man, i'd love to have a 72 911 of any flavor. most people on this board would love to have a 72...

congrats tweez. she's a little rough, and there is more than likely some rust that's going to have to be dealt with, but you have the makings of a real sweetheart.

the targa top is no big deal, that's easy to have fixed. the paint is very tired, but you can probably get it to shine up pretty well. the big thing is rust and the mechanicals.

i understand that this car has sentimental value for you. that's fine, but be advised that a 72 911 is salable, even in that shape, for more money than my 84 carrera is worth. how cool it will be if you can get it going, mostly through your own efforts.
