Continental Orange coupe

Hi all,

I’ve been away for a while after going with a newer 997 for a few years. This past fall I picked up the car below;

It’s a late 77, with a transplanted 84 3.2, ssi’s, Dansk sport, front and rear antiroll bars and strut brace, oem sport seats, short shift, sc flairs, lowered to euro height

This winter I have few fun projects:

1. Convert to h4’s- done
2. Fix heat - done (just had to put fresh high temp hoses in and adjust
3. Figure out why the radio doesn’t work

I’ve put about 1000 miles on it before winter came along and it’s a fun little package. Super light, really strong 3.2, well dialed in suspension. Can’t wait for spring!

Exquisite color. The yellow (European) tail lights compliment the orange exterior nicely.

Looks like you have 16 inch Fuchs?

We’d all like to see some interior and engine pics too if you get the chance.

Thanks for sharing and nice acquisition!

Thanks for the kind words all. It’s been fun putting a few of the goodies I have stashed away on this one. Next up will be to swap the seats for a set of sc sport seats which I have but need to be recovered. I like the seats in the car but they don’t recline (I think they are from early to mid 70’s )

Your seats don't recline?! They look like SC sport seats.

I've become obsessed with the Porsche Oranges and some of the blue colors. I have no imagination...both my Carreras have been Guards Red...never again. Your car is stunning.
