I am not that familiar with pre 1980 911s. Would this be worth restoring?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

That’s been there years, before it was a 50s Cadillac in a similar state, not sure what the purpose is as the garage actually does really decent work if you go inside - was full of merc pagodas and a couple of porsche 356’s last time I visited.

They do have some nice classic cars for sale that look perfect, former restoration projects, which is why I asked. Their business seems to be proudly buying and displaying wrecks, restoring and selling them. But I just wonder what standards you can achieve while turning a profit. Low labour rates for sure but this 911 is a battered shell. So seeking the view of anyone who knows the restoration business here.

Overpriced and, for the cars I am familiar with, not nearly special or original enough to warrant the asking. The few I know have sold have been more to do with the market catching up to the asking. The workshop is different gravy, mainly customer cars and some very nice ones at that.
