I would say just walk away from this car. It has way too much rust, and I don't believe it has been garaged & not driven much during the winter.
My bet is that if you partially disassembled it (even just removing the windows), you'd find more & more rust. What you show there is major. Also, I wouldn't believe it has 88K oringinal miles. Four owners doing 22K miles of driving in 34 years? I don't think so.
Before I took my '72 apart, I didn't see any rust. I found the windshield frames rusted in the lower corners into the dash area. Of course the package try had a big hole in it. Rust in a bunch of other places too. I bought a '69 911 I'm redoing now for 3K USD. It had far less rust than this car. Really a lot of work, unless you want to part it, and I wouldn't pay 15K Canadian for a parts car.

15K???????????/

We all want the drugs THAT guy is smoking, LOL.

Absolutley INSANE asking price. Go on ebay...tons of cars in far better shape sell for less.

And that color means nothing...all the parts that have paint on them are trashed.

ask him why he thinks it is worth that much

- we might get some more jokes out of this - dentist90's and lateapex91's are the best one's so far...

"Remember that guy named Zeke that used to be on this board?"

Yeah, he breathed so much rust dust, he's no longer around.

They're fixin' the S's and most of the E's that look like that. T's weren't worth the time and trouble. But, I doan know, if this cat is thinking those numbers, maybe he knows something we don't. ;)

Seriously, I'm one person who doesn't believe in the huge discrepancy in the prices of the 3 early models (power wise, not coupe, sunroof and Targa). My thinking is if the S's are worth gold, the T's can't be THAT far behind. Or, it the T's are worth generally a lot less, then the S's are overpriced.

However, my thinking has never been at the norm. :D

I'd walk, no, run away. And I have recently since being on the hunt for another 911.

+1 on the maybe/

It appears to be a relatively clean and original car. You can obviously never see all of the rust, but some of the pics were mildly encouraging. The one shot showing the longitudinal looked clean, and the inner shot of the trunk looked clean. The door jams and outer rockers are going to cost $3k to fix.

If it runs and drives well, has no structural rust, and isn't bent, its worth probably worth $7500 to someone who wants to dump another $20k into it to make it nice again. $15k is very optimistic. Sepia brown will never sell at a premium. Never. Check back with the seller in a few months. It wont be going anywhere at that price anytime soon.

Thanks everyone. My initial interest was grad the car and maybe it would have some stock parts that mine 72 sepia 911 is missing. Wheels, radio,
houndstooth seats, steering wheel ect... I would then consider buying and swapping parts and selling the car again. But when I saw the rust I knew it was bad - how bad and how much the thing would be worth was the question.

Who knows exactly what the seller is thinking. I think dentist90 is right... he's romantisizing this thing based on a what it might have been like when he bought it in 1984. Saskatchewan winters...

$5000 tops

I paid 7800.00 for a 1968T with a 2.2 motor here in Calgary 5 years ago. It has some rust but not as much as that car. Trouble is there are so few older Porsches for sale in Canada that anyone who has one thinks they are a collectors item.

rust is pretty normal on early 911
