but no more than that. just cleaning up. if you get into restoration things you will not be able to come out.
nice looking car. it will sell. imho.

Definately get it running again. It will cost you little money and a little time and will be worth it in the end. How would you like to be the potential buyer and learn the car does not run? That is always a big detraction on selling cost.
I have a little experience with the 911. If I were close I would work on it for you out of sheer pleasure.
BTW, you may have a stuck clutch disc.
