It's been a while since I've been on this forum.
A friend of mine is looking to get rid of a 911T. His sister bought it back in the 80s or 90s. It needed some work so he started digging into it to fix it up. Life happened and now the car sits mostly disassembled years later with a brand new paint job under years of dust. There are boxes of new parts and old parts scattered between his house and her house. They just want to see it gone. They offered to sell it to me, but don’t know what it’s worth. I don’t know enough about Porsches to know either which is why I came to you.
As you can see from the pictures, it’s a basket case. If I were to purchase this from anyone else, I would expect ½ the parts to be missing, but I trust that he knows what is and isn’t missing. It may just take a while to track it down. He says he has most of the parts and several new parts. There are 3 pictures of receipts for some of the parts and work that they ordered from Krynock. Take a look through those. I could try to type them up if you can’t read them.
It has a new dry sump pump. New pistons, cylinders, heads.
He said the cam chain update is included (I have no idea what that is). He still has all of the glass, trim, misc body rubber, mechanical fuel injection pump (not sure about the entire system, but he didn’t mention tossing it).
Some of the parts that it needs: Carpet, Seats, Dash Cover, one new stainless heat exchanger, cam chain slipper (?).
While everything has been sitting indoors the entire time, some of it has been in a non-climate controlled garage or basement, so you can see a bit of mildew/mold/dust on any of it.
I’m not worried about taking on a project of this size for time or skill, but I gasped when I saw the total on the 1992 receipt for parts. So I’d also appreciate and suggestions on other heavy hitters on the budget that could remain. I’ve built a few engines, but a piston engine would be new for me (yes, I’m a rotary nut). I don’t mind learning.
The VIN is 9112 100019. What can you learn from that?
It’s possible the car is worth a lot more than I would want to buy it for, but it should also help him get a ball park asking price if he ends up selling it to someone else.
Thanks for your help everyone. Shaun.
