The car is 99% original factory paint. This car has NOT been restored or resprayed. A little bit of paintwork was done to the front hood, where some brake fluid had discolored the paint- and there is one small chip on the front bumper that has been filled- but as far as I can tell... that is it. The car is showing 40,570 miles as of today. I think given the overall condition if you told someone this car had four thousand in stead of forty thousand miles- they would believe it!
The underside of this car is as pretty as the top- Floor pans, lower control arms, underside skid plate- all super clean. This car was not degreased and pressure washed- it's just THAT clean. Never hit or damaged, just pampered by a few real Porsche-o-phile owners! The sport seat interior is in great shape- the "PORSCHE" lettering on the seats in great shape with no rips or tears. There is an aftermarket Pioneer radio in the dash now but I have not even used it- the car sounds so good that's what I listen to. The sunroof works great- sunroof motor and the delicate latches all in perfect condition. Windows motors are great- windows fly up and down!
The best part of this car is the driving. It feels like a BRAND NEW 951. The doors slam with bank vault authority. It fires right up,l attains a steady idles and pulls like crazy! With the upgraded suspension and new rubber it handles like a race car. The 5 speed transmission is just butter- even ice cold is slots into 2nd gear effortlessly. Brakes are excellent. headlight doors go up and down with no problem. It has a decent set of floor mats and a complete set of books, though the service manual stamps are not a VIN match to this car, but the booklet is correct for 86. If I had the space I'd keep this thing forever, but in my heart I'm really a 911 guy.
I would really call this a #1 or "#1-" car. Hagerty pegs the value at $46,400 for #1 and $32,800 for #2. I'll leave the value up to you guys. I have WAY too much money in this car, but I've enjoyed the heck out of it- so I hope you do too!
So remember- NO RESERVE- bid to win. The car is located at my warehouse just outside of Boston- Feel free to make arrangements to view it in person- I have both 2 post and 4 post lifts to get her in the air for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
YES- This car is ALSO for sale locally- so I reserve the right to end the auction if a suitable local offer is made.
