Thank you Matt That’s what Hirofumi said yesterday. We only spent 30 minutes or less looking at these because I/he knows I’m not in the market, but he promised to show me these from 2-3 years ago.
He said if I were to chose one, he would advise the 73T most of all because of all originality, solid rust free body and so on. I was torn about the SC because I just fell in love with maninblack targa pics I saw a while ago when he and M2 were having it out on the forum over COVID virus conjecture. I thought that Peru Red car he had was so sexy and my first 911 was a Targa. Still can’t get his car out of my mind and this one is some kind of color near that (maybe). A Targa would be cool too if I get out of my two current projects and need a car to tinker with. Also, Hirofumi might be a little biased since car #3 is not his though he’s stored it for years for a friend. If that car sold he wouldn’t pocket any money really.
Turns out I just dug up those photos from 2 years ago or more of #3. It looks yellow in photos but it’s a cool orange color. Original white color 73S with original tranny, but motor is long gone. It was a hot rod prior, and still would be, with a 2.7 74S motor bored to 3.0 and with headers goes with it. Needs a front floor pan for sure and some rocker side step work on rust, but could be a cool car if one was willing to take on that project. Javadog, one of my mentors on this forum said then that too many projects means something doesn’t get done! I took his advice at the time. Still, a 73 anything is a GOOD YEAR (not tire) and an S even not original is a cool thing to have I thought.
I’ll post the photos I dug up now. I couldn’t get the bonnet open that day to see inside, and car was stuck between two others. Bonnet was popped, but just couldn’t get the latch to come loose. Hirofumi wasn’t there then, just at his mother’s place (barn/farmhouse) and I never got to see inside. It will need a front floor pan and some work to the rockers.
