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.

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.

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.

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

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.
