Well here is the LATEST guess. Price is right and has all it's paper work so one more time. I bought (5) 190 sl Mercedes once to build one good one. Then sold the parts for more than I paid for all the cars.
Difference with this car is Brumos is looking at it for me. They sort of owe me a couple of favors.

night and day. Go for it. But this time look it over real well before you hand over the cash.

If you ultimate goal is to get a low mileage GT, then why waste your time and money fixing up all these project car? Just go and get that GT or at least a 5-speed.

I just like to learn about the series, try each one, then pass it on to someone else. My first Porsche was a 924 then I got the 951 now I am trying the 928.
Forums like this make it enjoyable to do that.
I also have a high school person who is working with me and learning about these type of cars so he can have a future in other than just parts changing. Sort of a win, win if you know what I mean.

The last picture of the door panel. It may not be water damage, it could be just from the car sitting for a while. I'm working on a 83 911 SC that sat in a Georgia garage for 20 years and the interior was completly covered in mold and mildew.

Same twisted thinking that caused me to buy a C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 Corvette. I sort of do that like my dad did. We sold all the Corvettes except the 50th Anniversary Edition Convertible which we added to our permanent collection.

Everything elses checks out and the CARFAX is clean.
I will be posting leads on out Yahoo Group and our 4 websites when this quest is done and we move to the restoration and preservation stage.
