Worth saving these two?

Well deep down I wonder what it will take to make it into a 930 again. I actually know the answer, but I am trying to convince myself that it is a worthwhile endeavor. I mean, to get a 930 vin for under 50 K is amazing, but I think that tub has been butchered, cut and welded far past the point of going stock.

Ideas?

I already have a race car and other ridiculous builds, jut would at some point like to add a 930 to the collection. I think that one is way too far gone. There, i just convinced myself against.

I almost took the leap of Faith on that '76 930 that was on eBay that was a theft recovery and had no numbers but gave it up as it would require some serious finagling and anytime you have a "story" the value drops

I can't tell you how much time I have wasted over the years. For nothing

He is right.

There is always something.

Even great deals can leave bad tastes in your mouth. Something genuine is the hardest to come across.

I had someone coming to get the '78 Clean title roller on Sunday but once I checked it out Saturday I knew I would pass on them.

I was checking out the 'complete' interior and noticed how the sport seats were removed.. I asked a few times where they went without a solid response so seller tells me they weren't authentic and that someone grabbed them [Whatever that means]

So it was complete BS story, even though the parts might be worth something the body was pretty rough even for a parts car. Most likely going to pass.

Going to be on the lookout for nicer examples now.. Time to grind harder.

Seems like your expectations are low but good you passed on those. Way too much rust on that 78. That car needs to sit in covered storage for another 10-20 years and only maybe then it will be worth restoring...if values rise.

$25k is the starting point for a decent air-cooled 911. Likely an average driver quality 76-83 or below average 84-86 3.2. They are out there.

Go find the best $25k car you can find and don't even consider project cars under $20k.
