Green Horn questions
Hello,
Total newbie here to both forums and this one which I am learning alot from. Here is my question. I have the opportunity to buy a 1977 911 with less than 33,000 miles, thats right 33,000 miles with one owner. Completely original. The car is in NC and I am planning on bringing this car to WY in the next few months. My questions are: can I take off the emissions system? At least all the stuff I will not need in Wyo as we do not have to have an annual vehicle inspection? Where is a good mechanic in Wyoming? I don't plan on driving this too often as it will be a weekend car for myself. I would like to keep this car as orginal as possible but what should I do to the engine if anything? I read that these engines were not the best years. I check my computer daily at night so I will see if there are any replies tomorrow. Thank you your thoughts, Kind regards, Reid |

Price? Condition? Paperwork history to back up the low miles? How many owners? Complete professional Porsche inspection?
Consider buying a SC or Carrera? SMOG stuff? I'm not sure in your state. Steve 73 911 T MFI Coupe, Aubergine |

Thank you Steve for your thoughts. I should be a bit clearer on the car. The car is a friends and I was with him when he bought the car from a "dealer"-the original owner of the car in 1991. So my friend is on paper the first owner of the car as the tittle was a dealer tittle prior to my friend buying the car. My friend has keep the car factory and may have done more damage to the car because he never drives it. I have driven the car numerous time over the past 20 years and it is in great shape and run well. but not being an experienced Porsche person, I just don't have the knowledge.
I know the year is not the best due to the engine and I'm sure a few other things. but I'm damn near stealing the car for under $7,000.00. I'm assuming I'm stealing it. So I'm interested in trying to extend the life of the engine. And anything I can do to do this legally I would be game for. I know I will drop another engine in it down the road at some point but for now what can I do? I understand that the emissions/ smog systems bring alot of heat to the engine so I'd like to pull/bypass as must as that stuff as possible. Any thoughts on this or anything else I should do. And I will for sure get it inspected by a Porsche mechanic. Thanks again, Reid |
