Wondering the value of my 66 912.

Hey Guys,

Im almost scared to ask if I over paid for my project. Its my project car, Ive already replaced the rear deck and ordered a new bumper. I have also lowered the car but it is to low now... (Have not had time to raise it back up some)

Its a 66 912, 3 gauge with a vw 1915. Paints pretty good, really rust free AZ car which is nice. It is a restored salvage car, It was hit in the rear prior to 2000 when the previous owner purchased it pretty much the way it sits now. It came with 911 seats (and the old seats) and a couple other goodies probably worth about 2ish k. Interior was redone and feels really nice inside.

For some reason they decided to wide body it. I was wondering if / when I decide to take it down to the metal if it would be worth it to convert it back to a narrow body. (Like the look better)

I live in AZ and I have been daily driving it since January with no issues. Tell me what you think, I paid 12,250 for it. If only there was a way to remove the restored salvage if I fully restored it.

Either way I think it will be a fun project to restore with my son in a few years. (9 months right now =D)

When I bought it.

I think you could sell it for what you paid so, you did not pay to much for it.
The question is where do you go from here with out going upside down $ in this?
Project cars or usually a sure way to have more in something than it is worth, so if you do anything to this car you will most likely have more into it than it is worth.
But how do you measure fun? If you enjoy working car bodies you could get rid of those awful rear LWB flared fenders that do not center the rear wheels and improve the car considerably. You will still spend a lot of money on parts, wheels, bumpers, trim, etc. But that is a lot of fun, I have done it.
If you want a finished 912 buy one and sell this, if you want a project, keep it. Or live with it the way it is to stay whole money wise.

Here are some of the pro's con's I see.

Pro's
I can put what ever drive train in there and make it a Frankenstein with out upsetting the whole world saying I mutilated a perfect 912.
Really good platform to take back to narrow body. As I said there is pretty much 0 rust on the car.
Its a good driver right now. Drove it to work today =D
Good price for a no rust turn key 912.
Not sure if I would restore if I would ever sell it.

Cons
Under powered 1915
4 speed, hard on the freeway
wide body
salvage title
Still want a 911 as well that I cant afford =/
