No affiliation, looks like the poor thing will be in two halves if moved again

Apologies if this has been linked to elsewhere

I will only reveal the VIN to the new owner so please don't ask.


Someone knows the value is in the VIN number. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) We may never know what poor person is going to get stuck with a VIN swap down the road.

I've seen worse but not much worse. You put a fork lift under that and it should bend in half. The money required to restore would far exceed the value once done.

If you were to get this for free you would still be underwater.

I lived in the northeast for a long time, and that's the worst Porsche I've seen. Those carbs will never ever be usable again. The mag case is probably no good too. You could probably sandblast the wheels and get maybe $500 for five of them! I'd give him about a grand for it - for any conversion parts on another car. Wow.

My friendly shop once described a much better car than this as " this car for FREE would be EXPENSIVE " (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I saw that car on Ebay this afternoon. It is only going to sell for the VIN tags. Jack it up and drive a new one under it.

Wow! Worst I've EVER seen! This brings "project car" or "needs restoration" to a new level. Holy cow! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Im in my iPad now, otherwise I'd do it myself, but someone should post one or a few of those photos here. Eventually they won't be visible on EBay any longer and this is one for the archives.

The claim that it has been sitting in a garage since '75 doesn't pass the smell (or look)
test. Maybe if the owner drove it into the ocean first and then parked it there.

Remember about a year ago somebody found a car sitting since '86 and it looked okay
except for an inch of dust.

This is a one owner car that sat in garage since 1975.

Wow, was that garage at the bottom of Massachusetts Bay?


I was told by the Porsche GuRU do not attempt to turn the engine over there is no need.

There you have it, nothing to see here. Perhaps the Porsche GuRu will end up with this pile of Hopeium!

Without the VIN number up front one could be buying a /4 chassis.

I believe the VIN for this one was posted in another thread on the world? For $1000 I would take it. The "garage" must have been one of those boat houses with the car suspended over salt water.

Do you remember it? I just remember his attempts to sell the engine and some other parts particularly. They were offered on ebay some months ago.
