    for the VERY brave...they didnt have Targas in 65 ...so...for a Cab conversion they must have done a butcher's job to the top.

    so much is missing and so far from anything remotely 65
    we'll have to wait another 10+ years to consider.......

    Bruce Wayne needs to save that car from the Joker! Looks like a member of Richtoven's Flying Circus. It has the potential to be a beach cruiser, that's for sure.

    they should ALL be saved

    ... but not by me

    We should set up a non-profit to save early 911s - the non-profit part will not be hard to achieve.

    this one should be sacraficed so that others may live.

    i see several good potential parts and doner parts. body, glass, wheels, suspension..

    too much is gone though to make it a viable resto (especially with teh questionable roof chop.). a car or two would have to be sacraficed to save this one, so i say let this solid (relatively rust free looking california car), give itself to others.

    not a 65

    303294 is not a 1965 911.
    301940 is the last true 1965 car that we know of.

    If you are referring to MY 65, this has been or should be revised to somewhere around 302070.

    Regards
