I just picked up this '65 912 and now i'm reconsidering whether I should restore it. It currently has a type 1 vw engine in it which will most likely need to be replaced as it has been sitting open in the elements with no carb on it. It also has some fiberglass flares as well as bumpers and a whale tail, though I got the original bumpers and decklid with it so those will be going back on. The rust seems to be very minimal with just the front pan being affected so it's a pretty solid car. The body is in good shape and pretty straight. I originally planned on dropping a 2.7 into it and making it into a little hot rod, but now i'm thinking it may be a shame to hot rod out such an early car (though clearly somebody already has tried). I really want a long nose 911, but maybe it would be better to just sell this project on and get an sc and backdate it depending what I can get for the 912. What are your thoughts on the value of the car as it sits?
