Found these today. Worth buying????

[Roadman]

I found these today in up state NY. I was wondering if theye are worth picking up for my project.
I am looking for a buildable motor/trany for a fiberglass dune buggy project. I would like to get at least 150 HP.

Anyway.....
Car 1; (Black car below)
Chassis #4732911053. I beleive this is a '72. The badge on the back reads 914-1.7.
Engine # ???????
When I went to find the engine number I found a tag riveted over the id # in the original position of a 2.0 id #. The original # has been ground off. I was told by the current owner that his father purchased the car many years ago for parts and never drove it. He also said the PO had raced the car. Based on this i assume the tag is from an engine builder. The tag number is 5573AP-903799. It also has a logo on it. It is an engine silouet with an Impala/Deer inside a circle above it. It would be nice to know about the engine and builder if this is the case.

Car 2; (Grey car Below).
Chassis # 4702909505. Is this a '69?
Engine # ??????. Cannot read complete # but it starts with WO and is in the 1.7 location.
This car was run for several years by the current owner but parked for the last 7 after the rear end rusted out.

There is also an engine on the ground.
Engine # GD000157 in the 2.0 location. As far I can see this is from a '76 Transporter what ever this is. A bus?

There is also a set of 4 wheels that I have never seen before. I was told these are Porsche but am not sure. I tried to load pictures but had no luck. Can someone please advise me on how to do this?

I would be great full for any info and or advise as to wheather these are worth picking up. As I am only intreased in the drive trains I would be getting rid of the sheet metal very CHEAP or maybe even free for the hauling. I will need to transport the parts to Wisconsin. I do not want to carry sheet metal this far.

Thanks to all who reply.

Worth buying? If there are parts you can use, and you can snag the reallly cheap, maybe.

To get 150hp, there won't be much you can use of those engines besides a case. The easiest way would be to build up a Raby kit. You'll need a decent exhaust, dual carbs (or perhaps SDS FI.) The stock FI won't get you there.

The 2nd & 3rd VIN digits indicate the year, so they would be a '73 and '70.

I don't think those are Porsche factory wheels. Perhaps Empis?
