Slant-Nose Cabriolet w/Turbo-Look Wide Body & 3.2 Motor (Original 3.0 Available)

1979 Porsche 911 Slant-Nose, Wide-Body Cabriolet Convertible Description

This beautiful all-steel, slant-nosed, wide-bodied, whale-tailed classic is a period-perfect conversion that looks identical to Porsche’s era-defining 911 Super Carrera Turbo.

Recently tuned 3.2-liter Carrera motor runs and sounds great. 5-speed manual trans shifts well. Rust-free body. No oil leaks. Matching numbers. The car was restored in 2011, when it earned a salvage title, which was due to interior and exterior vandalism seen in the video below.

The car’s original 3.0-liter motor (serial number 6580035) and additional parts are available. Please see my other listings for more information and photos.

I’ve done my best to accurately describe the car in detail and provide sharp, well-lit photos. Please contact me with any questions you may have--before bidding. Pre-purchase inspections are welcome. The car is being sold as-is, where-is and the winning bid is not negotiable. Buyer is responsible for local pickup or shipping, but I’m glad to help in any way possible.
