rescued from a field where it has been sitting on the trailer pictured for more than 20 years!
I know that original 911 Targa's of this era are going for $30K and up

Porsches were not fully galvanize-dipped until 1976. If that '73 (which has aftermarket add-on fender flares) was out in a field for 20 years, it is nothing but rust.
But, oh, wait - it's got a Targa top. They all leak. So it spent several years as a swimming pool before the floors finally rotted through and it "self-drained."
Yes, there are Porsche people who will take a pile of rust and make a car out of it, but this is not a rare car, and nobody would waste their time and money on it.
As for being a parts car - the expensive Porsche drivetrain is gone, the body and suspension are rusted to crap, the interior's destroyed, and there is nothing else left.
Well, it's got some glass.
Value: Maybe a few bucks above scrap.

There's at least one, maybe two too many zeroes in that price. Depends on how many usable parts you can strip off of it before sending the carcass to the crusher for about $14 per 100 pounds.
