Just saw the car.

The owner also has a 356 for sale. It's rusty and in (many) pieces, but it includes a bunch of replacement panels and many parts.

The 911 needs floors and the frame where the torsion bars mount in shot, the front pan wasnt bad though. Small rusty areas along windshild and rear side window frames. There is a front pan, seats, tons of little pieces uncluding torsion bar sections, glass, long block... included as well. He said $4500 for everything.

With that said, I'm thinking....

It looks like it has turbo or light weight flares? Are they steel or glass? Factory tail (embossed Porsche crest in rubber on back)?
Any more information on the 356? Price, model/year, sunroof/ no sunroof etc.

No flares. No tail, stock looking 911 T.

I think he said the 356 was a 60. Didnt look to have a sunroof, but I didnt really look. It was partially under cover. The glass is out and ~90% of the car has at least surface rust.

The seller seems to be a nice guy, and the car are 1/2 mile from my house. I am pricing replacement parts for the 911, I like the car, but it does need a lot.

The torsion bar tubes are the backbone of the 911 - this is the first piece layed dow, adn hte rest is built from that foundation. If this secion is rusted, give it some serious thought.

Thanks Tony. A little better description. When I poked at the secion with my finger ~1/2c of rust fell to the ground. I'm not afraid of a little metal work, but without a jig I'm not sure how to make sure everything woud stay square.
