The seller really doesn't know what he/she has. A V8 in a 911????

heh. V8 too.

But if the pics are correct, 3k is a pretty good price for a 1971 911.

$3k is a GREAT price for a '71 Porsche 911. (They even spelled Porsche wrong). Looks like it has been in storage for a while and it's hard to tell the condition from the bad quality pics. If it were near me, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Is a Porche 280Z anything like a Datsun Z28?

I wonder if it's a "He died and I'm cleaning out the garage" scenario?

[TomoHawk]

It could be that. I recently bought a new- unused CB radio from eBay that had all the power wires cut off...

Question for seller of the Porche 280-Z:

How many miles and does it have gullwing doors like the 270Z V12 did?

Looks like pot plants behind it in the warehouse.

'71 911 will have a schmit load of rust issues in Florida. Still, early short wheel base 911's are gold right now and even if it is totally rusted, I see $3K worth of part-outs.

Funny someone should bring up Craigslist. Yesterday evening I was cruising out of town Craigslist ads for Porsche parts. I blew up my 2nd gear in my 911 and I figured I might find a gearbox on the cheap. I see an ad for 2 - 8X16 Fuchs Wheels. These are the same factory forged wheel you see in the pics above but much wider and found on the 930 Turbo models. The guy is asking $200 for the pair!!! I emailed him and paid him all within 30 minutes. Then I posted a for sale ad with HIS pics on a 911 site and sold them for $1600 + shipping. The best part is he is shipping directly to my buyer. Some people just don't know what they have!

Could be a scam. Sounds too good to be real.
