I have owned this car for the past few years and am really sorry to see this one go. I have several cars, and this one is my "go to" car for driving pleasure. I truly love driving this car. One year only, Porsche made 2099 of these as a "stop gap" vehicle after the 914, and before the 924. Only 500 with sunroof. Jump in anytime. Prices on this last 4 cyl aircooled car from Porsche, and other aircooled Porsches' are ramping up fast! General overall condition is very good. Serial number is 1012. The body is galvanized. No rust, or past rust repairs. No collision repairs. Only one older repaint in the original Guards Red color. Not a "windows out" job, but nice. I would say that paint is a 7.5 out of 10. No where near flawless, but very nice presentable paint. Some ripples, but nothing major. Because I am not afraid to take this car anywhere, I would not repaint the car. I put on the louvered engine lid, but still have the original in real good shape. Includes rain shield. I also removed the clock and temp gauges and replaced them with vents that are functional that I connected to a newer model A/C evaporator with fan located in the Smugglers Box. It's controlled by an OEM A/C switch located in the later model console. Now there is ventilation in the car! I had a "combo" gauge made by Palo Alto speedometer with both temp and gas level to replace the two gauges. Seats and general interior is nice. Again not perfect, but real nice. Dash pad is perfect. Seats have no rips and look very nice. Carpet is nice with no heavy wear. Headliner is the worst thing on this car. Looks bad, with rips and should be replaced down the road. After a lot of work, the sunroof works great. Door pockets were just professionally redone, but not yet installed. Steelies and stripe are period correct. New tie rod ends, and front shock inserts. Ride is a little rough because I lowered the car. Still a very comfortable ride. Tires are newer Toyo. Generally if something looked crappy on the car, I replaced it. Trim, bumpers, glass, chrome all look very nice. The original motor let loose at just under 300K. I replaced the case with a 2.0 ltr. GA case and a 100% rebuild including the last pair of NOS 3 bolt heads on the planet. Euro P/C with higher compression. Still retains the original Fuel injection, Heat exchangers, and muffler. All that said it is still a 90ish HP type IV engine that is fun to drive! Overall a great Porsche that doesn't need anything. A great presentable driver that has a great feel. More like early 356/912 than 911. Please email with any questions that you may have, or if you need additional pictures. If you would like to talk to me about the car, email me and request my number. I would be happy to discuss the car. Check out my feedback and bid with confidence. If you are in the Detroit are, I would love to show you the car. SHIPPING IS 100% THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I will assist in every way to assure that the car is loaded properly. A $1000 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Thanks, and good luck! On Jul-13-14 at 10:43:12 PDT, seller added the following information: Lots of emails for additional pictures. If there is something else that you want to see, let me know. Some questions that I have had: Pans are perfect. Runs great. worst paint is pass door (ripples) and Rt rear 1/4. (ripples). I slightly went through the color with wheel @ sunroof. Nothing major. Nice day today, so I just took these pics. This car looks great at every angle! NO goofy wings, wrong mirrors, or aftermarket muffler. Heat exchangers were media blasted and re-welded to pipes. (they don't rattle) No smoke. Great looking and driving Porsche. Fires right up and idles perfect. Jack is there. No tool kit, but does have an owner's manual. Pass door stay needs work. Door jams and medal badge look super clean. Blaupunkt Boston CD radio fits in original DIN opening without any modifications. It has a Bird Automotive Arm rest in leather. A really nice thing to have! I made every effort to not adulterate this car, so it could EASILY put back to stock. Drive it for the next ten years.......then restore it. Again, I have the original engine lid, and original gauges to put back to stock. I screwed up and ended the auction early. My apologies. New fixed pricing, or best offer. Thanks.
