Strange '72 Widebody Conversion on Ebay

[ApexNC]

I hope this message isn't out of place here.

Does anybody know anything about this '72 Widebody conversion on Ebay?

Porsche : 911 | eBay

I've been looking for a '72 911 Targa for years and when this popped up it caught my attention. But it seems to be a strange mix. The VIN 9112110448 identifies it as a '72 911T, but the listing says it has MFI which would make it a 911E. But that's not necessarily bad. I've never had one and I hear their a bear to keep in tune, but I'm fascinated by the true, pulse injection technology, as opposed to the CIS injection of the 911T.

And there's obviously more than just a little conversion on the body. It isn't exactly a "slant nose", but something else. The windows look like they're electric, which would means the doors are from a later year. I don't think that's the original dash either. And the seats aren't original. None of which really bother me. It looks well done. Just sort of strange.

But note in the engine compartment picture. the oil filler cap on the inside. The right rear body picture shows it has the correct oil filler flap for that year, so what's the oil filler tube doing on the inside of the engine compartment?? That's the strangest of all.

Anybody know what's up with this car? I was kind of surprised to see it go for just $10,600.

Something looks wrong to me about the oil level gauge too...

eeeeeh if you are going to get that just get an SC or carrera. The only thing about hte early cars thats cooler than the later ones is the simple bumpers and chrome, mirrors etc. That is all gone on that car and probably not worth returning. Craptacular to see how many of these cars went the impact bumper route back in the 80s. If the car is going to look like a later car might as well get all the upgrades that came along with them (motor, brakes, etc).

IMO, $10,600 was all the money for the car unless the motor was something special
