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!

The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.

Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.

Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
