When I purchased 1974 VIN 47402904078 recently, it came with a second rear trunk lid which I don't need.
As can be seen from the photos, it's painted and in very good condition. No rust, wrinkles, or dents. However, as can also be seen, a rib is pulled away (i.e. separated) from the skin.
It's available for pickup in San Bruno, CA (94066).
It can also be shipped at the buyer's expense.
$175 + shipping OBO.
Thanks for looking,
Bob
Too bad it`s so far away form Florida .
... price drop
No one needs a rear trunk lid ?
Actually I do but I'm in Texas.
I’ve been Watching this one as I’m in need of one except I’m not sure how I feel about the skins pulling away from the rib. What would cause that and what could be done to make it right?
Sorry, Wes, I don’t know the answer to your question. I do have a knowledgeable and well known / respected (but also quite busy) resource I’ll ask.
In the mean time, maybe someone will chime in ...
Thanks I wouldn’t mind having one fixed properly depending, and your close enough I could pick it up. I have a very good looking one but I know it has a problem so.
I’ve been told by a knowledgeable restorer (who did a full, bare metal restoration on my 1967 911S) that the best way to address the pulled rib is with a urethane automotive body panel adhesive. He mentioned the brand ‘SEM’, and related that this method is preferred by automakers for panel reattachment, and is stronger than other ways, such as spot welding.
"My guess is the rib didn’t “pull away” '
Thanks for your input. Your guess about what happened and how to address it makes good sense. Unfortunately, I'm in North Carolina and the lid is still in San Bruno, so I've never seen it.
I probably should have referred to it as a "rib / skin separation".
OK - How much is shipping to Houston, Texas?
Anyone on the West Coast need a rear trunk lid ?
