I like it. Looks like it was customized IMSA-style in the early 80's, with the flares and lip. The paint scheme doesn't even look too bad.
But, my taste has been questioned before.

i think its the large mass of h2o between you and the car that will be the deciding factor. if i lived close and had the room for another sports car i'd buy to tinker w/ or part out......i've blown 100 bucks on alot worse. he mentions rust....wasnt 77 the year porsche started galvanize the whole body??? if not i'd go for a later model....rust is a headache you'd rather avoid

Ok let's pretend for a while you could actually get it to move, run, not fall apart etc. Eventually make it look nice and stuff, it's be pretty unique to have I think. But I don't think that one is even galvanized, and if I want see-through floors, I'll think of how my 914 was a fwe months ago.

personally I'd run the vin number to find out exactly what it is. '77 didn't have 5 lug wheels.
maybe a DP car. Come on somebody buy it, if for nothing else to find out what's in it other than another set of 5 lug wheels.

the wheels in it are the original 4 lug spider web wheels. galvanization started in 78 i beleive, so it'll be a rusty... might be good for parts?
