FYI: Restored '75 911S 3.0 Swap - Light Yellow - No affiliation

[2ndTARGA]

No affiliation whatsoever – Maybe this has been discussed previously, but I just noticed this is for sale a few blocks away from my office and we don’t see that many AC Porsches sitting on lots in this area. Spreading the word in case anyone is interested. I’d be happy to check it out further.

Not sure what to think about it. According to this older ad, a LOT of work went into it and it was featured in Panorama at some point. VIN: 9115201955 - Porsche : 911 S Porsche 911 S Factory Sunroof Restored

Always a treat to see a '75 midyear that's not flared and sheepered. It looks good, but as you know (and I own a '75) you gotta check under everything for rust.

2ndTarga, have you stopped to look at this yet? I'm looking for a middy to do track days with, and this with the engine upgrade makes sense.

Curious about the rust in the front battery area and behind the rear glass...

Thanks in advance for any info!

This is a cool looking car. I spoke with the prior owner of the car today as I'm in the market for a Mid-Year. The prior owner had his shop do the paintwork on the car during his ownership. He did mention that the car had taken a pretty good hit to the left front fender that crumpled the inner fender and firewall and pushed the fender back a bit. He stated that the car drove smooth and straight, but that the fender wasn't correctly aligned and didn't match up well with the trunk lid or front valence. You can kind of see it if you look closely in the pics.

Other than that, it sounds like quite a bit of work was done to the car around 2009/2010 after he bought the car out of Wichita, KS.

If it was a Targa I might have bought it...

"Unfortunately, the car was involved in a front end impact but has tremendous potential."

Unfortunate indeed - and so is the price.

It's not light yellow.

It looks like Talbot yellow to me. I had a '76 coupe in Talbot years ago.

Talbot is a touch more beige. Light Yellow is more pale.

Sorry, I missed this post. I'm out of town till the 3rd but will be happy to take a look if it's still there. PM me with anything in particular you want to know about in addition to the rust questions.
