I am selling my baby. I purchased this car in 2007 as a 1.8L four that had been restored. Over the last seven years, I have rebuilt the gearbox, and installed a completely rebuilt 2.7 (crank up) that was done right, and converted it to a six. Engine: The case was machined by G2 racing in Michigan and brought back to new tolerances--NO 2.7 heat exchanger related issues. Case decked, inserted, and properly cleaned. Euro Pistons matched with "E" grind camshafts from Dougherty Racing and Webers completely redone including new throttle shaft bushings and throttle plates. I haven't dynoed it, but the build sheet shows well (like 220hp) in excess of 200 horses in this mid-engined rocket. Compression was liquid volume measured at 8.8:1 and will not knock on 86 octane pump gas. Nikasil cylinders with Euro pistons. I chose a 16 quart front-mounted oil tank that feeds the engine through a -20 braided oil supply with -16 returns. The engine has no known issues, or indications that any are coming. I broke the cams in properly with Brad Penn break in oil, and have run Brad Penn 20-50 since that time. Valves recently adjusted. I cut open my oil filters after changes, and they have been appropriately clean. Plugs are a good "mocha" color on shutdown and inspection. I have a front-mounted oil cooler, fittings, and braided stainless hose that I have not yet installed that go with the car. Oil temps in Austin stay around 180-190 with only the engine mounted cooler--the front cooler would just be insurance. No knocks, dings , pops or other funny noises. It sports an Australian Monty stainless steel exhaust--the exhaust was picked from a friend's stash, and has scrapes/dents on the bottom that were there before it was installed on my car. Gearbox: Stock 901, rebuilt stack in 2007. New dog teeth and sliders as appropriate. Does NOT pop out of first, or crunch. NOTE: The gearbox leaks a small amount. I assume I pinched a seal somewhere, and it leaves several drops on the garage floor after a spirited drive. I have used Kendall NSMP gear oil since the rebuild. Kennedy Stage II pressure plate, and six clutch disc. Suspension: 911 front suspension with unknown struts. Aluminum 911 "S" calipers--very desirable. Factory sway bars front and rear. Pelican Parts bump steer kit. Lowered to euro ride height. Unknown rear shocks and springs but functioning properly Elephant racing poly-bronze trailing arm bearings (NO slop). Rear hubs have pressed-in 100mm studs and I'm running spacers. Fronts are H&H racing bolt on spacers (should be track legal). Rears were re-drilled, and fronts are true 5-bolt hubs. Wheels are *OEM* Carrera Cup II wheels (not fakes) and are stupid-light. 17x7 up front at 17x9 in the rear. I have run wheels as big as 18x10 and 18x8 (late offset) with no rubbing issues. Body/Chassis: Paint is good/very good as pictured. The interior has been redone, and the headrest upholstery has come loose in a couple of spots. Carpet is good, dash is too. NO cracks in any glass. There is one crack in the fiberglass air dam/fender flare on the left front, and a crack in the right rear fender flare as pictured/shown in the video. The notorious "hell-hole" is solid. There is a spot of rust near the firewall in the right longitudinal. It should be repaired the next time the motor is out. I have not noticed ANY amount of flexing or any sag in the body. The chrome windshield trim came loose at the top, and I removed it (it will come with the car). I planned on switching to a black butyl windshield seal, but haven't yet. Walk around video and test drive: AUCTION TERMS: Please read and re-read thoroughly. Please do not bid on this car until you are sure that you want it--all bids will be considered a binding contract. I will not take the "my wife flipped out" excuse--ask first! You are more than welcome to request any and all pictures, videos, etc. that you want of the car--I will do my best to accommodate. Same thing for a pre-purchase--get it done before the auction is over. I will take it to my guy (Moorespeed in Austin TX for a PP) or wherever you like as long as you pay, and they are familiar with air cooled Porsches. You are welcome to go for a test drive if in the Austin, TX area or just come by to check it out. NO FOREIGN BIDDERS without prior approval. All bidders with less than 15 feedbacks will need to contact me prior to bidding. I will do my best to describe everything accurately and fairly, but understand that you are buying a 38 year old sports car, not a 2013 Ferrari. Again, ask any and all questions PRIOR to bidding, as all sales are final. AS-IS and where is. $1000 deposit due at auction close, balance in 7 days. $100/day storage after two weeks. Sorry to be so strict, but I've been burned before. I have 15 years of positive feedback on Ebay.
