68 that needs "Refresh" for $30K

Rust bucket for $16K

I was speaking with the owner of Road Scholars today and his advice on the early 911/912's was to stay away from the project cars going for $20 to $30K because it is too easy to end up upside down in the project.
Better off buying a clean one for $60K to $80K that will go up in value.
Wish I picked up the clean 69 912 I spotted for sale 8 years ago for $10K but I thought the price was too high

I have been casually looking for a 912 for the past few years. My search has been mostly looking here, Pelican & CL without much luck. I finally emailed Road Scholars and got a nice reply from Tim stating they do not focus on 912's at all and stick to "top-tier" cars.
I want something older than my 993 and have been priced out of the classic 911's. I thought I could pick up a 912 driver relatively inexpensively and restore as time and budget allowed. I think that ship has sailed.

$20k+ project cars are indeed expensive. Especially when having to out source body, paint, mechanical etc...
Not sure if i have the stomach to find out if I can do it at my own shop for any less....

I have an early 912. I am restoring an early 911. I am already upside-down on the 911, but I expect I'll do OK on that, and in any case I'm doing it for myself. Given that restoration costs are identical on an early 911 and an early 912, it makes zero sense to restore a 912 at the moment unless you are doing it for your own enjoyment.

However, the 911 project is typically a higher price to start with when compared to buying a 912 project.
