Looks like a car from the seventies (78 or 79 possibly) that someone has converted to a "Turbo Look" by adding flares. The wheels and engine are not original either. Find out what all has been done to it. Most of the time a Porsche will lose it's value once you start altering its originality.
What are you looking to get out of it? A track car, a driver..?

It has a 911 engine in it, but perhaps from a different year. The red shroud over the fan was found on cars from 78-83. A 76 would have a green shroud. A 78-83 3.0 liter engine is not a bad thing , it's a better engine than the earlier 2.7. Carbs would not have been original on any 911 after 1974 (I think).
If you look near the base of the fan on the right side you will see the engine number (near the oil temp sensor). Also look for rust! Check under the battery, the door sills, under the headlights. Take it to a mechanic that knows air cooled cars and ask for a pre purchase inspection (PPI). Also, check out a book called "The Used 911 Story".

That is your heater blower fan. It forces air from the heat exchangers into your cabin to keep you warm and toasty.

Since it is a NA car, you won't have a FMIC. However, it may have an auxiliary oil cooler. Check the rt front fenderwell in front of the tire.

Depending on how well the flares were done and if they are steel, I would value it between 7k - 9k. Looks like a lot of work.
