My first 911 is a 1986 Carrera. This is my new project. My uncle has owned this car since 1988 and on my visits to California I have driven it from San Diego to San Fran up the PCH. Also a very fast trip back on I5.
I have untold trips to LA and all around So Cal.
He recently decided not to drive anymore. He is 88 and has had a couple accidents. This cars left front fender was one vs a tree.
He gave me the car and said do as I like. I plan to address the few issues. But the car even eith 181k miles runs great and the engine has great compression and the trans has been replace in the last 50 k miles.
I also have a 02 Corvette roadster and a 1985 Fiero modified with prototype Pontiac parts. I bought it new and it has won top 5 at the largest Pontiac show in the world twice out of 650 plus cars twice.
I plan to keep them and I look forward to the learning curve on the 911.
I work in the racing parts industry and found a number of parts I can get via work so this will help.
This is a rust free car and it is very solid. Good bones to start with and not having anyting in it will let me do much and not fall in a hole.
Reliable should deliver it next week and the adventure begins.
