Actually, I'd like to take it for a spin. Those engines make some serious power.

Heck of a lot cheaper & easier to work on than an early 911 engine, that's for sure!

it was a 912.. which would have been worth more than that pos ever will be.. and is still cheeper than working on a 911

also.. its a swb 911/912 suspension.. if you want to do that you should use a later 69 and up 911/912 suspension with the long wheel base.. then you can propperly fit turbo tie rods and all the upgraded suspenion goodies you want (ie anything you want all the way up to 930 suspension).

As Buick and Porsche rarely cooperated on automobile matters, all it took was a few fine German brews to produce the Porschuik Mutt.
