I have a chance to pick up a running '76 S Targa with about 100K miles on it. It was originally orange but repainted white. Paint on hood and fenders is peeling. Interior is kind of shabby. Body is straight. It may have floor board rust as it has been covered with a rotting tarp. Has original 6 X 15 Fuchs. I can get this car for around $3K, maybe a little less. I have the cash but that depletes my car funds. Should I get it and try to make a little $$ with it? Get it for a 6 conversion? Or should I run?

a '76 911S should have at least some of the Thyssen steel in it and be relatively free from rust. 100k mi in 30 years sounds pretty low, especially for a car that is obviously not a garage queen - 911's love to be driven and hate to be stored. it should have aluminum calipers and struts to match, that'd be a help for a 5-lug conversion. the engine is probably a core... you should at least break even on parts if you have the facilities and patience to strip it. a Targa top in good condition is worth some $$$. a '76 will require emissions inspection in CA, which may be why it got parked in the first place... have a look at the latest Excellence for an idea on early 911 values. |
