Found a 911. Here are the details
1976
Guards Red
134K
$10,995
The car has a slant nose package on it. But no records at all. And it has seat covers so the seats may be torn up.

From your description, I wouldn't even bother wasting my time.
Nice SC coupe in my area for 13k, he was asking 18k back in August.

I think there are better deals out there. It may be possible to get into a decent (but not great) SC or Carrera for that money (well probably a little more...). I believe that ’76 was the first year for the fully galvanized bodies (or was it ’77 – maybe someone will confirm). However, at that age, you cannot take it for granted that the body will be OK.
Summary:
1) 1976 – 2.7 liter mag case with the potential liabilities induced by the early emissions equipment. Not the most robust 911 set-up.
2) 134K – not particularly high mileage for the chassis, but it would be high for a 2.7 – very likely may have been rebuilt. If so, it will be CRITICAL to asses the quality of the work done.
3) Slant nose – no chance of it being factory for a ’76 – to me this item would be a negative.
4) No records - always a negative...

The Slant Nose was an option for the Turbo's or Carrera starting in I believe 86
