Michael, there recently was a fairly long thread on Pelican...guys commenting on how hard it is to find a good early 911 of any model, and how few there have been on ebay lately. All I can say is good luck, and keep hunting...
You definitely have to keep your eyes open. My 19 yr old son and I randomly checked the auto trader and ebay, plus the newspaper for the last couple of years (while building a hot 69 Nova).
We found this 68 911 w/RSR on Ebay. It sat with NO bids for a week, then we were able to buy it but only after the original winner backed out.
I won't say where we live ('cause someone might take it):D
but we got the car for less than $4000.
Just sheer luck... only three small spots of rust, and two transmissions came with it. The motor was performance built for SCCA and PCA, and the owner used it for that reason. We've pulled the motor because the guy said it blew an oil line, coated everything and he shut the motor down. Hasn't been run since.
Interior is slightly worn, but the car has been garaged.

You should also look at your local PCA news letter. Our latests GGR news letter had several early cars and parts. Go to www.pca-ggr.org
Excellence magazine often has good listings for cars for sale.
I just found an interesting 73 911S with RS spec, etc. at the site below for 18K. You'd better check this out. I'm not in the market, so I won't waste his time with an email. But I'd like to here about this car, if anyone knows, just out of curiousity.

I see Chuck beat me to it in the 'cars for saleor wanted' department. (Where this thread should be, anyway.) Definately worth looking into.
The registry says its in Denver, but no pics. Says its 'restored' as well but not clear on the year. At $18K for a '73S Coupe, that leaves about $15K worth of work before you are pushing the fair market value for a very pristine S.
Chris, did you just tell us your out of pocket for the resto??????
:D
Ballpark, yes! I look at it as giving the rest of you room to improve your old heaps! Let's get that economy going fellas! Spend spend spend! I wanna start seeing S cars at $50K (not just talk about pwd's)
;)
Chris...I turned down an offer of $50K, remember? ;) An old phrase: "You can always restore a car, but it's only original once." Still, Bruce says an "excellent" '72S is worth under 20, so one might find a seller who believes in Bruce.
Paul - I think we should BAN the mention of MR. Anderson....:D :D
Kind of like a certain OTHER very irritating fellow....:D
Not another slam agianst Poor Theodore. Poor Theodore is really upset about being compared to BRUCE! ANYBODY BUT HIM, FOR GAWD'S SAKE!!!!
