Hi guys,

I bought a $250 911. What, you might ask, is a $250 911?

Well, it's a 911T, vintage 1973. And it's ROW without (currently) a title. We'll work on that later.

Oh yeah, and it doesn't have any fenders, doors or a hood. Come to think of it, it doesn't have an interior or a speck of shiny paint anywhere. Get the picture?

So, common-sense wonders, why in the world...

Because it was $250 and it has a complete 2.4 motor in it that was supposedly running before it was parked. It's got a 915 in it, along with all other running gear and three nice Fuchs wheels. So, my foolish mind said, why not?

Anyway, it also has a 7200RPM redline tachometer.

Do any of you early 911 guys know if this is correct? It seems to me that a "T" wouldn't have such a redline? I've driven some early cars, but never an "S". But, I don't have a clear memory of the different engine redlines, etc.

Of course, the tach may have been replaced at some time. I'm just curious to see what the collective wisdom is on this thing.

Thanks!

David
