I saw this car at the Porsche of Tysons 991 unveiling event. It's a clean car with a nice interior. There are a few oddities, but nothing that a few hours and a few dollars couldn't remedy. Previous ebay listing was a buy it now for ~ $80K. That may give you a feel for the reserve.
Does anyone know anything about this car? Seems to have a fairly complete history.

p.s. goes without saying, but not my car.
"Near salt free" Northern Virginia? Except in winter, in my experience.
Reminds me of when they closed I-81 in Northern VA a couple years ago the weekend before Christmas, stranding my family in a motel for a couple days while we waited for the salt trucks to do their job.Quote:

nice job on the floor patch.... I'm sure it is difficult to spot at night. :eek:
Looks a lot like ossi blue to me.
These days with Ossi blue only used for two years, are there any Factory Ossi cars left around to compare? unlikely. Not many of us know what Ossi blue should look like. Early Gulf blue has the same problem. Ossi looks like gulf blue and visa versa. chris
oscillon (or DanM) - out of curiosity, what did you notice was off when you saw the car in person?Quote:

Incorrect paint on the fan strap. Neither restored or original looking air cleaner paint. Carpet could be installed better at the a-pillar. Painted horn button ring (should be chrome). Odd shift boot. I think the bumper guards are cheap repops, but I could be wrong. shut lines around the tops of the doors are bit big. I think the badge is a new repop.Quote:

It seems to be one of those cars that is in between being restored and being original. I would say it's a good driver that should certainly be driven (a lot).
Overall, I think it's a much nicer car than mine, and I would love to own it.

I have to call BS here. We've used worse than salt in VA.

Thus the reason for the floor pan replacement.
