I have a 72 that's been in storage for over 30+ years and has rust to the point the doors don't close very well. I would like some opinions on whether I should restore it or part it out.
Wanted to restore for my first granddaughters 16 b-day but she doesn't seem to have interest in it at 11. These cars have never been flashy but I thought she would kinda like it.... Well anyways what would you do if this car was yours? What should I plan for cost? Injectors been missing for 30years so it may need a rebuild plus it has 99000 miles on it Interior is in nice conditions. No tears Also is anyone from Ohio Dave ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 404] ![]() ![]() Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

My experience is that teens often end up with the first car being a sacrificial lamb (at least with my two). A Volvo wagon and Mazda Tribute gave their lives to save my kids, and they both survived the teen years and are now good, careful drivers.
I know of a 914-6 that was destroyed by the son of a longtime Porsche friend when he used that as a first car for his son. With so many drivers so distracted and brainless, a more modern car with the latest safety features may be more appropriate for a new driver. |
