The whole story:
1985 Porsche 911 Carrera. GP White, black interior, black top.
My brother bought it for the 3.2 and 915. He was going to part the car out but I talked him into selling it to me. It sat in my shop for a few years before I found a 3.2 donor and transmission in 2013. The donor engine had unknown miles. I was told it came from a low mile 85 that had been totaled but I have no documentation. The engine and trans were installed in the roller and it was put on the road!
In 2014 the car was repainted. It was not a bare metal job. The only rust on the car was on the passenger side fender down low near the rocker. The fender was replaced. I installed new carpeting, recovered the front seats (vinyl), new convertible top installed, all new weather seals installed except for the horizontal seals on the cab top and "new" dash was installed. I say "new" because it was as very good dash from a salvage vehicle.
Over the years I've done most of the suspension except for the spring plate bushings. Turbo tie rods were installed. Brake calipers were rebuilt and ceramic pads installed. The car came with braided brake lines. New ARP head studs were installed in 2015. The engine was inspected (case was not split) while apart for head studs. New RSR seals were installed, a full engine seal kit was installed. An AFR gauge with data logging was installed when the engine went back in.
The 915 recently (2019)received a refresh of 1/2. 3/4/5 were all in good condition. The engine and transmission mounts were replaced when the trans was installed (2021). The axle shafts were replaced when the engine went back in with the refreshed transmission. The DME was sent to Sal to have it inspected, performance tune installed and 28 pin chip conversion (it was an older DME)
I removed the central lock system but still have all the parts to bring it back to original. It would need new door handle micro switches to make it functional again.
I never installed the compressor for the A/C.... it's a cab... so I have no idea what works or doesn't work. I do know it needs a front condenser fan to be complete.
The title is labeled as
not actual mileage. The car showed 177,509 when the NAM branding occurred and last reported mileage was 226,428 (other than my brother putting 210,583 as mileage when he transferred the title to me). I'm not sure how much that matters with the work that has been done and the fact that the engine and transmission are not original to the car.
I have a binder I have done my best to keep up with that has receipts dating back to the original owner. The paint is in good shape yet but has some chips from driving it.
Why I'm going to sell: I don't drive the car enough. I don't have to sell it but I can't justify having it for no more than I drive it.
So what do you think it's worth? I'm planning to list it here in the for sale section. I'm not sure where else I'll list it yet.
