Vehicle Detail

Welcome to my auction. This is my personal vehicle and it's registered in my name. This '74 Coupe is in spectacular condition throughout. It comes with complete service records from 1974 to date, with no gaps in the history. Only one owner from 1980 until 2012. It has had a $20000 mechanical restoration approx 3000 miles ago (all invoices available) and was subject to a professional repaint in the last couple of years, including new seals, gaskets and trim (approx $10000 spent). You will not find a nicer example. Here are the details: 1974 911 standard coupe with no sunroof Bought new from Rusnak Porsche in Pasadena, CA (still in business today) No accidents and perfect panel gaps Pristine Signal Orange paint with a consistant and deep shine throughout All trim and seals are in excellent condition Underside of vehicle is completely dry and solid Genuine Fusch wheels with very recent matching tires Recent brakes Drives beautifully after a complete engine teardown/rebuild and many other mechanical components replaced at the same time. No smoke, even when cold starting. There really are no serious negatives with this 911. The fuel gauge works, but is not accurate, the left headlight & high beam is erratic and the passenger window is stiff going up and down. That's about it. Last weekend my friend and I drove the car for hours non-stop. Some of the photos are taken from Malibu, up in the Santa Monica Mountains. The car is wonderful to drive on those roads, pulling relentlessly through all the gears. Shortly afterwards we stopped for lunch at Duke's on Pacific Coast Highway (very busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon) and the car attracted quite a crowd. When we came out from lunch, the valet had parked it right outside the main entrance. Not the new Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Range Rover's or Bentley's, but my little old orange car! Those other $250000 cars are a dime a dozen in this part of the world! This car is one of a kind. I'm not desperate to sell, so will not entertain silly offers. The reason for selling is that my wife and I are buying a house this summer, so I have to start getting my funds in order, thus selling this and my old Land Rover Defender. I'm happy to answer any questions and to show the vehicle to serious buyers. I work long hours, so please, serious buyers only please. Best of luck to all you air-cooled enthusiasts!
