Lol! "All metal car no rust" Nice door gaps!
From the Ebay ad:
"We are selling our 1971 Porsche 911t. we rescued nearly 7 years ago. This is an all metal/no rust car. Paint is recent. Original color is sapphire blue. This is a numbers matching car and comes with POA certification, 7 years of receipts and clean title. I have most of the small trim bits needed to finish car--but this is a 90% complete driver. It is registered and insured. I just finished installing the seats, headliner, carpet and mats, visors, rear parcel shelf, and seat belts. New shifter assembly is installed, but bushing adjustment/replacement might be needed behind shift linkage. I have a few items that are period correct, but not original--(the original items were too far gone)--Steering wheel, seats, radio, rear deck lid and shifter linkage.
I have included a lot of photos, but have more if needed. Please text me with more questions or to arrange a meeting to see/drive the car. It is for sale locally and will end ad if sold. If you see it--its still for sale."
The car has been offered on the PCA classifieds for months. Same price the whole time, but limited pictures. The larger pictures on eBay certainly tell a story.
i see a $35k car
would make a good start to a build.

My father and I went to check this car out in person since we're just across the bridge in Philly. His asking price is a straight pipe dream. The paint is very rough, a "World of Color" special as the seller put it, much worse in person. From a quick inspection, the pans looked mostly rust free, but judging by some of the other falsehoods, I would be wary. Engine smoked like a chimney and it was impossible to find 2nd gear. The guy is not particularly knowledgeable about Porsches and seems to think because it's a longhood, it's an instant hit. I've joked with a local buddy that he should call and offer him $25k and see if he takes it. It'll need a complete proper paint job and some mechanical love to get to the 90% he describes.
The point of my original post photo on this car is that the tail pipe is on B A S S A K W A R D S !!! Thanks

I wonder if they used more than a gallon of filler or if they managed to keep it at a gallon.
probably used more and ran out of cash to spend on windshield trim and removal of the engine lid lock prior to paint. That does take at least 90 seconds.Quote:

This car looks vaguely familiar to me. Could someone share the sellers name? Perhaps just the first name?????
Ad on PCA gives first name as John. If you are a PCA member you can see the name and phone there.
If you go through the photos on the eBay ad there is a Certificate of Originaliy from Porsche where you can see the vendors name and address... also not a good thing to do...
The gentleman's name is John Hayden if I remember correctly.Quote:

Hi guys new to this place.
I'm looking for a project car anyway - how would this compare to a unrestored one needing all the usual welding/tinwork - floors, sills, quarters panels etc.
Would it be harder sort the issues on this out (if you are prepared to cut out 'previously restored' panels) than starting with an unrestored rust (bucket!!)?
Going by his previous adds on ebay etc I'm not sure what the reserve is but if it is sold for $20kish its surely worth a punt?
Good start for breaking in a D9-D11.

Just a suggestion...you may get a better response by posting your question in General Info. Good luck on your quest...and welcome!Quote:

That thing is a nightmare terrible gaps no seals anywhere and sheet metal screws used everywhere. Run for the hills.
Just clicked on the eBay link at it is expired, but eBay graciously offered a similar early 911 to look at!
Yeah but... it takes more then 90 seconds to put them back in/on. And yes it has B.H.C.C. "tremendous potential".
32k would be a nice price for this project.
Crystal Blue 71T would be beatuiful color long hood to drive or collect!
Still on the PCA classifieds for $48,500. The pipe dream keeps going...

Hi all. I was the high bidder on BaT for this car. After many negotiations with the owner and a PPI, I should take delivery of this car today. It will be taken to bare metal in/out, repairs re-repaired, and then put back to its original crystal blue — a color that I have fallen in love with since researching it. Goal is to get it back to original as much as possible (tub/body first, the rest over time).. Can anyone confirm whether the 5.5x15 pressure cast wheels listed on the CoA are Mahle or something else?
Many thanks in advance,
DR

I’m considering a local set of 15x7 widened steelies until I decide if I want to track down some Mahles or most likely larger diameter Fuchs. Might go pick the steelies up this weekend. Car drives and shifts fine and has a brand new set of PMOs on it which I’ll need to get retuned for out here.
Honestly, I knew the car had body/previous repair issues and that the paint was crap.. but for what I ended up paying I think I’m okay financially even knowing what will need to be done to make it right. There’s also a couple boxes of unopened parts that I need to inventory.
Again, thanks for the info. My next step is finding and hiring a decent mid-range 911 resto shop to get this tub stripped, repaired, and painted crystal blue without it costing six figures.

I have a shop in Tarpon Springs Florida if you need body and paint. I have two celette benches and we are currently working on two 911s and two 356 porsches.
I would cut you a special rate as i would love to paint it. I think it also deserves Glasruit paint to be honest to really represent the color.
PM if interested.
This will prove harder than buying the car. I wish you all the luck in the world. I've been here. Last car took 6 years but it was GOOD.Quote:

If you do the car right, you will have a matching number crystal blue 911. Worth $100-150kQuote:

Well worth it given what the car is.
