I'm just starting to learn about 911s. Why is the '76 not desirable?


They were a 2.7 L engine that had a lot of trouble (mostly due to emissions equipment):

Heres a slightly better picture of the damaged rear of the car. There are dents at the top of the window on both sides, don't know how easy that would be to fix.

2.7 gets a bad rap due to the thermal reactors ( basically a catalytic converter ) low compression, and crappy cams. HOWEVER, if you plan on a complete rebuild, the case, crank, rods and head are just fine for a blaster. Toss the pistons, exhaust and cams and do a complete rebuild. the thermal reactors contributed to the head stud issue that was already prevalent so upgrade the studs as you SHOULD anyway

Have you had a chance to check the usual areas for rust yet? You are already ahead just with the wheels. If the tub is solid, you are golden.

Looks good as far as I have seen so far, mostly at night and drunk... but I think the rustproofing works.

I'll be looking more thouroghly wednesday when I'm home from work.

I'm working on uploading pictures from my phone.

I have found some good stuff in the trunk.

The rear seats
rear lenses, but cracked
sunvisors
some other stuff...

But I was suprised to find the tool kit in a leather wrap inside of an old plastic bag that says porsche on it. What's that worth? The tools are a little rusty, pics coming soon.

This would be a great RS/RSR conversion build. Make sure you cover that back window to keep pollen/bugs/rain out. If the chassis is relatively rust free you could really have fun with it. Fiberglass front/rear bumpers, a ducktail spoiler and some flares. Have you figured out what you are going to do with it ?

Are you sure it is not a 912E ?
That spark plug socket looks more 356 than 911.
Can't make out rear emblem.
Just sayin'
Have you seen the engine ?

I should have said the spark plug socket doesn't look too 911ish , too long.

I finally got the drivetrain! It's in pieces but I'm hoping I can get it together soon.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1343413205.1.jpg)

Not bad for $400 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) total...

This score just keeps getting better and better. Check the smugglers box for a gold bar. I would really hate you then. ;-)

All of the engine parts are rebuilt already, and the transmission is still assembled.
I'll get some better pictures today.
