Please take a good look at this beautiful classic 1977 Porsche 911S. As you look around the internet you will not find a better deal for your money. This car definitely holds its own with the looks of other Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, American classics, and other European classics worth many times it's value. It’s also a great driver - I feel comfortable driving it a couple hundred miles at a time, and I’ve done so many times driving to various car shows and rod runs throughout Arizona/ Guards Red paint with Tan interior. Very desirable combination. The car really stands out. Fiberglass RSR front and rear bumpers – very well installed, very tight, perfect color match with perfect rubber seals in-between panels. Fiberglass RS Ducktail with rubber tie-downs – perfect paint match inside lid and out. 2009 Brand new paint, clear-coated, perfectly buffed out with about 30 coats of wax. The interior is in excellent shape including carpet, seats, dash and instruments. The seats and dash have been re-upholstered. Brand new Coco mats – never been used. They accent the car great. New front windshield, excellent side and rear glass. Only driver side glass has a few slight scratches. 2.7 Liter flat-6 air-cooled with factory oil cooler. Runs fantastic, sounds fantastic, looks fantastic. MSD 6AL-2 digital ignition system with built-in rev limiter. Currently set at 6400 rpm. 2009 Pertronix II Dwell controlled electronic distributor pickup. 2010 Automatic dwell tuning over 5,000 rpm. Between the digital ignition and the distributor pickup, the motor actually tunes its self as the rpm goes from 3,000 up. I get excellent power and gas mileage on the highway and city. 8mm Clewett Engineering Ignition Wires, with new cap, rotor, spark plugs and valve cover dust caps. Intake and Exhaust valve adjustment in the past 2,500 miles. All oil lines are in excellent shape. Super clean motor from topside and underside. Any dry or cracked lines were replaced. Rebuilt motor with receipts, 1997 with proper reinforced head studs. About 10,000 miles on rebuilt motor. Many Porsche tech forums mention that rebuilt 2.7's are capable of lasting for an easy 100,000+ without any problems. Even at 6,000+ rpm the motor is smooth and very well balanced. New transmission mounts. 2010 New motor mounts. 2010 Converted to double 3-barrel downdraft Zenith/Solex carburetors – each Rebuilt with receipts. Recently installed (2010) brand new jets perfectly matched to these carbs. Not only does it run great, but it looks like the classic rally cars of the late 60’s and early 70’s. People just stop and stare at this engine. It has a true nastalgic appearance of a race Porsche engine. It’s super clean! My friends joke with me about needing to clean it, becuse they know they could eat off of it. Widened rear fenders to accommodate 18 rims with brand new wide speed rated tires. The fenders are 4.5 inches wider in the rear than stock. Fender work completed by a very high end shop specializing in exotic sport cars. Aluminum wheel spacers front and back appropriate for proper stance and apperance. Front fenders were also rolled in order to eliminate the posibility of any tire rubbing. This car has an excellent stance and holds the road very well. Looks great from the back, front and side too. 80% tread on front speed rated tires. Excellent wear all around. Rebuilt shift linkage from front stick shift to transmission. Upgraded 11-blade cooling fan, clear coated and kept perfectly clean. New rebuilt alternator, new belt, pulley and correct number of washers in installation. The car charges and cools perfect. Turbo finned valve covers downside. All new valve cover gaskets with new lock washer nuts - top and bottom. Two new drive axels with 4 brand new CV joints. Hardened steel fasteners at transmission housing and wheel hub. New front wheel bearings (inner and outer race). 2010 New clutch. 2008 Front and rear drilled brake rotors, Bi-metallic pads. 2010. Looks excellent, works excellent. Front aluminum upper torsion sway bar. 2009 High power halogen headlights. 2009 All lights, blinkers and running lights work. Dash too. Stainless steel collectors – Early 70's style. Highly desirable! Worth $1200. Eliminates the issue of heat build up in the exhuast system common to mid to late 70's Porsches. Secondary fuel pump (rear of car) w/ fuel pressure regulator and gauge. 2009 All dash gauges work including the clock that keeps perfect time – sometimes it slows a bit in weather under 40 degrees. Very nice Blaukpuant radio, with CD player. New sensors - oil pressure and oil temp. 2009 New cam chain oil lines. 2009 New front Boge strut inserts and new rear shocks. 2010 Bump steering kit. New rear torsion bar arm bushings. 2009 New European style tail lights and new rear Porsche reflector. 2009 Brand new rear tires. 2009 About 1,000 miles on the rears. 18 inch Porsche black powder coated rims (4) worth $1500. Oil change in the past 500 miles. This engine never overheats even in 100 degree humid weather. Highest oil temp ever read was 205. Normally reads 170-180 - even at 95+ degrees. Always garaged, very well taken care of. This car never sees rain. You will find zero rust. 1977 was the first year for Porsche to have the body galvanized. This car is not washed with water, it's dusted then dry washed similar to high dollar car show vehicles and then waxed. I clean it up every time it's taken out. It’s super clean inside and out. You will not find the presence of swirl marks or scratches in the paint due to normal hand washing and waxing. The Guards Red paint has a near perfect finish even at a few inches of distance, and under florescent light. Show car quality front to back. You will also find the finish to be super smooth. Rock solid body, drives straight as an arrow. To my knowledge never damaged. I know this car from front to back, and I am not aware of any body work to repaired damage. Sunroof works perfect to open and close. Battery cut-off switch installed for storage. Oil pan screen cleaned (When I opened, it was super clean! - but I wanted to make sure), new gaskets. 2010 FYI - Both the transmission and oil drain plugs have magnets in them. Both are super clean, free of even the slightest metal dust. Black headliner is in super shape. Included in sale are various books, framed dealer advertisements from 1977, framed Road and Track write ups and specs on the vehicle. These are nice for car shows, or even your garage wall. I have designed the R&T specs to fit in the pasanger window during car shows. Of course it’s a 33 year old car – so there are a few very minor things to be aware of: Car has to be stopped or rolling at one or two miles per hour in order to place into 1st gear. Read up – this is common in Porsche’s with the 915 tranny. Syncro might be starting to go. By recomondation, I am currently running SWEPCO 201 gear oil – and this has definitely made a significant difference. 2nd – 5th work great!! I can drive the car all day without grinding a gear 1st through 5th. I rebuilt the shift linkage to the transmission about a year ago, all new bushings and cups, however I may not have the coupling adjustment 100% correct. When I'm stoping I slip the transmission almost into 2nd, and then back up to 1st. This aligns the 1st gear syncro's 99% of the time. This was another recomondation from many Porsche tech forums. The engine has a tendency to lightly pop a little from rolling idle to acceleration. Not all the time. Excess fuel collects in the flat part of the exahust right below the cylinders, causing exhast pops. Another common Porsche issue (especially with the carbureted cars) I believe the left hand butterflies in the carbs need to be adjusted just a bit more. The engine idles perfect (900 to 1000 rpm), drives, accelerates, decelerates and cruises perfect – sounds like a healthy sewing machine. You won’t be dissatisfied with the performance.
