Once in a very great while, special car comes along, ne that has everything (desirable make, he right year, odel, onderful condition and most of all, rovable history). There are many wonderful seeming cars offered in the marketplace that don’t stand close scrutiny. They look and drive great, ut when you examine the history closely, here is an unknown or a gap before a date.
Many of these cars have been assembled from parts and pieces and offered as restored whole vehicles. The numbers all match, ut most everything else is from another car or has been reproduced. The people that are involved in this practice are very talented with much expertise, aking it very hard to recognize and there is nothing legally wrong, s long as the car is presented correctly.
The popular TV show Graveyard Cars (GYC) is an example of this practice. GYC does an unbelievable great and complete restoration that anyone would be proud to own. Examples of what they start with is what we refer to above. Unfortunately, very classic car offered as restored has not gone through a process as complete as GYC offers.
In our 40 years of experience in Porsche restoration we have done many PPI’s (Pre Purchase Inspections) to insure our clients are getting what they think they are purchasing. In too many cases, ars have been found to have been once totaled (and even scrapped) in the past. In the days before CarFax, omputers and titles records are often missing or unavailable, hus unproven and subject to manipulation.
Wouldn’t you like to be sure that your special classic car was not assembled from parts in some leaky warehouse by less than qualified technicians? That’s exactly what we are offering.
The 1970 Porsche 911T that we offer for sale has had one previous owner, nd we can prove it. Our car was never wrecked, nd we can prove it. It had the engine and transmission rebuilt by Porsche at 69,000 miles and we can prove it. We have the complete service history in a 3 ring binder that is almost 3 inches thick, howing the original invoice and every service and repair since new. We can show the only damage the car’s body ever had (slight side swipe in the 1980’s) we have photos. Porsche specialist, estorer and consultant Greg Godbout personally sought out and met with local service manager who clearly remembers owner and even the mechanic who serviced the car since new.
Our car has gone through a minor restoration process ($33k), ully documented and done by a company with a 40 year history of Porsche services. That’s what makes this car special!
