Black/tan '84 911 wide body near Boston

There is a non-factory example near Boston for sale. I had a PPI done at Autobahn Performance and they did not like it.

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for this, but it's something I would have liked to hear from a fellow forum dweller, and I no longer have an interest in the car.

Nice looking car (except the wheels).
What did they find wrong?

Bodywork was poorly done, car didn't drive straight, brake was dragging, slight shake at speed, lots of little bits not functioning, no sign of recent (proper) motor rebuild...

PPI was done at Autobahn Performance.

Good choice for PPI, those guys know their stuff.

The wheels would have tipped me off, but this is a great example of how a PPI saved you a huge headache.

Man, everyone hates the wheels. I would have eventually replaced them, but they don't bother me anywhere near as much as that front valance.
