This is the one i was all set to inspect, and the night before i got an email that it sold. I believe i would have pulled the trigger after seeing it.

I saw it when I first started looking for my 911, I dismissed it based on how much the owner lies in the description, if you can't honestly describe a car how should I trust anything else you say (Apparently factory turbo looks weighed in a 3500 pounds news to me, 400K miles without ANY engine work!)
Also he says in has just south of 70K miles but its been rebuilt in the past?

I don't know how far you are frm Phoenix, but I've personally looked at both these cars and they are in good good shape.
I passed up on this one cuz I hate the Strosek bodykit

This cab is a lil high mileage, but Becks is a legit Porsche garage, thats all they do, and they do great work... I just don't like the cabs haha. was seriously considering this one cuz of the g50

1977 Porsche
3.2L H6 "out of a '85 911 Carrera
Comes with an extra hood lid-whale tail
New Leather, Premium Sound, New Suspension, Newer* Yokohama tires.
Current ownership going back 16 years.
I bid $14,500 but reserve wasnt met. Selling dealer contacted me to see if i wanted to increase my offer to present to the owner. They vave it listed for $20k
My concern is that it is less desirable due to non matching numbers and mixed years on the drivetrains. Will the 915 gear box handle the increased power? I know 77 had some improvements to the gearbox.
Any thoughts would be appreciated......Thanks

An INDY shop could do a PPI if the car is a great distance from you AND give the go/no-go on personal road test but seat time is more valuable. If seller balks at seat time, take your $ elsewhere. JMTC.

Thanks everyone! I'm still looking. I passed on both those cars..... One had a nice big hole in the undercarriage near where the suspension attaches to the pan.(discovered after asking for undercarriage pics). All that glitters isnt gold. I test drove a 77 911s saturday. It wasnt bad, i will be looking at two other cars this week in FL. I'm taking my time and i am sure i'll know it when i find the right one. I will take a look at any reccomendations no matter where the car is located. In fact, i look forward to a couple thousand mile drive as a bonus!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I tried uploading a photo of the undercarriage. It would be interesting to hear opinions....but I was restricted, I think. Also, I'm using an iPad and that may make a difference for attachments I think, at least I haven't figured it out yet.

Yeah same here, the car was really well sorted though, and the owner was upfront with all the history, plus he's got a ton of service records from a really reputable service garage
