This is right on. I have seen cars that have been flooded, then stripped down and washed out. There will always be problems in the future with electrics no matter how well you clean them. You can get the body, body cavities, and the rest pretty cleaned out and dried, then WD-40 every single nook and cranny. I have seen cars saved this way and there weren't too many long term problems (that I have heard of). The 911 can come apart pretty easily and you can get to stuff, but everything needs to come out. EVERYTHING.
I would buy it, but I would buy it knowing I would keep it for a long while, because not many people would want it because you would need to be truthful about it. It could be a really good car to you, especially if the motor is OK and so is the trans. I think maybe $7500-$8500 would be fair even with this title.
The most important part of your question, is that YOU KNOW THE HISTORY, and if this history is OK with you, then you're good to go.
I mean really, I know of 911s in Seattle and places where it always rains, and these cars are always outside, and always wet, so the water has to all come out sometime. It's just getting the salt out.
