I bought this car, 2 ,yrs. ago, and intended a total restroration on it,,I had all belts, front seals, water pump, and clutch, attended to. tensioners, cam cover, and all the details,,,were attended to.
I put white face gauges, blue LED lights, and Polk audio..marine speakers..installed, a used top...( not pretty, but doesn't leak )....I then decided to paint some custom stripes....Irisblau, with amethyst pearl borders At the time of the stripes...the hood, rear cover, and quarter tops, were refinished.a B&B stainless exhaust was installed, and the brake shoes, and rotors were replaced, and turned.. the entire clutch, and brake system was bled...,the top surfaces were painted, the door handle gaskets, and both grills were replaced,.A set of LLoyds mats, aluminium pedals etc... I put a R 134 compressor, and seals on the car, and went no further...I had a career ending injury, and this wonderful project, came to a halt, 13 mo's ago.....and now we are here...
And now the bad...she has a few small dings,and a slight ding, at the top rear of the left door, , the 2 stage clutch, is stout to push...perhaps a bit much for the car...and I burned through the clear in a couple spots...trying to buff the ./..scuffed sides....I am very good at ,custom paint, as the picture shows...the Pres, of PCNA, said at Daytona, last year ...that the stripes, were the most stunning, he had seen....,for what that is worth...,I have all the pieces to finish her....Aircraft aluminium camber plates, new clips, and gaskets, for the side skirts,..a new drier for the AC conversion, Oil filters, new motor mounts, and a box of little goodies...nuts, bolts, mounts...etc...for an owner who wants to keep her...as a final note...I will answer all questions, quickly, and courteously...remember...she is not perfect, the interior is good....IE, no dash cracks etc..but she is not done....Mechanically, solid as hell...SHE needs finished,,,don't buy her if you want a concourse car...buy her, if you want a damb dependable Porsche...Please remember..a few hours of paint, work, on each side, and a top, is all I would say this car needs.cosmetically, and the drier, and charge, on the ac.
One item, I had forgotten. The car was tow dollied backwards from Pa to Florida several monthes ago, and rather ruined the front tires...I don't drive her, so never replaced them..I also zeroed the odometer yesterday, and it stopped...I'll try to check it out today...hopefully I can get it squared..One item, I had forgotten. The car was tow dollied backwards from Pa to Florida, and rather ruined the front tires...I don't drive her, so never replaced them..I also zeroed the odometer yesterday, and it stopped...I'll try to check it out toda
Gathered all the spare's and goodies today...lots of new stuff, and some used goodies also....will place all in the trunk....found the stripe paint, also, Ill send it along to the buyer...If wanted I found all the original speakers in the store room...I would bet, any one who hears the quality of the polks...will leave them in...but Ill send them anyway.
I also have a fair amount of service history receipts, and will place them, with the owners manual, for your records..Timing belts, rollers, tensioners, water pump, etc, etc....I can be reached at 321/261/9631....

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911
Thu, 26 Sep 2013According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.
