Compression 185-195 across all 6, approximately 10,000 miles on rebuilt engine Added Carrera hydraulic tensionsers ~2 years ago 40IDA3C Weber Carbs Crane ignition New Bosch alternator ~3 years ago New 914-6 throttle cable New fuel sender Cosmetic: Non-stock metallic blue over original Olympic blue, from the late 90s. Repro polished stainless steel early-style bumpers, undrilled front bumper, new factory chromed fog grills New bumper tops GT style engine deck lid Center reflector insert Rebuilt fog lamps with new OEM yellow Hella covers Fresh wiper arms and nuts Hell hole is solid, as is the rest of the car Interior: Remanufactured dash top with ashtray delete German loop carpet in cinnamon Brown vinyl interior 9/10 Restored gauges + custom 4 gauge (oil, temp, volts, fuel) Momo prototipo steering wheel + offset spacer for more leg room New Blaupunkt radio with bluetooth 6" round Blaupunkt speaker pods 8" fiberglass subwoofer in passenger footrest location New aluminum door sills New carpets and CoCo mats Lots of fresh gaskets and other bits Others: Brakes - replated & rebuilt rear calipers, rebuilt front calipers and new MC Bilstein HD shocks + Ground Control coilovers 15x7" replica 914-6 GT wheels from Group 4 Wheels (http://group4wheels.com/wheels_pag1570.php) under slightly rolled fenders, 205-55 Toyo tires Optima Redtop AGM battery (new) New shift bushings Stuff to do: Oil leaks - no more than usual for 2.7L Fresh air blower doesn't work - don't really miss it either Rust bubbles from bad windshield install (see pictures) - surface rust only, metal is solid Rust bubble on right rear fender lip (see picture) If you look closely, minor body work needed on inside left front wheel well to make perfect (see picture). Body is perfectly straight with paperwork from Custom Alignment (suspension specialists) in Mountain View, CA. Jackpoints should be ground off and replaced Tach bounces sometimes when you have the turn signal on? No front spare tire (picture of tire in front trunk outdated) I'm selling because I need a daily commuter but Bay Area traffic is horrendous and an air-cooled car needs moving air to cool it. I bought in September 2017 and have put about $4,000 in sorting out little issues like full tune up, sticky throttle cable, frozen fuel sender, worn out shift bushings, etc. It now runs as well as you can expect a 45 year old car, but the 1st gear synchro will need replacing in a year or two. Any questions about the car, please feel free to contact my Porsche mechanic, Bill Eason, of Eason Auto Works: http://www.easonauto.com/ or (510) 420-126. |
