Yes this was originally a L96D color car. Apparently the original owner had it repainted a '76 911 color which is the sea-foam green you see in the pictures. The windshield has some fish-eyes. I'd need to clean it to see if it's pitted or scratched.
Not polished, just the stock finish. But I've been thinking of trying out polishing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Good luck on the house (and no, I'm not just brown-nosing a potential parts buyer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif))
Since we don't have a Dr. Evil smiley I guess it won't cost you ONE MILLION DOLLARS! How does $60 sound? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
It had a rear sway bar but it's not on the car, sorry.
It's a late '73 so it has a few things seen on '74 cars (like doors with side impact beams (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) )
We'll have to see how good the wiring harness is. The original owner was definitely in there but so far everything he did looks good (oil press and temp gauge, fuel gauge in the center console). I don't figure any kind of labor charge into parts prices. I know my time isn't worth anything (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

The PO actually got a replacement front fender which he gave to me, it's in a box. However, the damage got into the inner fender so Craig is right, it needs a front quarter. I don't think it compromised the front suspension at all. Still definitely savable.
I'd probably sell the car as-is for $3k but somebody would have to move quick as I need to dispose of it in about a week's time. |

Does it have SSI heat exchangers? IF so, I am interested (if you are still parting out the car...) that combo gauge in the dash is mighty nice too (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
IF you are still parting it out (save it if you can!!) |

Do you anticipate being able to part the car in a week's time? Don't you have a day job? Keep in mind most people will need the items shipped to them. Better just let me have at the car and be done with it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Seriously, I need cosmetic stuff. Carpet (if it's still salvagable), 914 2.0 badge, tail lights, the black and red fresh air blower knobbies, antenna and other various small knick knacks I can't recall at this time. Oh, and do you have the front bumper? Chrome? Jen *Okay, so the list is getting longer as I go back and pick over the picture. Sorry. Maybe not all cosmetic, and definitely not all small items.

Not SSI's, factory heat exchangers and whoever takes the engine has first dibs on anything attached to it. There's a whole deal going on with the gauges that I'll explain later.
Part of this is to help finance a 10 year anniversary band for my wife. I'll forward your proposition to her if I can watch the ensuing cat fight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Hopefully I can have it mostly parted out in a week. Yes I do have a day job, which I'm currently late for. I'll be off-line for a few hours until I get into work. Thanks carrion peeps |

As always I am after this piece including the bottom 3 inches of the windshield frame if it is not full of rust, I don't mind if it is cut up into sections for ease of shipping. Let me know a price

I recommend really trying to sell the whole car so someone can fix it but, DIBS on the rear bumper. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

DAMN! I knew I was forgetting something that someone was going to snatch right up! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I still vote for sell it as a whole... put another rust-free car in another part of the US! (or canada) |

Of course I'll take offers for the car seriously, if I get any serious offers. Unfortunately it almost never works that way. That's why wanting isn't the same as doing. The serious offers are for the parts, those almost always come through.
Just to sweeten the pot I'll even deliver it within a 4 hour radius of San Jose, CA this weekend for the price I mentioned. Jon |

I think I can swing that.. I'll send jeff to pick stuff up once it's figured out what all the stuff is. I remebered I also need the defroster vents and the floor/side air diverting valves. I'd like to get the wiring harness in one piece, which isn't easy, which is one reason I was offering to come up and help.. but I definitely can't do it within a week. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) east coasters need to step up! you are always complaining that there isn't any rust free cars... here's your chance to save one... 3k for the car, 2k for shipping, for 5k you'd have a better starter car than a lot of projects, including mine, when it started out! |

bondo, I can get the harness out in one piece, I've done it before. Never put one in tho (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
We'll work out something agreeable for everything you need, just don't have Jeff beat me up again, that guy is ruthless (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) tdgray, this car is nicer than mine too! But I'm too far into my project to start over. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Jon |

Cool. I'll try and think of more of the little things I need. I like to think of parting a car as saving many, not not saving one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) |
