there was a dent near the left rear tail light. The family started by having the body work repaired and the car repainted in red, they
also had the seats recovered in black leather and in 1976 the car was back on the road, with this car comes a note book of receipts of parts
and work done on the car between 1975 and 2012 including many old photos of the car. The odometer reads 74350 and that is believed to be the original mileage although it cannot be proven.
Since I have owned this car I have had the engine fully serviced and the weber carbs have been rebuilt, the fan shroud and sheet metal have been powder
coated, a new battery, crank shaft seals, sump plate gaskets, oil cooler seals, drive belt, spark plugs, oil lines and oil filter have been installed.
The floors are in excellent original shape, I did have the battery box tray replaced and repaired professionally using a replacement panel purchased from
stoddard parts. The body is not perfect and the paint does show its age and is worn thin in areas but there is no rust what so ever on the car and,
it does polish up nicely and has the appearance of a driver not a restored car or a show stopper, it does how ever perform as a good daily driver car should.
This car is a Matching numbers very solid rust free black Plate California car with 37 years worth of documentation, and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.
Please contact me for with any questions or request for photos you may have.

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines
Wed, 19 Mar 2014About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
