Cheap 911S starter project ?

Or more likely, the parts needed for somebody to, errr, fudge a bit....since a "911S" Is worth quite a bit more than a "911T"...

Ask the seller for the VIN number...then note cars for sale. You may run across this number again.

Personally, I wouldn't touch the item.

this is just wrong.


what good could come from this type of sell.

hmmmm ed

ah, darn... the under dash production number doesn't come with it. So much for fixing up my old 911T!!

The funniest part of this is that this has been happening for decades. Used to be someone needed a front clip and whatever... and decided to use the "Best" combination of whatever was there. So what? Then certain cars got valuable. Maybe people should start thinking a LOT harder about how much more valuable an S vs E vs T really is.

True story- in the earlier 80s I aquired a lightly enhanced 71 911T coupe. It had no engine/trans. Stolen. I found a wonderful 71 911 2.2S engine and trans from a friend who was putting his RS drivetrain in the car. I swapped some suspension and electrical bits so it all matched and felt with all sincerity that I had a car superior to any stock 911S. After all, it was a total 911S in drivetrain AND it was lighter. That made it a better sports car! Yes. [Don't forget that hardly any of the Porsche/PCA types had the slightest clue what an S/T was. But the hand full of Porsche DRIVERS did.] When I acquired a real 73 RS this car started seeming gentee,l so I put it up for sale.... as a 1971 911S. The first guy who looked at it took it to a local Porsche shop for a PPI and it failed. I was shocked! The shop had issues that it wasn't an S chassis number. I remember thinking how nuts it was that someone cared what the stupid chassis number was. It had ALL the good power train! What else could it have been???!

The next guy loved it and bought it.

My how times have changed. I sure wish we were back in the days when these were for USING.

There is at least one 'dealer' in that area who plays pretty fast and loose with p-cars. I suspect you won't be able to get the VIN, and I guarantee there is no actual title with this clip, so anyone planning to re-tag a T will potentially have difficulty registering a car with this S VIN.

The usual dodge is to apply for an Alabama title, which is as valuable as toilet paper. It means little because other states (and US Customs) is aware the Alabama titles can be granted with no inspection and virtually no paper trail.
