Put simply, a Classic. SCOOOOORE!

 ) It *is* a classic. I've somehow always prefered the 911E over the "coveted" 911S. They seem like pretty much the same car. . .just that the 911S have a "volume knob that goes to 11" so to speak.

John,
To check on the engine condition, did you taste the oil?

John, welcome to the '72 club! Now you can be an oil tank snob like me!
Please though, try to resist the temptation to modify it. This one sounds like an excellent full-stock restoration candidate. Right color, right model, right year, one owner, etc. Nice score!

Yeah a barn find that found you. One of the perks of having a shop. A 23 window fish aquarium will probably turn up next week.
