I know people on this board are always looking for motronic 911's. This ad is currently in the local paper. I don't know the seller and am not looking to buy the car, just an FYI.

Billy Bubba, $8,500 for a Carrera? Did it come with an engine?

A slow night guys huh? Lets see, this car was too good to lose while I waited for a PPI. Called the owner yesterday and saw it this morning. No records, except for the last 40k. High mileage (~210K), clean, western states car, came here from Idaho. Black with tired gray leather interior. 6 &7 16 polished Fuchs. Minor rust spots on windshield seal and front valence. Easy startup --no oil puff, clean engine but with some drips, top compartment good shape. Front tranny seal weaping. Automatic heat. AC dysfunctional. Tranny apparently had been rebuilt as it shifted great--but the throwout bearing whirling. Brakes good but tires needed. Brass tube oil cooler. Pat Moyle did a PPI for seller three years ago, reasonable leakdown numbers and classic 911 electrical issues (foglights etc). Nothing I can not deal with. I pulled the right side wheels and checked wheel # and for Fuch stamps.

It will be my (soon-to-be) wife's daily driver and DE car. She said it was better than a rock! She is happy and I am happy. Nice seller and I did not dicker with him, gave a $1K deposit and tomorrow we seal the deal at his credit union.

Why does it have a brass tube cooler?

Are you saying that it has the traditional trombone style front cooling tube. IF so, those were not part of the package from 1984 on.

Carrera's had a radiator style oil cooler fitted up front.

Euro model probably...

[zotman72]

It is not an Euro car, the VIN is US. It has one of those 24 or so odd brass tubes type cooler up front in the fender. I know what a regular (later carrera cooler) is as I have one on my '72. HTH

Bill-seems like with a few bucks over time you and your wife will have a nice driver, even if you end up needing a rebuild in a while you will still be in for reasonable $$. Post some photos.
