Every 911 or 912 of that vintage we have ever touched had rotted out suspension points, floor boards, etc. The suspension often looks good from the top but it's just the factory coating that you're looking at. Lift the car and poke around a bit especially at the forward points of the arms.

What I'm seeing with this car is some less than gracious repair work. The choice of base/clear is wrong for the car and shouts REPAINT. Nothing wrong with a good windows out repaint, but on a 912, alot of repaints are done cheaply, especially color changes. Hopefully this one was done properly and the clear is just dying back though it seems a little unlikely as there are panel gap issues present in one of these two pics. The other is a pretty bad pic and I can't really be sure of what it is showing other than a probably broken door stop. Need to check the door, both for flaring at the front edge and for break/tear where the door stop should be.

The engine bay has quite a bit of unworkmanlike wiring though obviously it runs, so it can be a look bad/work just fine scenario.

I think this car may have enough issues that you should really take a closer look. Any old car will have some issues, they are expected. But the goal is to know the issues BEFORE you pull the buy-it-today trigger. Not to find them out afterwards.

If it truly is largely free of rust, and does run, probably in the $6 to $7 range given the visible issues. So the price, if nothing (rust weevils) else notable are present, is reasonable in my humble opinion. Diggin' the fuchs.
