Matching numbers!
I think the seller and I have differing opinions on what that means.
1967 Porsche 912 Short Wheel Base Coupe with matching numbers with a dark blue exterior and black interior. Complete with the engine and transmission and carburetors. The engine alone as you can see from recent ebay listings for around $3,500. Great value. Will make a strong parts car. $3,950 ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )
So with early 911/912 prices out of this world, what is a good alternative? Beetles?

Somebody stepped on that beetle.

With a body like that, what are the odds the engine is worth anything?

I guess you could melt down the rust into a body panel or two :P

It’s undoubtedly a car, and it undoubtedly has parts.

It is made a pile of parts of a car, so they’ve got you on a technicality. If it could drive, it would totally:

Easily the most scarring scene from any childhood movie.

In order to be a parts car there has to be some usable parts, right? That is an ex-Porsche.

Unsurprisingly, this thing has been for sale since the dawn of time. The dude is delusional.

That movie is messed up now that I've seen it as an adult. Raised a generation of nihilists that movie did.

Sir, this Porsche is no more! It has ceased to be!

The amount of extra work you would have to do just to get parts off of this car outweighs the price

But is it?

Strong? Evidently not.

Somebody should compile every thread about this car that’s come up on oppo, and send it to the seller.

I have your alternative right here:

I grabbed that ad at random. I noticed that the prices on these (BMW Z3 roadsters) have been dropping like a rock after seeing a clean one with less than 100k for $3500 yesterday.

I already have all the rust I can use so it’s of no use to me. Anyone else out there a little short on rust?

You could get this for $3500 for sure. Might be better than the one I spotted yesterday w/new top:

It’s no 911, but hey you can hop in and drive home.

I’d get a Ghia before a beetle

Judging by xke’s im going to have to say someone will buy it at that price.

Why is mentioning the color even necessary? As if any body panel is in usable condition, and wouldn’t need to be repainted even if it was.
