Is this a guy buy? 1975 Porsche Widebody 2.7L for $12900

[HUYTURBO]

Runs good, all original. needs brake work and paint work. mostly rust free vehicle from the South.

I never had a 911, might jump the gun on this one.

Any idea is 12900 is a decent buy for this thing?

Seems cheap enough, any mention of motor reseal and other mods?

Some Porsche guys can chime in better than I, but there's a reason 2.7L 911s around '75-'77 sell for so low. The 2.7L had some serious issues.

A better buy would be a later 78-82ish 911SC with the 3.0L. Those seem to hover around mid to upper teens.

If you could find a 3.0L engine in good condition for cheap, then this '75 would be a good buy in my eyes.

Die hard 911 guy here. The 75-77 911S are the least desirable 911 as they are the slowest of all. Also, the car in question had a flare job which can be in butcher quality. This car might be a good buy if everything is done right and maintained but your descriptions do not fit the case.
Perhaps a local 911 guy can check it out for you.

Have you driven one of these old 911's? An ex's father had one he let me drive. His was an '85 I think. It was a nice enough looking car, the classic 911 look and all but to drive? It was SO slow. I assume by your handle you have a turbo NSX? That thing is gonna feel like a ford ranger.
