COLB, I appreciate the thoroughness of your response. If I were to sell, I wouldn't mind throwing some parts back on, but I'm really not looking to spend more to get more, even if it is sound advice (which it is). I'd be looking for a quick and painless sale. I don't know if I could bear the time bringing it back to 100% stock just to sell it. That would be agonizing psychologically.
I tried to be as transparent as possible about the car. I really expected the worst out of it, but the car never fought me and runs like it never skipped a beat. From 1980-1986, the car lived in Texas, then here in Atlanta for the remainder, so it is indeed a rust free example.
The paint was in fact applied by the factory, and I verified that this is a color-to-sample by calling Porsche of North America (located right here in Atlanta) and having them pull up the certificate of authenticity. She said it was a code 99. The code in the for jamb reads 281 however, still not matching any offering by Porsche for any year or model. I told her this and she stayed that not all code 99 cars read 99 on the door, especially the older models.
My uncle told me the odo worked up until storage, so I'm thinking I may have accidentally disconnected something during my inspection and disassembly. All I recall doing is resetting the trip meter.
