This item was sold but bidder did not pay after 1 week. So, it is relisted. The motor came from a 1980 911 carerra (640c). It was purchased in New Orleans in running condition before being parked for a few years. It has oil leaks as usual. The brake fluid has also leaked out. Before being parked, it had New brake calipers ,discs,etc. And also had new windshield. 4th gear was not going in, maybe linkage or synchro. Oil line has flat spot from hitting uhaul trailer. The ac is empty, leaked out. Targa vinyl is worn out. This car is mostly complete, so you won't need to buy many parts that aren't made anymore. Bid honorably, no reserve, car is also on local classifieds for local buyers. You will receive a signed title with two bill of sale. International buyers with current feedbacks are welcome. Thank you This is an as is, where is, no warranty sale. The car is sold for parts or repair, no returns,partial refunds etc. Inspect the car before buying. The following statement is my personal opinion and may not be factual technical information or know how: This may be an easy restoration for a diyer with mechanical experience or knows someone who is. Don't let the European name scare you. Porsches and Volkswagen are well known for durability and dependability. Although, a few things you should know like check oil level only,yes only with engine warm because that's what it says on the dipstick. And also ,the valve adjustment is .001, yes it is tight. It is an air cooled,oil cooled system. It has a trombone cooling. Meaning there is a bend on the copper pipe that goes back to the motor. You may need to remove the trombone and change it with any oil cooler that can be soldered to the trombone fitting. Otherwise,your temp will go up if stuck in traffic on a hot summer day. Copper line also has a flat part from bumping on a uhaul trailer. If you know how to solder copper, you can replace it with proper sized one. That part may have also cause the increase in temp. Muffler has holes from rust. Always have a fire extinguisher when driving classic 911s. The body is galvanized and may last a hundred years if cared for. The steering shaft and it's ujoint are rusted which may be the cause of soft shaking at 75-80. There are scratches and dings of course. The engine ran before being parked in the garage for a few years. All the oil, and I couldn't believe the brake fluid too, had drained out. I wouldn't waste my time fixing small things. If you get this, i suggest doing an entire restoration/ repair or use it for parts. 4th gear wasn't going in when driving. The interior is mostly there except maybe pieces of the carpet on the driver side. A.c. controls aren't put back right. System has no Freon from leak. It uses regular rectangular fog lights that you can get anywhere. Other than that, most of the parts that they don't make any more are there. Parts can be costly so you can save with this one. The engine and transmission sits on the tub. It comes down together. Treat it like a boat. Don't trust gaskets alone, always use oil resistant silicone in every gasket. The oil sending unit may be the most common source of oil leak, so put oilres silicone on it too. Freon has leaked out since the last person used hose clamps to fix it. It may need new lines or upgrade to 134. This 911 heater gets heat from the exhaust manifold so make sure it's sealed from carbon monoxide or just disconnect it to be safe. Muffler is rusted and leaks. It has Fuchs wheels. This car may not be fully 1979 stock. Wear and tear parts like the tires are worn out. Remember,this car sat in the garage for a few years. Have you seen a non galvanized 1969 911s going for $100,000? This 1979 with galvanized body may be one of your good investment without the probability of turning into a apile of rust in your garage. Be it restoration with your son or grandson or maybe just use it as a garage decoration to sell in a few years. Immediate $500 deposit, Thank you If you are willing to wait, this car will be fixed up by summer if it won't sell. The price will change.

One power window switch acts up, doors are uneven, rear windshield leaks. Again, this car is for restoration parts and repair. The main thing is you won't be buying too many rare parts. Targa skin (available on ebay for 99$ free shipping) tore off while folding it, just now. Thank you
