Our seller purchased this Turbo Body Cabriolet in marchof 2000 with the engine in need of repair. As an engineer at Ford and an enthusiast with an interest in Porsche, he purchased the car in non-running condition and sourced the parts and labor to have the engine rebuilt. The receipts and information our seller has will go with the car at the time of sale. He states that the car has traveled less than 1,000 since thework was done approximately ten years ago. He's retired and his health issues limitedhis use of the car and It has been four years since it was licensed for the road. It starts, runs and drives, however, it does run rough and that could be from lack of use, bad gas (had anewgas tank installed when engine work was done), injectors clogged, bad plugs... it needs to be sorted and repaired as needed.
The car started life in California to the best of our seller's knowledge and the CarFax information. It was stolen and recovered in November of 1992 while still in California (the original engine could have been removed at that time) and it was subsequentlyissued a "rebuilt" title. According to what we can see of the history, it came to Michigan in 1995, spent a short time in Texas and in 2000 was sold to the current owner. It currently has a Michigan title (free of liens) and it states on the front of the title that is was previously issued a Salvage Title.
Overall cosmetics are "driver" quality with noted defects to include a large piece of the paint chipped off on top of the passenger side fender and a cut in the top panel of the convertible top. The A/C belt is missing, not all diretions of the power seats operate properly from the control switches, and please note that other electronics have not been tested.
The seller believes that the mileage is "close to original", and was not aware that the odometer is not working. It will be sold as "true mileage unknown".
