bought a 1976 911s... it was sight unseen, and its green

[mrrolleyes]

long story short...

found this 1976 911s online as expected and bought it. i admit that i was impatient and wanting to get a car in the garage, and i did it. yes i am idiot but it does have papers and it was actually serviced locally years ago.

well that part is over so onto the action.

it wasn't as good as i expected nor as accurate as the seller described but i drove it all weekend and it kept going and going. a short list of things do not work and or operate properly, it runs a tad warm from what i have read, and some minor adjusting here and there is needed.

but it fires right up. tracks dead straight, loves to rev out and the brakes are awesome. the road feedback is amazing and i couldn't not drive it all weekend.

it goes in the shop Wednesday for inspection and a once over and that will be nothing short of exciting im sure.

so stay tuned and lets see what happens.


on to the pictures. sorry they are terrible

I bid on this car and tried to buy it..its a beauty! i love the stance too! you bought it for a pretty good deal, i was trying to get it for $26k a bit low so seller would'nt go for it

i was not the high bidder, but he he missed and exaggerated a few things, it has its goods and bads but so far so good.

Ice green looks great and the black wheels and stance make it sit just right. Nice buy!

Welcome to the 911 madness. That's a good looking car you got. Get a good set of CIS pressure gauge kit and it will save you a bundle.

Great colour. Welcome to the air cooled world.

As we say in Australia - sex on wheels. WELL DONE

This is a great looking car, midyears look great with black wheels to my eyeballs and i absolutely love Ice Green Met. Enjoy!

Great color and stance. Have fun with it!

At least you can drive it. Every Porsche I ever bought since I was 15 (and that's been 32 years worth of 356s, 924s, 911s, 914s and the like) never ran. I never bought a running car to think of it.

Enjoy it - a midyear in that kind of condition is and will always be a special thing.

Welcome! What a great car! Love the black cookies / stance as others have said. What size and brand tires are they?

[Targalid]

Nice looking car! If you need any help with it, we are here to assist. Post more pics: engine and underneath.

I owned a '76 Ice Green Met coupe many years ago! Congrats on the purchase!

Congrats-I think that the 76-77 cars are the sweet spot; they are galvanized, and they have the cleaner lines of the earlier cars.
