Worth Salvaging?

[radcon]

Am I missing something, or does this car have a lot of salvage value? I can't imagine trying to rebuild it. Check out the photos from all the different angles.

I can see them recouping the price in parting it out. The engine should be fine, the Fuchs appear to have survived, most of the interior should be okay, etc. How most of the glass survived is a mystery to me, though.

A 1977 with 115K on the clock? Not worth too much there, maybe $1500 max?

Can you get $2K out of the rest? Probably not...

I dunno, Wayne - 4 good Fuchs with tires, a pair of seats in good condition, 3-spoke steering wheel, a 915 tranny, side mirrors, rear decklid with grille, rear bumper, rear lenses, glass - all in black and Guards Red, the most interchangeable colors in Porschedom. And don't forget those rear seats in "like new" condition! How often do you find those? I think it's do-able, especially on eBay, where prices get sort of inflated anyway.

Man what a mess! I hope no one was hurt...

'77 911S with flared fenders and Carrera badging? Someone must have updated the car or my eyes deceive me...

Yeah, they were perpetratin', as Will Smith used to say. I was going to mention the flares, but you can't re-use them, can you?

Well I just paid $3500 for a black 76S a month ago Fuch's with brand new pilot's all the way around runs great real stright with lots of new stuff on it I think the P.O got tired of throwing money at it. But some pulled studs I'm driving it every day till it pops then I will timesert it and drive it some more!!
