Last night a friend calls me up and has a 1976 911 for me to look at. The engine is in boxes and a tree fell on the rear window area, I think it can be fixed, or at least be a donor car. Must not have been a big tree. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
It gets delivered today, I'll get some pictures. If the fuchs are real they're worth more than I'm paying for the car... |

I'm a sucker for cheap Porsches; however, in this case a 1976 is not particularly desireable. You would pay far more to bring it back to life than it would be worth. Pictures may change my mind; however, it sounds like it may be a parts car.

True the 76's are not the most valuable but for a good price as you said you have got at minimum good parts ... After you evaluate it a bit and to some it depends if its a coupe or a targa you may have some great donor parts for your teener and be ready for a few for sale parts here or at the bird ...
Good luck on it .. if the price was right you can almost do no wrong ... Steve |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It's a coupe. The back window and one of the rear quarter windows are broken. The rear lenses are out. Not in too bad of shape otherwise. $400

This is torture... Haven't been able to get a hold of the guy all day.
Finally heard from him, another hour or so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif) at least he owns his own tow truck so I know we can get it here tonight. |

The current 911 and the 914 in the background blocking the driveway so there will be room for the tow truck. |

For the price you got it for you can't lose. The motor if it's in pieces and is a 2.7 may not be worth fixing. Generally to make the 2.7 " good " a fair amount of machine work ( $$$ ) is needed. If you want to make this a driver you might want to keep your eye out for a 2.4 or a 3.0 to buy and install. Window glass is not that big a deal. Does it have Fuch wheels or cookie cutters ? Good luck with the project.

Before you start parting out have a look around. The mid 70s have come on strong. The long hoods are out of this world for pricing. This has driven folks to look at the 74-76 with a glimmer.
Is there a plak on the dash? I know you said its a 76 but if its a silver anniversary it may be worth keeping. Or better yet paint it all RAT ROD Cool find jcl |

Wholesale (flip) it on Pelican. Make money. Spend it on the 914.

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

If you part it, I may be interested in F R valances, and sun visors if they are nice. Nice score.

Good Deal.. I should have the tail light lenses as well in my stash of stuff. As others have said, they are starting to come up in value, and of course, you could stick a 2.0 Teener engine in it & have a 912E to cruise around in until you build the 2.7..
