value of 1966 912 complete parts car

[itsa914]

Hey gang, just thought I would ask here. Long story, cousin of father in-law knows a guy...... anyway ends up a complete 1966 912 in a garage for 15yrs. The floor pans are shot and has 1 ft section of bondo on drivers side rear fender over a deep bent. It has other rust & dent issues also. Its a coupe, the motor won't turn, stock steel rims with Porsche hub caps, interior is very nice, 5 green face guages and has what looks to be a complete tool kit. Been in the same family since new.

Looking at this as just a parts car. Any idea on the going rate of a parts car of this vintage. The 912 does share alot of parts with the same era 911 correct? Looking at ebay and on other sites it seems early 911 / 912 parts have some good value, no?

The price is way cheap (under $700) and I can't pass it up. Wife gave me the green light so I bought it.

I don't have any pictures, father in-law called why I was on the road and we went and looked at it. I pick it up next Saturday.

If ebay prices are close, the wood steering wheel alone may cover what I paid for the car.

So did I just waste my money or does it sound like I did ok? I usually buy a couple of dead 914 a year and part them to help support my 914 and my auto crossing addiction I never parted a 911 / 912 before.

rust in any early car is no surprise.

I love my '67 even though it was years of rust repair and I just found a new part that's pretty bad.

912's go up in value every day. if it's not a complete basket case, then it's certainly worth the resto. mine didn't need pans, but it did need the front hump area (which was a HUGE PITA).

take some pics and post them.
