someone out there should grab this car and restore it. Being rust free and actually not obviously restored before, one just has a wreck to deal with and that is a lot easier than repairing rust

I’d think it would more likely be the victim
of a VIN Swap by an unscrupulous shop...

I agree with the "not obviously restored before", but I don't know how "rust free" it is if the rear trunk lid is any indication.

VINs are worth 17k now...?


EDIT: Someone should toss that into the VIN database pronto, along with a screen shot of the listing.

Doesn't look any worse than Sir Andy's six that McMark is working on.

It has the transmission. I’ll bet they looked at the wrong spot for the engine s/n. It’s a real six for gods sake. It looks like that it has less rust than we would have found on an east coast car in 1976.

We know that there is the talent on this board to reconstruct this poor car! Someone should step up!

I nominate George Hussey to step up.


I know what a true restoration COSTS with a good carcass and this isn't it.


This is a hole looking for $50-$100K depending on how well it's executed.

side note.... its an early chassis number so the serial/type number stamped on the spine , right behind the bell housing on the trans, is correct..

they always sell high, making this one of their better deals .. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I agree.
This car is a TOTAL disaster.
The amount of metalwork and bodywork will be astronomical.
I could see easily $50k in just that.
The drivetrain could easily be another $35k+.
And the engine will be non numbers matching (it's blank).

Can you build the rest of the car and still get a profit???

Sometimes it's just better to walk away....
Not everything is worth saving.

Great project for those that think it's worth saving. Walk the talk.

Back in the day looking under those same racks was some real hidden gems. But I think that's back when Rudy Klein was running it, it's now his son Ben.

There has been a steady stream of shells coming out of there for a couple of years now. Mostly 356 and early 911, this is the first 914 I've seen.
