The rear of that car has a couple of valuable parts. The Euro / 1974 bumper with the small bumperettes will sell easily, and if you are very careful removing it, (lots of soaking with PB blaster or similar) the rear reflector is NLA right now and hard to find in good condition.

Can I send back the boxter wheels in exchange for the fuchs? Lol Hehe! Unfortunately don't have a use for them, but I could make you a deal? Are you interested? Thomas Pm me and let me know what kind of deal you can make. They are the right color too . How is the condition? Especially the red portions? We're they painted or powder coated? |

I would love to restore that 911. Value has gone up on old 911.

I bought a 75 911s in California in 1990. Had no idea it was considered to be the weakest of all 911's.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Drove it cross country in 4 days. The thing never skipped a beat. Got it back to NY eventually, and thrashed the thing for two years. Sold it to buy a house. Wish I still had it. Spent it's whole life in Santa Monica/Malibu canyon. Not a rattle or tapping to be heard, it was a blast from 3-6k, and it made my BIL go out and get a 930.... For 1500 it makes a great setup for when you're ready to dump a significantly higher amount for a larger displacement engine. Or so I've read... |

Thanks guys for all of your input. I am going to be in the process of stripping this thing over the next couple weeks. I have some friends interested in parts like the trans and trailing arms, so those are spoken for. As for the Fuchs they are 16s, and My friend dave said they are probably something like $150-200 a wheel. They are not damaged at all but will need refinished though.
Things that will be going up are brakes, front suspension, drive axles, gauges and so forth. I am not even sure if the engine is sticking around yet. I'll keep all posted on what I end up doing and what parts will be available once I put a price on them. The shell will come available Kenny. However, I will build a cart for it to roll around because no suspension will be on this when I'm finished. Thomas |
