Viewed 2 911z in Japanese mountains barn by coincidence today

[911heaven]

It's always nice to go look at any 911 that is available, especially if no one else knows about it except the owner. 10 minutes from my mountain village I got to see 2 of them. Friend of 4 years showed up today and finally took me to them. One more car I saw two years ago nearby at his mother's place, so this discussion might encompass 3 cars.

I ain't sayin I'm interested in any of these. Personally I have 2 911 project cars. I have neither the space, the time or money to take on more. I'd love to if I could. Just throwing this out here because it was fun to see them. If there were opinions, I would like to know which one you'd choose if it were you and you could only take one of them. I'm torn between all of them even though I can't take even one.

Keeping it short if I can I will send a few photos I took, describe what I can for now. Pardon for lack of detail. I only have what I have on detail. i never try to look too interested in a car I may want to buy.

1. 73T , solid body and original motor, trans and yellow was color originally vin 91135xxx
2. 80 SC not original motor but has 3.0 motor and targa. Looks original like wine red and targa.
3, 73S, not original motor, original trans, originally white color now orange. Severely rusted front floor and rockers, frp front fenders, comes with 74 S bored 3.0 motor with good carbs.

Sorry for lack of detail and no pics today on #3. I'll post some pics of #1 and #2 cars I saw today. Those 2 cars have or come with the parts missing in photos.












This is just for fun or interest, just some cars I saw for the first time today. No one else knows, even car #3 which belongs to the friend's friend. I saw that 2 years ago but I don't know where the photos are right now.

Thank you Matt That’s what Hirofumi said yesterday. We only spent 30 minutes or less looking at these because I/he knows I’m not in the market, but he promised to show me these from 2-3 years ago.
He said if I were to chose one, he would advise the 73T most of all because of all originality, solid rust free body and so on. I was torn about the SC because I just fell in love with maninblack targa pics I saw a while ago when he and M2 were having it out on the forum over COVID virus conjecture. I thought that Peru Red car he had was so sexy and my first 911 was a Targa. Still can’t get his car out of my mind and this one is some kind of color near that (maybe). A Targa would be cool too if I get out of my two current projects and need a car to tinker with. Also, Hirofumi might be a little biased since car #3 is not his though he’s stored it for years for a friend. If that car sold he wouldn’t pocket any money really.
Turns out I just dug up those photos from 2 years ago or more of #3. It looks yellow in photos but it’s a cool orange color. Original white color 73S with original tranny, but motor is long gone. It was a hot rod prior, and still would be, with a 2.7 74S motor bored to 3.0 and with headers goes with it. Needs a front floor pan for sure and some rocker side step work on rust, but could be a cool car if one was willing to take on that project. Javadog, one of my mentors on this forum said then that too many projects means something doesn’t get done! I took his advice at the time. Still, a 73 anything is a GOOD YEAR (not tire) and an S even not original is a cool thing to have I thought.

I’ll post the photos I dug up now. I couldn’t get the bonnet open that day to see inside, and car was stuck between two others. Bonnet was popped, but just couldn’t get the latch to come loose. Hirofumi wasn’t there then, just at his mother’s place (barn/farmhouse) and I never got to see inside. It will need a front floor pan and some work to the rockers.

Funny you mention it Toby! Friday nite I was zoomin a class load of 23 sports students who were hungry as Larry! Just after 9 pm when class was supposed to be over and we were talking about foreign food because it was the text chapter I said: I haven't had dinner either buds, but we are having tacos tonite! I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a flour tortilla cooked and held it in front of the camera.

I say, these are Mexican Tacos! Look at the picture in the book! Tonite we're doin chicken spicy tacos, over top of the meat, chopped red onion, tomatoes, and lettuce and avacado of course AND Jalapenos! Then I looked them all in the eye and said: these are hot Mexican peppers that will burn your mouth!!

One day you'll have to teach me how to do them perfectly like they are supposed to be done. I'm pretty good, but I want the Real McCoy tacos. I think you know how to do those. One day..

And so they will. No one knows about them. I'll save them for a rainy day when I have more time to tinker with nothing at all. Thanks!
