On Aug-04-12 at 08:11:11 PDT, seller added the following information: I just added 23 more photos to show the fine condition of this 911 for your review. I also included a picture of the Porsche Factory Service Manuals in Mint ($1,100 value)...a total of 6, I thought it was 7, A 4" binder full of all receipts, I call it the OCD binder because everything is in precise chronological order, totaling nearly 70 grand for the 911, and a few other manuals I have for the car. Notice the items in the picture of the trunk, rear seatbacks, original engine grill & original rear light bar, all changed out during the resto. Below is the content of a letter from the gentleman who had all the work done on the car, Michael O. Chaney. This is very interesting and you'll want to read it. "It was a kind gesture of you to write and introduce yourself. I had a great deal of fun working with your 911, I know you will too. I'm glad to see it land in capable and appreciative hands. That car represents over 10 years of my life. My original intent upon purchasing the '77 911 was to update it for club racing. I had Bob Farmer completely rebuild (top and bottom) and install his Stage I modifications, which boosts the 2.7L from 180 horsepower to 235 horsepower with an increase in torque equivalent to horsepower. Another great feature is that the aluminum alloy heads and cylinders (standard) were replaced with Nicosil (RSR), and allows for a higher red line. However, I rarely went above the recommended 6800 rpm (or whatever the standard factory max rpm). On the body, I did a frame up restoration to the RS America so it would look presentable while driving about. All the panels (bumpers, fenders, whale tail, etc.) are Porsche Factory with the exception of the door panels, those were repros purchased new from Automotion (A Porsche parts distributor.) I think the car weight is around 2300 lbs. About the only thing original is the front bonnet and of course the frame and some interior. The seats are the factory Recaro Turbo. It was a great car for me; but I got more into Bentley's and only had a specified amount of time & room to keep it. Again, I'm much appreciative for your letter and if you have any questions about the car give me a call or send me an email. Regards, Michael O. Chaney" On Aug-04-12 at 13:30:25 PDT, seller added the following information:Yes, you can have it shipped to Canada.
