Agreed! I thought it was a bargain for what it is and how it was cared for.

Ummm….it was a kind of a parody thread started almost 8 years ago…check out some of the original cars. There were even dudes PMing me that were pissed about having their car in this thread…

Interesting it’s still chugging along…

Thank goodness I bought mine back in the late 80's. My wife just told me to get back to work on it. It's completely apart and in boxes now. I have to finish the rockers and lower door post, then of course paint and assemble. I've had a couple of people ask about buying it, but then what would I have to play with in my retirement.

Well, they are still out there.
This was found and bought about a hour away from me

[Matt Monson]

Doesn’t count unless you state the purchase price.

Sadly I didn't score it, but trying to help the guy who did , but pointing him in the right direction and inform him what to watch out for.

What's the back story? Would love to hear about how that got found and bought, if you can share.

[Mocker]

Some unsuspecting person got ripped off. Yay!

LOL. But I agree.
Depending on the situation this could be a sad story.
I would hate to think it’s some middle class widow getting the shaft.

I hope not, too. $5000 is robbery.

[Matt Monson]

What a bargain.

I can't get that $5k 911S out of my head. Such a perfect-looking project! Drool.

[matt930s]

That's more than a six figure project that'll bring upwards of $150K if done perfectly. Personally, I'd rebuild the engine, check for and repair any rust and make it a patina-ed driver.

What a find.
