So just to be clear, this car comes with a hot rod VW engine, a 76 twin plug 911 engine, and its original 77 2.7?

What is the condition of the original 2.7?
What are the specifications on the 76 twin plug engine?

I know killer deal right?

Well the 77 is mainly only a block and the heads. The internals were used for the 76 engine. That engine had work done at Ollies for the block and the heads (twin plug) Other than that it is a stock rebuild never been run. Setup for PMO ITBs and distributorless ignition.

So I guess it is a hot rod VW engine (that leaks oil), a 77 empty 2.7 engine, and a 76 twin plug 7R engine.

Is the white an original color?...

Its not its original nor do I think a Porsche original. This car was originally platinum metallic and then became red and then supposedly had a bare metal respray to this pearl white.

This car screams “backdate” to RSR or similar. Buy a roof off a wrecked coupe (not all that hard to find) and backdate the nose. Then do whatever you want to it. It will never be concours so make it your own
