I was thinking the same thing. Look like the ST flares. Glass or steel conversion? I'd say it's a pretty good deal.

Buy it and buy an RSR rear bumper, ditch the deco on the front bumper, ditch the reflector, swap the tail for a duck, ditch the mirrors, polish the paddles on the wheels...
You've got a smoke'n start on an ST or RSR clone. Hopefully the body is in steel. Looks like a very cool green color underneath it all.
Price is "decent". Keep in mind, you'll probably spend a grand getting the tranny right. (you'll probably spend another $10k before you're happy). BUT... early 911's are getting scarce.

If you pass, let me know offline via email.
Stuck in 1st, I would attack linkage first. I bet something is messed up.

Get the actual engine number. If it's stock it should be a 911/03. This is exactly the same as the US counterpart 911/07. 125hp and 130 ftlb at 4200.
Thr front flares look to be special but the rears look to be standard 930 flavor. All hard to say from pictures. The fronts may be special (if they're metal) because it was very rare to have flares available for a long hood. That phase/fad didn't "really" come on strong until the 930 hit the market. If you recall... lot's of long hoods were being converted to the short hood big bumper cars. It looks as though this one "almost" ended up that way. It was probably too much work... that also might be a hint that fiberglass is lurking.

If the clutch is bad you should still be able to get it out of gear with the car not running if every thing is hooked up I would suspect a boggered 1st slider not cheap.

A good used 901 can still be found pretty cheap.

That's a 911 tranny in 70 and 71. A little harder to find.

Not in a 70-71 car. Too bad. I just sold a couple of them to another fellow Minnesotian.

There is an individual on the pelican board that is parting out two rusted out 70 911's....just in case you need tranny parts or linkage stuff.
