Selling the car I picked up a few years ago. I've put a fair amount of work into this car and just had Bill Whitesides get some final issues resolved.
I'll start by listing the original ad (as it appeared on world...Original ad). This was the car as purchased by another forum member. I bought it from him with the 2.7 CIS installed. I'll list the specs of the car (modifying the description to show things that have changed) and then list the recent work: 1972 Irish Green. Originally Irish Green, painted yellow at some point in its life, then painted back to Irish Green. There is no rust on this car that I have seen and neither has Bill W (who dropped the engine and been all through the car inside and out..... he has seen everything there is to see). I don't believe the car has ever been hit. The front trunk pan has some minor damage by either running over something or an idiot with a jack. The paint is decent but has several small "bubbles" on the hood and several other flat surfaces from poor paint prep. I can't get them to show in a picture. Paint is pretty good and a good buffing would do wonders. Interior is very clean. The car has the very hard to find dark brown interior. Seats are good and dash is uncracked. Carpet is new. Everything works (except for heat...because, you know...headers) including the clock. Car runs and drives very well. 2.7L 911 CIS 6 cylinder engine with a 73 7R case Stainless steel brake lines Cross drilled and vented brakes 5 bolt Fuchs Alloys 6 x 16 with four year old Pirelli CINTURATO P7 205/55R16 and a Fuchs 6x16 spare Sway Bars front and rear Side shift transmission and shift mechanism 19 mm 911 Master cylinder M calipers front . Widened calipers rear with handbrake functional . New Brake pads front and rear New Bilstein front inserts ( shocks ) New Ball joints New rear shocks Boge and springs #140 lbs New Speedo Cable and Angle Drive New Carpets New Seat Belts ( and retractors ) New Fuel Pump ( relocated to front trunk ) Center Console with Gauges 911 oil pressure /oil temp gauge Porsche Oil tank New inner and outer rockers After I bought the car in 2015, I took it to Series 9 in DeLand Florida where Joe - resealed the engine - installed stainless steel fuel lines in the tunnel - installed a Bob Saville Naro engine mount - Installed MSD 6AC ignition I drove the car sparingly (too many other cars to drive). Plus, the transmission was well worn and I really didn't enjoy driving it that much. So, I had Dr. Evil build me a new transmission. That takes us to the present. I took the car to Bill W and he did the following: - Remove and replace transmission - Drop engine and replace alternator ($379 for alternator) - Replace shifter assembly - Weld broken clutch tube - Rebuild pedal cluster - Replace clutch cable - Change oil, replace warped oil sump plate - Four wheel laser alignment So, if you made it this far, you know the history of the car. Why am I selling? You may have seen my previous posts that Marathon Blue is my favorite color. I have everything needed to build a 6 conversion (including a '74 in Marathon blue). So, I'm going to build my own. Price is $22,000 obo. |

Awesome Buy!
BTW why are you west coast guys stealing our east coast cars??? It's hard enough finding a clean one on the east coast. This one and JoeProper's both went to Cali. I thought they had an over abundance of rust free perfect drivers. What say you Oscar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Hey..I had nothing to do with those two cars coming to the West Coast. Wish I did though. Don't kid me, some of my favorite 914's are back East. I saw Okteenerfest photos. Oscar |

There is another Joe out there that you have me confused with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Joe Proper is a good guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And I'm obviously a mess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) @Joeproper |
