VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
I am a non-smoking 50 year old automotive enthusiast and former owner of an automotive performance company. Of the many vehicles I have owned, his 911 has been an amazing car. It has unsurpassed reliability, wesome performance, op-down enjoyment, nd is always the center of attention. Every detail has been addressed to assure transformation from classic exotic street car to 2900 lb track-ready race-car in less than 1 hour.
This car has never been raced.Itwas used only as a marketing toolat a number of recreational track events onCaliforniaroad courses between'03 and '06. The four road courses were:

• Laguna Seca (now Mazda Raceway, onterey, A)
• Sears Point (now Infineon Raceway, onoma, A)
• Buttonwillow Raceway (Buttonwillow, A)
• Willow Springs Raceway -Rosamond, A. (about 1 hour north ofLos Angeles)

HISTORY:
I bought this car inLos Angelesin '97 with 106,000 miles on it.
Before I bought it, he transmission and clutch assembly were rebuilt (I have all shop receipts from previous owner). I completed all cosmetic and performance modifications between '97 and '03. By '04, t became my company's marketing & track vehicle and was a feature vehicle at the '06 SEMA Show inLas Vegas,Nevada.
The recession killed my business by 2008, became a dad in '09, nd had a second child in '10. Since then, have had little opportunity to drive the car. As one of my 5 vehicles, only start it up every month and drive it once every 3 months. We are now running out of room and need money for home improvements. This car has been my dream to own and really I wish I could keep it. It has been an amazing car for me, nd by far, he most reliable of any of the 14 cars I have owned during my adult life (new and/or used). Unfortunately, have no choice but to sell it. My loss is your gain.
This is a 30 year old classic performance vehicle with a theft salvage title, o I want to make sure I am absolutely clear as to its condition, uances, nd idiosyncrasies.
EXTERIOR:

• Updated to '90-'92 year C2 body style
• Cabriolet Conversion performed with Porsche factory components
• Convertible top -- Outside canvas and rear plastic window are in "like new" condition (no rips or tears in top exterior, nd the plastic rear window is perfect), ut the thin interior top liner fabric needs to be replaced.

• Porsche factory headlights and trim rings, ront bumper, nd rocker panels.

• Front and rear sway bars are larger than stock, nd use stiffer racing bushings.
• This car can be pushed the edge of its performance envelope with confidence and predictability
• Let go of the steering wheel at any speed and it tracks straight and true

I am definitely biased with this statement, ut.... in my humble opinion...
THIS IS THE BEST HANDLING AIR-COOLED 911 THAT I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO DRIVE

I have driven many '84-'89 911's, s well as '90-'94 911 C2's (964), nd also '95-'98 911's (993). None ofthemin their stock configuration could hold a candle to the perfectly balanced handling of this car resulting from 3 years of experimentation and testing at multipleCaliforniarace-tracks.

EXTRAS INCLUDED INSALE:

• Extra set of light-weight factory Porsche Cup wheels with silver clear-coat and matching center-caps with hand-painted Porsche crests. None of these wheels have ever been curbed or damaged in any way. Mounted and balanced with Khumo Victoracer racing compound tires that have only 3 recreational track days on them
• 4-point removable (bolt-in) roll bar
• Cloth Car Cover
• Full front bra set (hasn't been used since car was acquired)
• Renewed registration this year (Feb '16 tags), assed smog easily in '15

ISSUES NEEDING ATTENTION:
It has just a few minor details that are typical of a garage-kept 30 year old street and track driven collector car.

• Headlights, ail-lights, nd parking lights all work. However, he rear right brake light works properly only when the headlights are off. When headlights are on, he right rear brake light dims slightly when brakes are applied. All other exterior lights work fine at all times.
• Convertible top takes a bit of finesse to put up and secure (doesn't quite fit right, ut isn't noticeable and the seal is not bad for a post-production conversion using factory parts). When the car is stationary in the rain, he top only allows slight drips at the corner where R&L windows meet the front windshield and top. When moving, here are no drips. Still..... Even though I have used this car as a daily driver many years ago, t's not exactly the most comfortable car in that capacity.
• Fit and tolerances of doors to body are slightly off, ut only noticeable if you are looking for it under close inspection. Again, his was a SEMA show vehicle, o it's a beautiful car, ut not meant to be (nor will it ever be) concourse quality.
• Tub underside shows signs of repair, ndicating some type of accident must have occurred many years ago, ut I have had no incidents in 18 years.
• Again, he car drives true and handles great, o cosmetic tolerances seem to be the only other evidence of this pre-theft-salvage event (pre-'96).
• During body and paint update in '97, he shop elected to secure the factory rocker panels by using visible body rivets during update (instead of the factory hidden clip method). Not a clean implementation, ut created an unintended cool look to the car
• Horn doesn't work. Wiring at horn in fender needs to be re-connected.
• Trunk lid shock that keeps lid up while open has lost a bit of its strength. Should be replaced.

That's about it.

Please feel free to contact me with ANY questions you may have... I will be happy to provide additional information, xtra pictures, oordinate a pre-purchase inspection, r answer any questions.
