And a 3 gauge at that.....(see? I'm learning)

plumber 02-09-2018 08:10 AM

correct, probably still worth $$$

Toast54 02-09-2018 08:20 AM

Might be a good starting point for someone who wants an air-cooled to tinker with.

ItzaMe 02-09-2018 08:23 AM

So wants a $2k deposit and I’d have to get a flight from CLE to AZ this weekend idk if it’s a scam or not but he sent me title pic also and those above.

It’s a lot of money just to hold it till 3pm today...

Let me know if I can PayPal him and still be safe if he’s a scammer??

Sent me address of where ppl are meeting him at 2pm also.

Let me know this crap gets frustrating..

That is the only way you will get a deal. Deals happen for those that work for it and take chances.
Ask for a photo of his drivers license and send the money. you will have a 912 and not the 911 you wanted, remember that.

ficke 02-09-2018 08:29 AM

That is a 20K car if it does not have rusted out rockers.

ItzaMe 02-09-2018 08:37 AM

DUDE is super sketchy. Will update after 1pm

I respectfully disagree.

These cars rusted while you looked at them and this one looks to be a mess. Certainly not a project for a first timer, or someone who wants a 911 for 20K. Wasn't there a thread on a similar 66, 3 gauge 912 recently? Is this the same one?

I wouldn't waste my time or money, especially if the seller seems sketchy. I think you'd be heading down a very long and expensive road, and would blow your budget just on body work.

I love 912's but they're not 911's.

Pass. It's not a cash cow flip and it's not what you want. I've seen the other cars that caught your eye. For a keeper you need to be looking at impact bumper cars.

There is no reason for chasing bargain basement prices 911s. 90% of these ads are scams and the other 10% are sold within minutes to dealers.

Financially you are way better off setting you budget to $30k and vetting cars/owners properly without the stress of rushing to pick up a $20k bargain beater. $30k gets you a good 76-83 911 or 912.

And all 911s will need work so you always have a project whether it's a $20k car or a $50k car.

The car I had was a 912 Widebody wit ha 2.2 from a 911 in it but yes I'm looking for a 911 but this was a very potential car that I'd like to just get running and drive as-is and worry about cosmetics later.

ANYWAY DUDES A SCAMMER. Straight POS...

Talked to him on the phone, told him to send me pic of his L's

Blah blah blah turns out the sh#thead got some pics off Beverly Hills Porsche club off a '65 911 front tub and after google searching all his images he sent finally got a match..

One of the pictures he sent me was tons of receipts and one has a waster mark from a shop and he said he "took those pics two days ago no editing or anything"

Whats a dumb@ss like going way out of his way to scam and the easiest part he messes up..

Good luck to you. Really. You will need it given where you are headed with the p-car "bargain" finds of yours over the last few years, if I recall correctly.

Listen to Matt. Get his car.

Go thorough all the cars I receomnded.

3-5 were daily runners no rust 18-20K steel widebody 911's some would calll sheepers but they were super nice and very ideal! No ugly kits just turbo steel widebody and nice cars that I missed out on.

There was a gold salvage car I really wanted that was being sold by a younger couple i SLEPT on it was such a deal oh well not going to think about those cars.

Those were cool and I'm looking for something similar since I can now get one and not have to worry about tuition payments.

Anyway, yeah this guy is an idiot. Said he is law enforcement and sent me a google image screenshot of 'him' hahaha

Now I told him I sent him a deposit and he wanted a photo so i sent the photo of the '65 911 tub and he was clueless.

Dudes a clown going to see how long I can keep this going
