Offering here first and then in Pano.
White with black leatherette sunroof coupe. $19,000 OBO.
The car was recently mechanically restored and can be driven anywhere. Epitome of a driver, the paint and interior reflect the previous owner’s attempt at a restoration and are in decent - good condition. Door pockets are shot but the rest of the interior is all there and the elec s/r works fine. PO tried his hand at a restoration and did a new dash, seats, etc. Purists will note the ’73 shift lever and knob and wood-rimmed Personal steering wheel are not ’72 items but the former makes sense, given the outrageous mechanically-injected RS motor it’s now connected to. Original instrumentation--the Kph speedometer was replaced by PO but I have it and boxes of parts that all go with it.
I lovingly spent over $23,000 last summer to mechanically restore this car including the following:
Body: straight, rust-free sunroof coupe body
- Front half pan professionally installed, sealed and painted
Gas tank re-sealed and painted
Rear firewall panel under rear window replaced; another common but usually ignored rust area on early 911s
Original steel S bumper with correct ’72 chrome bumper guards
Older (early 90’s) white repaint has some orange peel. A decent “20 footer” overall. Small dent in LR Qtr panel.
All trim was sanded and blacked out by PO.
Engine: very high quality rebuild by a long-time early 911 mechanic and finished last fall including:
- Late 2.7 7R magnesium case with all oil updates (still have the orig case)
re-plated Nicasil 2.7 barrels
new 9.7:1 90mm JR pistons
SC oil pump and custom aeroquip oil feed hoses to original ’72 oil tank. Modifications made for front-mounted oil cooler.
