Did they make a wide arch 73, 911?

[bababoom]

Thinking of making an offer on this car but don't know about the rear end?
If my offer was excepted i,d look much more into the car in detail.

[AlvinSultana]

Where to start ?

That is not a 73 would be my first comment.

I thought it looked a bit not right, What year would you say it was?

[roygarth]

The extended arches look odd/non original...

The reg DFM 911L was for a 01 May 1973 black 2341cc Porsche, but it's untaxed.

This car looks a right 'bitsa' the targa looks like a later impact bumper car, the front seats look interior looks fairly new possibly from a 3.2 Carrera and yes the rear wings do look like they're not original.

Interesting, Its being sold as a 3.0

Cool wheels with a terrible offset (for a widebody)!

I kind like the gold wheel combo, reminds me of the jps f1 cars of the early 80,s
was realy thinking of making an offer but the more i look into it the it dosent seem right.

As I said above, ask for a picture of under the bonnet with the carpet removed & a photo of the engine. We'll soon tell you whether it's a re-shell or not.

I'd say its a 1973 2.4, probably a 2.4E updated at some point in the 80's to look like an Impact Bumper car. It still has the pre-73 dash which confirms this.

Probably will end up being restored one day to its original long bonnet, narrow bodied factory spec but the loss of its original engine will limit its appeal.

Spoke to the owner today or rather he did all the taking of a 20 minute call, Hardly got a word in lol.
Apparently at some point the car was stolen and the recovered without the engine, So it was replaced with the 3.0 this is now logged on the v5.

The body work he has no real idea, Asked him if it was hpi clear he said he hadent checked it himself so im guessing its not.
He owns his own garage and seems to have beeb bit of a project over the past couple of years.
Awaiting some photos of the engine and engine bay.

I reckon that's got to be proper cheap to make sense - it's all kinds of wrong!
