I bought this car, 2 ,yrs. ago, and intended a total restroration on it,,I had all belts, front seals, water pump, and clutch, attended to. tensioners, cam cover, and all the details,,,were attended to.
I put white face gauges, blue LED lights, and Polk audio..marine speakers..installed, a used top...( not pretty, but doesn't leak )....I then decided to paint some custom stripes....Irisblau, with amethyst pearl borders At the time of the stripes...the hood, rear cover, and quarter tops, were refinished.a B&B stainless exhaust was installed, and the brake shoes, and rotors were replaced, and turned.. the entire clutch, and brake system was bled...,the top surfaces were painted, the door handle gaskets, and both grills were replaced,.A set of LLoyds mats, aluminium pedals etc... I put a R 134 compressor, and seals on the car, and went no further...I had a career ending injury, and this wonderful project, came to a halt, 13 mo's ago.....and now we are here...
And now the bad...she has a few small dings,and a slight ding, at the top rear of the left door, , the 2 stage clutch, is stout to push...perhaps a bit much for the car...and I burned through the clear in a couple spots...trying to buff the ./..scuffed sides....I am very good at ,custom paint, as the picture shows...the Pres, of PCNA, said at Daytona, last year ...that the stripes, were the most stunning, he had seen....,for what that is worth...,I have all the pieces to finish her....Aircraft aluminium camber plates, new clips, and gaskets, for the side skirts,..a new drier for the AC conversion, Oil filters, new motor mounts, and a box of little goodies...nuts, bolts, mounts...etc...for an owner who wants to keep her...as a final note...I will answer all questions, quickly, and courteously...remember...she is not perfect, the interior is good....IE, no dash cracks etc..but she is not done....Mechanically, solid as hell...SHE needs finished,,,don't buy her if you want a concourse car...buy her, if you want a damb dependable Porsche...Please remember..a few hours of paint, work, on each side, and a top, is all I would say this car needs.cosmetically, and the drier, and charge, on the ac.
One item, I had forgotten. The car was tow dollied backwards from Pa to Florida several monthes ago, and rather ruined the front tires...I don't drive her, so never replaced them..I also zeroed the odometer yesterday, and it stopped...I'll try to check it out today...hopefully I can get it squared..One item, I had forgotten. The car was tow dollied backwards from Pa to Florida, and rather ruined the front tires...I don't drive her, so never replaced them..I also zeroed the odometer yesterday, and it stopped...I'll try to check it out toda
Gathered all the spare's and goodies today...lots of new stuff, and some used goodies also....will place all in the trunk....found the stripe paint, also, Ill send it along to the buyer...If wanted I found all the original speakers in the store room...I would bet, any one who hears the quality of the polks...will leave them in...but Ill send them anyway.
I also have a fair amount of service history receipts, and will place them, with the owners manual, for your records..Timing belts, rollers, tensioners, water pump, etc, etc....I can be reached at 321/261/9631....

Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand
Wed, Jun 3 2020Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
