Please note that you have a Carrera tail, not a whale tail, which is correct for the car. Also, your headlights were upgraded at some point as the original ones had a thick band that surrounds the headlights (some refer to the originals as foreskin). Your car looks great! Do you have the maintenance records from the previous owner(s)? With over 100k miles your 3.2l car is unique to not have required a top end by this point, nor any synchro work especially given you have a short shifter. You may want to post this on PelicanParts as well.

Regards,
David

I would not agree about the top end on a 3.2. I purchased an unmolested 3.2l engine with approx. 160K miles from a Dorki and it was smooth, strong, and problem-free until I sold the car with that engine about 1-1/2 years later. Thanks again to the seller for a great deal and lots of good advice over the years!

I thought a Carrera tail = whale tail. Turbo tail = tea table tail. Carrera RS tail = Duck tail.
