Should I sell this 1971 911S Targa project with or without the engine

[Marken]

Looking for opinions.

It looks like this project is going to be a bit much for me. As I said when I initially posted about my car last December it does not have a matching numbers engine. The engine is a 1966 901/05 motor with Webers. It does have the original transmission. A number of people have suggested I pull the engine out and sell the car and parts with the matching transmission without the engine. What do you folks think?

I would run the numbers and see what is most advantageous to you from a profitability and time spent standpoint. The engine has no ties to the car and would most likely be more valuable to someone else. That said, you'll need to deal with two customers and two sales rather than one. GLWS

Thanks Peter. I was also thinking about holding onto the engine myself. I got rid of a pretty trashed '73 911T a couple years ago and have regretted not keeping the engine.

The interior is in really nice shape. I saw a 2.2 Alan Johnson engine around here. Someone could snatch up both.

Yup. The interior is very nice. The door panels and pockets are very nice. The Sport Seats are in very good shape as are the dash and a/c vents. Thanks!
