Just purchased a 1974 Porche.
Car seems to be in pretty good shape,drives well and shifts pretty good,having a bit of a hard time finding second but it will come.

Car has 106,000 miles on it,and from what I have read it will have some rust.

The only issue so far is its really hard to start when cold???.
Runs great once its running for a ,minute.
Payed 6200 dollars which I thought was a good price.

I dont know what type of rims are on the car ???.

Anyway been reading about the carin this forum till my eyes hurt,any suggestions or things I shoud look for would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Grant

Let me know when you get the car and we'll meet up and chat. We are all up north in Coventry and Panorama.

ATS wheels, or possibly Cromodoro. If the latter, they will have the name on the outside face of the wheel somewhere.

Thanks for the heads up on the wheels.

Look forward to picking up the car and driving up to see you guys,and get some info on the car.
Cant wait to check things out on it.

Already ordering cold start valve,etc,in the hopes it will fix the poor starting when cold.

Pretty Stoked,waited a long time to buy myself a project car.
My 1960 Caravelle never did get finished before I sold it.

I will be keeping this car,no matter what shape the hell hole stuff is in.
