"Worst 911 on the Planet"?

[DonNewton]

From Autoweek:

1972 Porsche 911T Targa for sale on Hemmings - Autoweek

[zippy_gg]

Ouch!

[nameisbauer]

Haha, I saw that on BevHills site and thought it be fun to make it mechanically sound daily drive it as is. I have lots of bad ideas though.

I know prices have been strengthening but you are kidding - right?

[chrisbruck]

I kinda dig it..... a true "Frankenstein"!

[nameisbauer]

One piece at a time- Johnny Cash

[reachme]

no doubt influenced by that patchwork colored bus they drove on that 1970's "Partridge Family" show

That looks like something that someone like me might buy and drag back home

[Uncle Enzo]

Id drive that all day long. Makes Magnus look like a hack. To hell with "Turbo Fever". Ive got "****-box" fever.

[Josh D]

I'd drive it. It only has 15 miles on it.

[Chris911S]

Another fine offering from the ass clowns at Beverly Hills Car Club.

I think it looks great. I'd focus on the mechanicals and suspension, put great wheels and ties on it, make the cabin a really nice place to be and drive it as is. It would be awesome. At NEMM ther was a guy with a hand rollered long hood with an amazing lobster interior and a 3.2 in the back. It was super cool !

Amen.....way cool. Go home Hank Moody!

Id buy it if it ran!

[dz-vintage]

Way cool car, but then again I think anything Porsche is way cool. I'd drive that thing anywhere anytime no changes needed.

The first two are rust buckets, I know that...

But the last car is a Frankenstein Car.....aka 959

Yeah, but the thing about the Frankencar is that it is pretty "original" looking if you know what I mean.

It is very charming in a special way, but I doubt that it will ever run well....or straight for that matter.


Pretty sure that it would not pass inspections here in DK though.

[wgwollet]

Never knew there was a Porsche dictionary with that word defined...

My take its a car "bastardized" to some point of no return...made of parts from various cars, events, happenings or beginnings .....like Frankenstein the monster .....applies to all cars of course...

but dislike that car dealership yuck ..

[miketori]

laugh you might, but when the owner of the yellow targa found out he had a 73' euro carrera he was probably pretty happy!
