Plenty of enthusiasts and even some regular people dream of owning a classic Porsche 911. That’s why when we ran across this 1974 for a mere $15,000 we just about choked. After all, that’s a killer price, but we figured there was some sort of catch.
Check out the darkest Porsche in the world.
Obviously, this car has seen better days. The paint looks chalky and shows blemishes all over. There’s some light exterior damage, mostly to the front spoiler plus a taillight missing a lens, which isn’t a deal breaker in our book.
The interior is also rough with the dash crackled, the seat upholstery split wide open in a few spots, and plenty of filth to be scrubbed away. And there’s a big hole in the floorboard right in front of the driver’s seat. But for $15,000 we can easily overlook all that.
After all, this car looks pretty good, all things considered, and it even has that iconic whale tail. Plus, it has all the glass, gauges, seats, and trim pieces.
But, if you pop the frunk you find there’s a bit of a mess hidden from view, including all kinds of loose wiring. That’s a bit of a project, but there’s and even bigger catch.
Go around back and open the engine compartment, you’ll find there is no engine. There’s also no transaxle, so you would have to source both. While some might see that as a deal breaker and a huge project, an enterprising enthusiast would see it as an opportunity.
After all, you could do a restomod build and plop a new engine and transaxle in there. Or you could go with a period correct setup – the choice is yours. When you’re paying just $15,000 that leaves money to do all sorts of things.
Sweetening this deal further is the seller saying that this Porsche 911 will be sold with a title. That’s not always the case when buying old cars like this, so that’s a nice bonus.
