    Should I keep this '73 E?

    I just bought this '73 E. It's pretty rough but restorable and pretty un-molested. I've been wanting an early street car more and more. I have a '78 Euro SC that I really like but hey...nothing beats a long hood with MFI.

    I need a donor car for an RS Touring that we are restoring and this has some good parts to sell and it's a whole lot cleaner than the RS......but that's not saying much.....

    I am of the opinion that almost any early 911 should saved but am I just being anal? Is this "just an E parts car?"

    Thanks,

    I'm not really sure I'm going to sell it. That's the reason for the post. I'm just thinking out loud and wondering what you guys think?

    I really don't need another project. Maybe I should sell both the '78 and this one.......then buy an early car that doesn't need much?

    I also have a '73 T that I'm building into a stage rally car......but that won't be a great street car.

    Thanks for listening,
    Aaron

    I say keep it !!

    Blood, Sweat, Cussing & a few beers and you'll have an awesome daily driver, weekend restauranter or something to sell to a broke 30ish year old with two kids and a dog and NEVER thought he'd (or she'd) own a Porsche !!!

    In other words, if yer able to save it, save it... ! IMO !

    Not a lot of plusses with this one...but at least it hadn't been converted into a "Miami Vice" slantnose.

    ?

    I guess we have to assume that it is a rust bucket.... just looking at it w/out any other info - I'd say it's very salvageable.

    All I see is bad paint right now.

    Obviously it needs ground up, but if the rust is not that bad I would absolutely save it.

    911 E's are not that common, time will tell if it's a mistake to trash this one.

    My vote: Sell it to someone that will restore it.

    "My vote: Sell it to someone that will restore it"

    I agree. What would you be asking for it?
