Definitely a treasure...what a haul!

If those are as rust free as they appear to be in those pics, I would list them individually on eBay rather than to spend your life parting them out little by little. Europeans (and those living in the US rust belt) love rust free shells like this to restore their rusty ones, and they browse American eBay and Craigslist looking for shells like those.

The 912 and 356 engines are pretty valuable too...particularly the 356 blocks. I would post the 356 engine block numbers up here on Pelican, Rennlist, and the 356 registry and see if they can be matched to anyone's car. They would be very valuable to make a 356 numbers matching. Good 912 engine cores are hard to find too.

I think you are 1 year off on your 911s...often the titles on these old cars show the production year instead of model year, particularly if they were Euro market cars later imported to the USA. The yellow Targa pictured is a long wheelbase (you can tell by the torsion bar hole...there is a bigger gap between the hole and the rear wheelwell) which means it is a '69. The green 911 Targa appears to be a '68 or '69 (has the door handles unique to that year).

EDIT: has the smaller horn grill openings, so I think it's a '69 too.

Good luck, and congrats on your find!
