I have over 100 detailed pictures on an online photo album, hat I can send to potential buyers, lease get in touch and I will send them to you.

The first owner was a Portland Trailblazer, rofessional basketball player (Sidney Wicks). The second owner purchased this Porsche around 1976/77 and I bought it and became the 3rd owner a year ago. Showing 92,500 original miles and is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. I spent countless hours and many thousands of dollars to restore this Porsche to a very high standard, hile preserving as much of the original car as possible. The interior for example is 100% original I only had to clean and detail it.

Rebuilt Engine with appropriate upgrades: This is the factory numbers matching 2.7 liter engine. The engine has 92,500 miles but was rebuilt in 1980 at 53,548 miles. This was a complete rebuild which included new pistons and cylinders, ebuilt heads with new valves, ll bearings etc. At that time a “carrera chain tensioner kit” was installed. Stainless steel heat exchangers were added in late 1996 when the car had 90,280 miles. I added a “pop-off valve” to the air box.

Recently this engine was removed and resealed and has no oil leaks, new spark plugs were installed, he fuel injectors were cleaned and tested, ll engine fuel and vacuum lines were replaced as well as the oil and fuel filters, ew fuel lines from the gas tank to the body lines and Brad Penn oil were added. A new engine sound pad was installed as well as engine compartment seals. The muffler was high temp powder coated and a new and correct black muffler tip was installed. The fuel pump was rebuilt. The ignition was timed. This engine is fantastic, tarts right up, dles smooth and pulls hard all the way to redline.

The Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche shows that this Porsche Carrera came with the following options: Salmon Metallic paint, eletion of Carrera stript on doors, arga folding top, ilstein shocks, og lights, inted glass, ntermittent wipers, umpers with impact absorption, innamon colored interior and U.S equipment.

Transmission and clutch: Shifts and operates beautifully and has no leaks. New shifter bushings were installed as well as Swepco fluid. The shifter and clutch were adjusted.

Brakes: New brake pads, luid and lines, ebuilt calipers, iscs are used but have very low wear and are well within specifications. Front brakes are factory aluminum units which I had rebuilt locally and the rears were restored and rebuilt by PMB brakes the best in the business, see pics.).

Suspension: Original Bilstein’s which are operating very well, rives and handles very nice.

Tires: Good tread but are believed to be old and should be replaced. I didn’t do this to allow the buyer to pick their brand and size etc. and because European buyers have to discard U.S. tires which is a waste in my opinion.

Body: High quality complete paint job recently completed, ncluding inside of doors, oor jams, nd front and rear hoods. The paint inside the wheel wells and the finishes on the floor boards, op and bottom are original aside from extensive cleaning (see pics.). The body was rust and damage free prior to painting. Some of the original cosmoline is still present on the suspension etc.

Electrical: New alternator, ew Interstate battery, ll lights are tested and are working, ew old stock front headlight surrounds with a H4 bulb upgrade was added.

Interior: All original, ncluding the beautiful seats, oor panels, arpet, arrera “sport” steering wheel, nd no crack dash. I spent many hours cleaning and detailing the interior. The front leather seats were cleaned, onditioned and redyed in original color (custom blended) to address some scuffs with high quality products from Leatherique and I restitched the steering wheel. In the back parcel shelf area there is a period 70s dual speaker set (Clover industries) with Blaupunkt speakers and a Blaupunkt Am/Fm cassette, he radio and speakers work well. The Cassette player hasn’t been tested yet, ’ll try to remember to do that. There are period Coco mats on top of the factory floor mats, oth of which are in good shape especially considering that this car is 42 years old and has over 90,000 miles.

Records: Original owner’s manual with selling dealer and first owner’s names (Sidney Wicks, arranty stamps, nd some receipts from the second owner including the 1980 engine rebuild, have a scanned copy that he emailed me, ’m still trying to get the originals. Also included are receipts for all the work that I had done, he paint job, nd new parts that I purchased for the car.

Originality and completeness: Factory original and complete tool kit, wner’s manual, pare tire and wheel, ack, ouch up paint, wo keys that fit all the locks and the Hirschman antennae key. I also have and will include the Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche.
