'74 euro 911 for a '59 vert? please guide me!
hello all!
well this is my first post i currently have an almost completed project car [1983 volvo 240 turbo] and am considering building a GL bug or fastback for my next one. here is where i need guidance: i can get a 1959 'vert that is pretty much complete and pretty solid altho it is in a bunch of pieces. and in need of a _complete_ restoration. $2000 firm is the asking price. i can't seem to find any better of a deal around here in AZ. i have a complete [ but rusty ] european 1974 911 targa that i got for free i've got a couple of t3 turbos around... and a welder... and a extra megasquirt... and a 1970 body / 1966 pan laying around here somewhere. i am thinking of getting the bug, and selling off the porsche parts that i do not use to off-set the cost of the bug. i've just watched two 2.7L 911 engines go for over $900 on ebay - that's half of the price of the bug! and there still the good interior, euro gauges, lights etc left... porsche parts i would use: brakes wheels [cookie cutters until i get the 17" replicas] tranny [got to love the 5 speeds] headlight lenses spare tire steering wheel [ don't know if this one would fit...] 911 cooling fan / alternator engine would be an turbo 1641 with a small intercooler programmable EFI and ignition. my goal would be a daily driver car, but only when the weather is nice enough to have the top down [like 90% of the time here in Arizona] i have a volvo wagon for the beater / parts hauler... if i take the summer off of work i could split the time between the car and helping my mother and father finish their house. it would have to running / but not finished by the end of summer. lots of tools and space at their place... better compressor... better food... no rent... pretty much what i am asking is: would you sacrifice a rusty - can't drive it - $600+ for the oil pump - look at me i have a porsche 911 for a '59 GL vert done on a budget? please help! |

and secondly, in short, yes. based on your description, sounds like the 911 would be too much $$$ to recover the car. take what you can and sell the rest. a '59 GL vert would be sweet. sounds like you have many of the pieces and parts and you have a plan. follow it. hmmm. i am looking for a bus now. hmmm. 2.7l 6-banger. it's been done, but...
