This 1973 Porsche 911 T (chassis 9113100261) was passed down to the seller by his father who stripped and painted the car in 1985 soon after purchase. Still remaining disassembled, the car is described as rust-free and 90% complete, but the once fresh paint now wears small dings and chips despite being garage kept for 30 years. Fortunately the motor is present and most missing items are listed. Find it here on Craigslist in Leander, Texas for $30k.

From what is shown, the body looks fairly decent and no large dents are visible. It appears the red respray wasn’t thorough as inner doors were left unpainted and chips around the rear show the original color underneath. Since it’s said to need new paint again, returning it to factory correct white would be ideal. Fuchs are present in some photos and while the tires shown are up to rolling the car, it’s also likely they’ll need to be replaced. Bumpers aren’t mentioned among missing parts and aren’t seen in any photos.

Door cards and carpet are gone but the front and rear seats are included; the windshield is also said to be absent though no other glass appears present either. Other missing parts include the exhaust and some unspecified lights. The steering wheel appears fairly worn but the dash doesn’t look all that bad aside from some scuffs and dust. Also note that the radio, air vent, and shifter are out of the car as well.

Not much is said about the state of the motor besides that it ran when this project was started 30 years ago. The rag stuffed in the air cleaner isn’t too pretty but the engine does look like it’s mostly complete.

Although it’s said to have no signs of rust and appears to have been undercoated as well, there are a couple slightly suspect areas beneath the trunk pan as seen in the photo below.

Hopefully most of the parts not shown or discussed are included and the engine is indeed in good condition, otherwise this looks like a fairly straightforward project. Paint prep shouldn’t be too much of a chore since the car is already partially in pieces, though it’d be wise to budget for all the missing glass and even have an emergency fund for potential engine problems.
