If you are looking for a fine restoration project this one is for you. I have owned this Porsche for years and a restoration had begun but not completed. It was mostly complete but partially disassembled when I bought it well over 15 years ago. I have always stored it inside. Currently it is on a rotisserie which is not included as well as the engine stand seen in the pictures.
Most needed replacement body panels were purchased from Zims in Dallas Texas and are a very high quality. Some panels on the left side have been installed by a body shop. The engine was running when purchased and looking under valve cover led me to thing it may be a low mileage rebuild. I do not know if it is the original to the car. The transaxle as well as front suspension have been removed and are included in sale.
Included are New front windshield, rear glass, front seats, gauges includes clock, sway bar, defroster tube, six headlight assemblies and very nice front and rear bumpers I purchased a few years ago. I also have many, many other small parts both new and used that are included.
Please note that you will need a body "dolly" to move and ship. I will work with the Buyer for pickup however I can not help with heavy lifting. Contact me for other information or pictures you might need.
The sale is as is with no implied warranty.
Payment is USA funds and Seller will not handle cross border shipping. The Buyer is to handle all shipping details.

1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
Porsche 918 Spyder debuts with new N"urburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's been a long time in the making, but Porsche has finally revealed the final production version of its long-awaited 918 Spyder here at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And yet that's not even the big news surrounding the hybrid hypercar.
No, the big news is that, while Porsche was preparing taking the wraps off the car here in Frankfurt, elsewhere in Germany a team was setting a blistering lap time at the Nürburgring. And not just any blistering lap time, but a new world record.
Porsche claims that, on the morning of September 4, a team of three drivers (including former rally champ Walter Röhrl and Porsche test drivers Timo Kluck and Marc Lieb) broke the Nordschleife lap record, Lieb finally setting the best time at 6:57 at an average of 111 miles per hour.
