Garage
I bought a car similar to the one you're looking at, straight 74' 911, engine issues, 2nd gear issues and a little rust although the rust was somewhat minor. The guy wanted $6000.00, then 5 then 4 then 3, I offered $2000.00 and he took it. I figured I'd learn a little and have fun in the garage tinkering if all else failed I could part it out and get my money back. Anyway, rebuilt the engine myself with help from a local Porsche guru, the 2nd gear was simply a linkage adjustment. The rust is your worst enemy on an early 911, the rust on mine was fairly minor, I would check that out real good before you buy. Major rust is simply not repairable. Good luck!
