912/6
Aside from the fantastic copy this guy has written any thoughts on this 912/6?
I'm thinking of selling my original untouched 87 and either getting a project I can backdate or something like a 912 and installing a 3.0-3.2. https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/6035154047.html Last edited by MAH77; 03-26-2017 at 05:56 PM.. |

Run. That chassis is too trashed for his price. If you had a solid bare tub ready for paint and that car complete you would have a fun project. His description of the cage and sheet metal repairs are scary.

I like how he doesn't have time to enjoy this car because of a young family, but he will trade for a Porsche or Lotus!

I gotta give some credit to this car, someone had a look and they did it. They didn't hang a million badges on it, or make it all snazzy, they made it clean and apparently very fast and loud. For under $30,000 it's probably a lot of car, and pretty light. Sure you can backdate an 80s car, but you'll never shed some of those pounds, and nothing drives like a fast SWB car, I don't care what fenders or hood you bolt on.
Hate on this car all you want but the guy that buys it will be smiling, I promise you that. ---Adam

The guy seems to be as honest as possible about the condition of the car. Like Adam said you aren't touching a SWB 911 anywhere near this price. if you want an Outlaw style car to have fun driving this would be a good start.
The only thing that makes me want a lower price is the redneck floor repair. Installing floors is my least favorite thing to do. Correction; I hate doing it! I've done a couple Mustangs and it sucks. I probably would never buy the car because of it. I would rather buy a $40-50k car that someone already did the rust repairs on but needs other work.

I am in Nashville and would be happy to take a look at it for you. About all I am qualified for is to take pictures(or a walkaround video) and send them along, but would happily do so if you are indeed interested.
Cheers, Geoff |

Wanna see the homemade sheet metal on the pan and rear firewall.

Of course they are. It is a well written and honest ad. But he has really only photographed its limited assets. I sold a much nicer, but totally stock 67 912 last year for around his ask. I wouldn't pay more than $12-15k for this car. But then I'm cheap and spoiled.
