I picked this car up a while back sight unseen,  It did not arrive in the condition as described.  It was supposed to be a fantastic running and driving car,  with some dents, dings, and a little rust. When it finally showed up,  I was pleased to find less rust than I feared, but it barely made it into my garage under it's own power, and the brakes were locking up.  It was time to get to work

First up,  I went through the brakes.  Virtually every part of the brake system is new or rebuilt where you can't buy new. 
New OEM ATE Master Cylinder
New OEM ATE Brake lines all around
Rebuilt front and rear calipers (Very Expensive) 
Discs were cleaned up as they are within spec
It stops great now,  and does not have any brake drag that is so common on early Porsches

Then it came to the motor,  which while rebuilt, barely ran upon arrival.  I spent a fair amount of time replacing parts
Rebuilt 031 Porsche 912 only Distributor. Rebuilt original fuel pump (expensive!)
Pertronix Electronic points replacement
Cap Rotor Sparkplugs ETC
Adjusted valves
Removed and re-installed exhaust to replace the gaskets

I could not get the original Solex split shaft P11-40 carburetors to work for me,  So I added freshly rebuilt Dellorto 40 DRLA carbs
The original Solex carbs are valuable,  and will be included with the car.  They actually look to be recently rebuilt,  but those split shafts are tricky and it takes a lot of patience and experience to get them right.

I replaced the pedal assembly with a restored one,  with upgraded brass bushings instead of the plastic. 
Also replaced the 3 accelerator rod bushings in the tunnel.  The accelerator rod damper and some belcrank stuff as well
I added the brand new replica early alloy wheels and brand new Firestone 560 tires.  They are Period correct
The gauges work,  Temp, Fuel, Speedo, Tach.  The odometer does not work. They do light up with the headlights as they should
The turn signals work at speed,  but not while stopped.  Common Classic Porsche problem
The horns are not connected to the nardi button.  They worked with the stock steering wheel
I do have the original blaupunkt radio for the car as well, included. I do have steel wheels that we can discuss,  2 4.5's, 1 5.5 and 1 356 Wheel and hubcaps

The car looks great but it does have dents and dings and a little rust in the rocker area.  One dent on the hood,  where it looks like someone pushed on the hood.  The paint in the dent is cracked. One dent on the drivers rear fender.  This is the worst dent on the car.  The paint is cracked in this dent as well
It's got dings, It's got scratches, like at the gas flap door where the paint is always scratched from filling up and hitting with the nozzle
The floors are clean and free of rust, see the pics. There is a rust bubble in the paint on the passenger side door in the corner. You can see this in the pics.
The rockers have a little rust.  The doors are super clean and shut with the ping that they should.  The front pan area is clean including the suspension area, see the pics.  Under the hood and in the back is clean as well

The interior is original. Couple scratches in the leather but excellent condition.  I didnt touch it nor does it need it.
The door panels are original and excellent.  The headliner could use a cleaning but it's pretty nice. 
I added the vintage Nardi wheel,  I do have the Porsche steering wheel but I think it may be later 911 padded leather.  not sure
I added a reproduction but correct shift knob
The sun visors are correct and nice

The Motor runs cool on the freeway and even in stop and go traffic. It has a fairly recent rebuild with larger 1720 Pistons, and a mild port job.  It may have a slightly hotter cam.
It sounds great and has plenty of power when you want it.  It idles at 900 and cruises well at around 3K RPMs, from 3K to 6500RPM's is a blast. 
I do drive the car locally but I have never driven the car further than 60 or so miles at a time.  I have had it past 100mph recently and it feels as a Porsche should
I just changed the oil and filter and it came out clean,  no metal shavings or anything unexpected.
The engine tin is all powder coated and nice

This is a great honest car. It could use some paint and fiddling around type of tuning work to make it perfect but is absolutely beautiful as is. If you made it this far,  you know Porsche's, you know early short wheel base cars, and you've watched the prices skyrocket.  You've seen how these early 3 gauge cars are especially sought after and command higher prices.  You've also seen rust buckets go for ridiculously high prices. You've watched thesamba, eBay, Etc. I have too

No warranty stated or implied.  Non-Refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction close,  Balance to be paid via wire only within 7 days. Wire only,  I do not need someone showing up with $20K+ cash. It is Houston after all... Please check my perfect feedback including selling 2 classic VW's here on eBay.  I'm good as a buyer too :D

I will assist your shipper,  I can recommend a great shipper,  and if you are an international buyer,  I will assist in driving the car to the port of Houston

I will keep the car insured and garaged until pick up, but please be mindful about picking up within 2 weeks.  My garage space is at a premium.  Speaking of insurance,  it is currently insured at $25K agreed value with Hagerty,  it runs about $200 a year.  They actually want to bump it up to $30K,  they too follow classic Porsche prices.
