This absolutely stunning original Talbot Yellow 911S Coupe long term project is ready for a new owner who can either drive it the way it sits, or take it to the next level...which isn't that far away. This beauty may lose some of it's aura if you give the "B" grade paint finish a really close inspection, and you might find it a little unsettling that it smokes a little at startup if it's been sitting unused for several days. And yes, there is some very light surface rust in a couple of places that can be easily fixed, and a parking lot bump shows a little on the right rear rubber bumper. So much for the bad news, now a little about the good: The stock (and numbers correct) 2.7L engine was rebuilt to a high level in 2001 (21,000 miles ago) with performance head studs, updated turbo chain tensioners, 11-blade cooling fan, ported and polished heads, higher lift camshafts, carburetors and stainless steel headers, heat exchangers and performance exhaust. The engine shrouding, valve covers and cooling fan were bead blasted and powder coated a beautiful satin black. The stock 915 transmission was rebuilt, 1st and 2nd gear synchronizers replaced, clutch replaced with a lightweight ceramic unit, and the shifter and connection linkage replaced with Wevo units.The suspension was upgraded to new Bilstein shocks and struts, with new turbo tie-rod ends and sway bar linkage. The brake calipers were rebuilt with new Ferodo performance friction. The interior was replaced: new factory original carpet set, Lloyds floor mats, factory vinyl seat covers front and rear, and door panels. The radio was replaced with a very tasteful Becker CDR-210 unit from a Boxster with Boston Acoustics speakers, though I always prefer the music the flat six makes! The exterior was updated with Euro halogen headlights and taillight lenses and a new rubber front bumper "smile". The stock Fuchs wheels (needing restoration) were replaced with later "black spoke" models which I prefer...but you can have your choice of either set...just not both. The tires on both sets are rather old, so you should budget replacement before any spirited driving.I sold my very successful auto repair shop last year and am transitioning to a less stressful life without needful performance cars. Rest assured that all work was completed to a high standard (excepting the paint, and that guy has since died, so I can't really speak ill of his craftsmanship), and the photos speak for themselves.
