Default Ebay - 1973 911 E w/3.2

no affiliation but thinking about this one -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1973-...#ht_500wt_1098

Thoughts? What's a fair price. The original motor is long gone. But this looks nice.

The seat bottoms don't have their magic tuck about 2/3rds of the way back.

Get better pictures of the front oil cooler. Did they cut out the right side battery compartment to fit it into the airflow?

During recovering, the seat cushion is supposed to be pulled like this:



BTW; those door pockets "that need attention" are a cardboard-like product, and can cost as much as $400/ea to replace, maybe more. You also have to prepare to spend a lot of money getting the A/C to work, if you require that feature. Limited slip is very unusual in early cars, so that feature must be verified.

A call to the DMV might also be wise, as a '73 model the car would normally be smog exempt. Because of the engine change the car might have to pass smog, in CA, for the year of the engine. You will have to verify that one way or the other, and you will have to determine if the car is still fitted with its catalytic converter, oxy sensor, etc. if a smog test is required.
