abandoned rusty pre 73 911

Anybody know of an abandoned pre 73 911 Coupe (no Targa or cab) in New England area? I prefer very rusty. Only criteria is that it has to be complete.

No I mean rusty like it's hard to tell where the car ends and the field it's stuck in starts.
Rutsy like you can't fiure out how to pull it onto the trailer becasue every hook point will probably just rip off.

Now I'm intrigued. Are you taking a body shop class, filming an ad for rust remover, ...?

I suppose if the VIN plate isn't too rusty, such a vehicle may have it's uses.

Yep, if it's an "S" VIN, I know a guy up in Portland who'd be interested...he's done it before, and I was told here that nobody cares. I guess that's because he's such a nice guy, otherwise...has had his car in EXCELLENCE and everything....

But Shaun that can't be that rusty, it's only 2 or 3 solid weekends of work for the rust repair!

That car isn't nearly rusty enough - it has to have at least 3 muffler clamps holding the front suspension on to qualify.


When my friend & I lived in Cleveburg, he bought an old BMW 2000 (the bigger sedan, not the later 2002). We jacked it up to work on it in a parking lot, set it on 4 jack stands, and then... it suddenly fell to the ground -- the stands had speared their way thru the rusted out hulk in all 4 places. Good thing we were slow getting under it.

I know of a 71 in New Jersey and its complete. Please buy it and put me out of my misery. As you can see, I don't need another car and every time I see this car it screams at me to get it restored or do an RS clone.

PM me

Shaun,
Thank you for the kind offer but no freakin way. That's all you buddy.
It doesn't exactly satisfy my "all there" criteria. I mean it's close but not quite.
