STUFF I WAS GOING TO DO TO COMPLETE RESTORE WORK :
1] Interior has the original carpets. It is in ok condition, no MAJOR rips or wear.
not too bad for a 37 YEAR OLD CAR though
2] the trunk carpet(easy fix), is tattered and not the best fit or the best looking.
the fusebox cover has cracked and doesnt fasten correctly
3] there is a small crack in the dashboard(see pic) about 1 inch long near the defrost vent. have seen tons worse dahsboards on these 70's porsche's
4] the exterior paint has been retouched and was not done very professionally, there was some bad sanding and contaminates present when it was resprayed.
there are some cancers near the front window seal too. and the engine hood has some dimples in the metal, i'm guessing it stemmed from a meathead mechanic
that did an oil change on it and ruff handle slammed the hood shut....very straight body, NO door dings or major dents. exterior rubber and seals are in excellent
shape and indicative of a garaged, well kept car.
5] the wheels we were going to have polished out(and may still) there are some tiny scuffs, NO CURB SCARS. the stock black paint has faded. most Porscheys
just polish them out to a shiney alloy, but have to remove a nice clearcoat to do it. the Z -rated Tires are fresh, about 80% tread left.
6] The painted mirror edges are some small chips (see pic)
7] Headliner is in great shape. no rips or sag. a bit discolored but because it has had a garaged life, its the best ive seen on a 76 coupe
8] Drivers seat isn't perfect. its not crushed or disfigured, the seat itself is nice, but the backrest has some wear.(see pic) both seat have sheepskin covers
9] the armrests have door pockets underneath them and the material has seperated somewhat not too bad
10] The factory AC venting unit sits just under the dash and isn't the prettiest thing, it isnt fitted to Porsche's standards i think,
you can tell it was an afterthought for the Porsche folks. Porschey's tend to remove them as they don't ad value, and just arent that pretty.
depends if it going to be in a warm climate or will be a daily driver for you. I've had offers on here to purchase it.
11] the rear bumper underside has a scrape on it as well. not noticeable unless you get down and look underneath it
thats pretty much it. simple cosmetics really. the only major things are paint work and a drivers seat(a good auto upholsterer can mend it)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST, FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER.
THIS CAR IS WORTH THE $$ AND A SMART INVESTMENT.
One of these in very similar condition sold on Barret's for $39k recently. It was because it was a rare color, like this one, and it was the European style like this one.
Vehicle History: records indicate it was originally purchased in Redding, CA. there are no records indicating it
has been anything but a California vehicle. We are the 3rd owners, we bought it from a neighbor that gave us
some partial records for the car, he had it about 11years and it was garaged at his place, we never saw it out.
It was appraised by Cruces Classic Cars Inc. in 1993(have certificate) and valued at $14,700 with an
ODO reading of: 79,677. it was given the highest markings of "excellent" condition in 7 categories: exterior-interior-
engine-mechanical-tires?-chrome-glass. we have owned it since late 2010, it has always been garaged, and was driven
very little by us. we had the car partially restored, the work took 6 months and all totalled approximately $18k was
invested in the purchase and restoration work. We had planned to keep it but have too many projects and not enough space
with a recent relocation to store it properly. HATE to let her go as we know its potential, it's a TRUE classic!

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.
