Vehicle Detail

First of all,I'll start by saying this was running and driving perfect until about 2 weeks ago. The weather got extremely hot and the fuel pump relay died. It was a daily driver which I had full intention of restoring but at 6 3' inches tall-I find myself pretty squeezed in there so I've come to the realization that even though I wanted one of these for over 20 years-it's not for me anymore. The car has been through a few owners over the years and each one has done a few things to the car...including myself. It will need some parts to complete but it is safe to roll around anywhere as is. I have the carpet kit for it in the rear trunk,the front trunk is in super good condition,the glass is good,the floors are good(they have been sealed by me),the "Hell hole" is not bad but there is a rust section on the lower right rocker panel near the rear of the door. I have a new racing motor mount for it that goes with the car. It has a new battery,alternator and have been recently serviced. It's lowered slightly with Panasport wheels and Pirelli tires which still have plenty of tread on them. The stereo is all there but it is not hooked up at the moment,the odometer is not working and you will need some wiper arms and blades. They were taken and I did order some from eBay and I never received them. I have a case pending on that one. That ticked me off something fierce. The engine doesn't burn or leak oil and the transmission shifts fine and doesn't grind at all if you downshift. The rear trunk has no rust as does the front. There is a small amount of surface rust in the engine bay where the paint has come off over the years but it is nothing major. There is some bubbling on the front fender and if I was going to do it right-I'm probably think about finding a different fender instead of saving this one. I will take many more pictures tomorrow or Tuesday so that you can get a better idea of what is here. It's not bad by any means but it is not a "show car". It does however,garner attention when you drive it on the streets. You will want to acquire an antenna as well. I've been looking for a correct rubber one but no dice just yet. The rear trunk lock had been replaced and the reflective "PORSCHE" section is not there. Those are out there though and shouldn't be difficult to locate. With a little TLC and some love-this thing will be sick! Depends what you want to do. I take it out 2 times a week and get it up on the freeway and through the streets here downtown it keep everything good to go. It's basically like driving a go-cart. If it doesn't sell,I'm not even going to worry about it. I'll just keep it and figure it all out somehow. Thanks, Jason I sold this car for 4,500.00 on here about 3 weeks ago and received nothing so I'm re-listing it. I already paid fees for the past listing so it's costing me again this time around. If you don't plan on buying the car,please do not bid. I really want to see this car go to someone who will restore it. It deserves that. Also,I'm a super stand up fellow and I will reimburse you the cost of the fuel pump relay or ignition switch so that it's something that doesn't need to be an added cost. I will get your information and directly re-deposit some money to you for the repair. The engine is fine and when it is running-it runs strong. I have no place to work on this and have too many projects at the moment so unfortunately I have to let this one go. I have 100 percent positive feedback and I stand by my word. If you need help with shipping-contact Rinkens International. They are based out of California. I have dealt with them in the past as I had sold a few of my other cars to Germany and Brazil respectively. I will help you out in the process if overseas with any documents,paperwork or customs issues you might need. Thanks again my fellow car people! Jason On Jul-06-14 at 21:04:57 PDT, seller added the following information: The original Bosch fuel injection is all there and hooked up. This has not been modified to carbs. It all works great so I saw no need to mess with it and would rather it be original rather than "mickey-moused". On Jul-10-14 at 21:53:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Lots of interest on my car. I had an issue with the fuel not going through the lines last night and today for some reason. Just to let anyone out there know-I'm going to take care of it before it goes anywhere. The car comes with a full tank of gas and I run 92 octane in it. I will replace the relay first tomorrow or Saturday and see if it all runs smoothly again and will replace the pump if need be. Not a big thing really but I will make sure everything is good to go for the next owner to enjoy. Oh the joys of working on an old car! Haha! Just wanted to clarify that and not hold anything back. I'm a straight up person and will not "beat around the bush" so to speak. :) Have a great night everyone(if you see this)! Jason
