This is a zero rust two owner California car. After factory warrantee expired Pete Zimmerman of Red Line Service handled maintenance on the car. After Pete sold the shop to Marc Bixen, Marc took over. I have copies of all Red Line invoices. A few highlights.

Thermal reactors removed
28 tube/brass OEM fender mounted cooler

Body was repainted, SC steel flares added with windows out and all new rubber in 2002. Paint is in good shape. No dents or dings. Leather high back seats have no rips or tears. No cracks in dash. New door check straps were added after I bought the car in April 2013.

All service is complete and up to date since. RED LINE Major service (136,000 miles) performed; oil and filter (20/50 VR1), valve adjustment, brake fluid flush and refill, new trans fluid and fuel filter. Car runs strong, idles great and pulls strong to red line. Transmission has a small nibble in up shift to 3rd but only if you rush it. Small pause in between gears and its smooth as a new 915 gear box can be. Four wheel alignment and Euro ride height done by West End Gardena CA at 136,000. Replaced (rebuilt Bosch) original Fuel Pump at 137,000 along with new cap, points, rotor, plug wires, fuel relay and oil temp switch.

Targa top is in good shape. It does have a small patch two inch square back right side. Two handles for top.
Tools, jack, pump and spare included.

24,500

Looks nice, but what a shame with the ad on flares.

Yes. Prior owner loved the car. An attorney with a lot of money. He decided to update the car rather than buy an SC. They are factory, correctly installed but I get it.

It would be a shame if it was a 1972 911S!

Or even a mid-year coupe.

Cool car!

That's one clean car. A 1976 is still a desirable mid-year. Not as much as a '74 or '75 but still a nice car at the end of the day. So many were beat and abused. It's refreshing to see someone took pride in ownership. A bargain for what I've seen mid-years go for.
