Where can I find a rubber lip for 1977 Carrera 3.0 Whale tail?

[oly]

I don't see them on the Pelican site or in the Performance Products catalog. Does anybody have any suggestions for where I can buy one and how much they cost?

I have a whale tail that is all rubber from my 911 SC that I am selling.

I have a whale tail that is all rubber from my 911 SC that I am selling. Is that the one you are looking for?

[Bill Verburg]

The part you want is the p/u lip 911.512.19.00

all of the aftermarket copies also used that part

Brian 162,

I don't know if the rubber is the same between these models.

I'll check with Bill and Noah below.

Bill & Noah,

Do you know if the p/u lip 911.512.19.00 is original for both the C3 and the SC? How much do used ones go for?

I haven't bought the green C3 yet. The owner fixed the brakes and I made him an offer for quite a bit less than his asking price. He plans to let me know what his decision is by next weekend. And, assuming that he agrees, I've scheduled compression and leak down tests. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Oly;

That is the correct part number for the rubber lip that attaches to the steel/fiberglass tail on the Carrera 3. The tails that were available for the 911SC were the all-rubber one that Brian 162 is wanting to sell, which was used up to 1980, and the 3.3 turbo style tail used from 1981-on. Neither of them used that same lip. The exception (isn't there always an exception, when talking about Porsche?) would be the 1980 Weissach edition cars, which used the same tail as the Carrera 3.

So are the only cars that used the P/N 911.512.19.00 lip the Carrera 3.0s and the 1980 Weissachs?

I'm asking because the Carrera 2.7 lips look very similar, but I only have one picture of each.

Oly;

There was only one rubber lip that looked like the one you are asking about. It was used on all the cars that had that style of tail, including the 75-77 turbos.

Thanks for the education everybody!

Noah,

I've seen Rick's Carrera here and on eBay, it looks VERY nice. I've been thinking that I'd stop by and see it. But I'm afraid that it would be so nice that I would have to buy it! Then I would not have a sunroof delete. Just kidding. Kind of...

I hope that the bidding gets going on it; the last time I checked it was at only at about $7k. I'm sure things will change over this weekend though.
