I'm not in the market, just curious.

Would not this be worth a lot more than asking price?

IMHO, not too good to be true.
1) Raising Lazarus from the dead
2) 912, not 911
3) Missing drivetrain

Just a car for sale.

912 soft window targa
 

I think it could be a very nice driver - a 912 soft window targa with a nice original color combo. Rust is the big question, mechanicals should be no problem.

In the era of $75k 914’s…it looks like a fair buy to me.

I was just looking at that. Wasn’t suspicious at all

Thanks all, would be too good to be true if a 911 zipper window?

Must have been a leaky barn, hey?

Yes, 911's soft windows would be at least double that. I just sold this one for $30,000.

I can almost smell the mouse poop.

15-20k is fair for complete body

When you see a flat sheet of metal where intricate stampings are expected, you need to budget a fat 5-figures to get it right.

Keep looking !

Really amazing to see the rear plastic window and targa top intact.

And apparently , there's more to the story:

Treasure trove!

And not Wyoming.

I sure could use one of those LWB coupe tubs...

Looks like Runge, not the builder in MN, another Runge. He's in Millerton, NY I think, near the CT border. Nice dude, his son is real good with the Celette Bench. He doesn't like selling so when he does, he usually gets all the money.

Kachi,

I wouldn't underestimate the luck of the Irish Green.
