DONOR CAR

If you are going to create a masterpiece you need to start with a good foundation.  The best donor cars are cars that most enthusiates think too nice to make into a transformed 911.  Many back dates are built on salvage cars or wrecked cars or bent cars that should be in a junk yard.  In fact more than one backdate was done on a car rescued unwisely from a junk yard.

Rick Hartbrodt bought this car, the donor car about 5 years ago.  It was a beautiful 1980 SC.  Why such a nice car?  No issues with rust or a bent chassis crabbing down the road.  It is much easier to restore an un-bent car with no accident history and low miles.  Porsche started dipping their chassis 4 years before this car was made, so this car should be rust free for many years to come.
