    Turbo V8 running on propane. Don't see that everyday. For a reason.

    Frank,

    Seems pretty obvious that you have matching engine of this poor raped car. AND that you are just trying to be convinced by all the forum that no, you should not buy this car...

    COme on Frank! Just listen to your heart, and try to get a deal from BHCC for this car which is crying to be saved.

    Maybe you can close a deal trading it for a rare 912 which has sat in the bottom of a lake for the last 40 yrs. Sure BHCC would be interested.

    Only by reselling the propane rocket engine you could get a few 1000's. The subwoofer system is also probably worth a couple 100's. The race seat covers are probably the most interesting part of the deal they must be RARE!

    =)

    Olivier.

    Just sad. One of the bigger POS I have seen for sale. Someone crush it and turn it into a toaster to put it out of its misery.

    It's just a matter of time before some weed-smoking, numbers-matching, 911-crazed nitwit builds one.
    912, new trunk floor & your engine will still come out on top... And you know it! Some nitwit will do it, and another will buy it.

    Frank with the exception of the very strange engine lid slam panel, which has the blank spots of an early car, but the raised rectangular pad on the port side of a later one, I don't see any 65 details here at all. Check out the torsion tube.

    Truly gruesome.

    Oddly, I almost wonder if it shouldn't be preserved exactly as is—creepy, vaguely KKK gown-ish "race seat" covers and all—so it can be parked on the lawn next to all of its more fortunate brethren...as the poster child of what was done to early 911s in the name of "updating" in the Slantnose era.

    The only guy I know crazy enough to actually do it (and bring it to Porsche events), however, is Myron...

    I haven't seen this car in person, nor would I without a vomit bag but I was told the number is 301xxx.

    Unless it's a 64, RS, or ex fac race tool I don't think it matters.


    "KKK gown-ish seat covers"
    Ha!

    I'm guessing those clowns understand VIN data and, if it were something exceptional, would be marketing it differently...
