Hey everyone, frequent motor forum lurker here:

I'm looking to purchase a 911S (hoping to find a decent 1972-73), but seeing that it's an older car, there is the possibility for some pitfalls.

I'm going to start heavy inquiries to car ads that I find in magazines and the 'net...are there any specific trouble spots you guys can think of with older cars that I should ask about?

I mean, I know 'rust in the wheel well', 'clutch', 'tranny', etc

but are there any specific 1972-73 era issues to look out for? perhaps parts that wear out quicker than others that I should see if they've been replaced?

Or should I take this to a porsche forum?

Any help would be appreciated guys!

If it all works out, i'll post pics

Oh, the purpose of the buy is for enjoyment of an older porsche, original parts is not a must.
