My first 911 was a 1970 targa I got for $1000. Reportedly had a bad fuel pump and seller couldn't afford to fix it. Car was at the dealer, where they had estimated $800 for the job.

I had it trailered home and that next weekend I dove in on the pump replacement. I unbolted the cover plate off the bottom and found the fuel pump unplugged. Plugged it in. Car was running 15 minutes later.
