I need some guidance

Just doing some research it seems that all the suspension rubber will need replaced. Calipers and master cyl could also be toast.

And then the fuel system. If CIS needs serious work I would consider a set of PMO carbs. And SSI. And while we are in there...

It does have the pop off valve and updated chain tensioner. And a boatload of records. They drove it about 3k a year. Changed the oil in the spring and then in the fall when they stored it.

I have done lots of work on my old Mutangs (65 K code fastback being one) but at 62 I'll let others do the work.

Seriously think about Electronics Fuel Injection (EFI) if the CIS needs too much work. Many folks here have done it, seems like a better route than carbs these days.

If it is worth 35 I wouldn't feel bad about dropping 30 into it to get it closer to what I might want.

Thanks for all the replies.

its not worth $35 if its mint

Let us know the quote and update this thread if you do down the repair journey!

Will do. I am in no hurry. Figure out what I am doing and THEN go full speed ahead.

I won't call it mint but it has to be damn close after a good detailing.

Is that higher or lower than $35?

Targa top. Only wiped it down with water.

That does look like the original Targa Top since it looks like mine. I noticed the handles are missing, but they are hopefully in the glove compartment.
Your Fuchs look as though they were refurbished which is nice, and the driver's side has some aluminum pedals so this car was loved. Yeap, your entire emissions system was removed and they, PO, did update to the Pressure-fed tensioners. Engine bay looks to be in good shape, and that does look like a 930 steering wheel.

Good for you!

That car is easily worth twice, probably closer to 3x what you paid for it. Great score!!! Fix the studs and fuel system and drive it like you stole it! You won't regret it!!!

Here is a motor
1984 Porsche 911 1984 PORSCHE 911 Carrera 3.2 Engine Long Block

That car has several signs of being owned by a Porsche enthusiast at some point in its life. Maybe not the last PO, but at SOME point. Casual owners don't put in aftermarket pedals, a steering wheel and buy a second set of wheels. I think there is a decent chance this thing has had top end work done already.

I'd do a cold compression test. If that looks decent I'd change the oil, (don't top it off) drain the fuel tank add some fresh gas, put a battery on it and see what happens.

Even if it DOES need top end work, it was an awesome buy. Congrats.

If the engine's shot/requires a lot of $$$, consider transplanting in a later 3.2L (straightforward) or 3.6L (not as straightforward) engine --

I appreciate all the help and suggestions.

I will try to get it cleaned up this week and get some better pictures.

I live in Tulsa, you need to call Tom Charlesworth. He can get you going and knows his stuff you got a fantastic deal. Tom is also very reasonable and easy to deal with, he did my transmission for 1400, which is unheard of, that was with the engine drop. I bought the parts for the job and he did all the work, oh and he also put on my SSI and back dated my heat for that price.

Take it to him.

[Jdub]

If I were you I would follow through with your instincts and sell it on, preferably to someone on this BBS.

Good luck!
