The steering wheel will recover the purchase price. Buy the car, sell the wheel, Strip the big money parts off and sell them, build it as a hot rod.

Funny how the collector car business works.
30 years from now no one will want these cars.
The hot collectible will be the Suby WRX... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Kids will look in disbelief when they hear the stories of
Subies cut up to put the engine in Granpas old Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Send it to The Metal Surgeon , with his cheapest hourly rate in Denver and the best around , thats a known Fact.. That car would be better than new and last 50+years guaranteed.

Yes. Jon does excellent work but I assume he would want to get paid and with one child headed off to college and another 2 years behind, I probably won't be starting any new projects.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) So it's gonna be all my fault Huh? At least it has rear quarters and an ass end. I look forward to watching your 911 save!!!

I would have done the same thing but I have a 1973 suby powered VW Thing to do for my better half. Adriatic blue and air conditioning were the two must have's...

912s aren't far behind 911s these days.

I just picked up a 68 911L, trying to get what I can, while I can.

it was stored under a plastic tarp. The body was fairly solid but the tarp made sure to keep the moisture in to give the surface rust a good head start. Front pan and floors were gone but thats true of many of these cars. Buyer drove up from SC to pick up the car.

Thanks for all the input. Working on bringing it home this week.


All the comments were an eye opener for me. Since I live out west in the desert, if someone offered me a vehicle like this I would say, pull off usable parts and compost the rest.
