    Neglected 911

    I went to look at a job and saw this 72 911T in the yard, kinda cool, kinda sad. The grass growing out of the engine grill was a interesting touch. I already asked, not for sale.

    I would hold on to it to. I mean, why not just let it slowly rot into the ground next to the town football teams bus? :/

    Could it be that you gave up too easily? Would it be worth it to try to go out there again, but waving a thick wad of 20s. If no sign of any biting.. hold out a second thick wad of 20s?

    He's probably just waiting for scrap metal prices to go back up.

    Just kidding. You can tell the guy is serious about preserving this car. Note the carefully placed sheets of scrap ply on the windshields of the 911 and Nova(?) to keep the AZ sun from baking the interior.

    Good ideas!
    I went to do my job there and had another look at it. The air housing is in the back seat and it looked like the engine has been used as a poor form of a rain gauge.
