Sugar Baby.

Well, after having started to work on a SC and having sold it before the end of the work, having sought anoter SC without joy, and still having in mind my 1968 project.....I had yesterday a crush for a 2.7 1975 (1976 model) light ivory. It is a very nice car to drive.
I know this is not an early, but everything smells good old time in the cockpit.
I have very little background of it, few invoices and having been with the previous owner for 4 years. No more information.
It has been repainted 3 times already, and there is no visible repairs. The interior is mostly original, 2 switches has been added, the seats are Turbo ones and the sterring wheels is now a new Momo Prototipo.
Full chrome triming, opening quarter windows, deep fuchs (r) 6x15.
Manual window mecanism.
The driver external mirror have been replaced by a chrome 1973.
There are few dings and dents, and very few rust points which can be easily fixed.
The engine is not the original 2.7 (not a big thing) and is replaced by a SC 3.0L 180cv associated with a 915 gearbox coming along with the engine. It runs and revs great, as well as the clutch and gears. However a complete rebuilt will be done to improve the horsepower and revs.

The "tricky" part is the suspension/steering/breaks which need to be fully replaced/rebuilt. Not a big thing, but it takes quite a time to make it properly.

The aim is not to make a concourse car (some will say : it is a 2.7, do not spend your money of that uggly thing) but a very nice club sport car as I like to make.

I have always liked the narrow body g series, as this is a transition car between 2 periods of the 911, not a early, not a wide body. I like the full chrome triming, the old dashboard, the opening quarter windows, etc...

I will drive it back home (550kms) oct. 2nd.

Stay tuned, if you subcribe.

Looks like something you can fun in and not worry.

Bright window frames and wheels make me want to silver the engine grill and backdate the rear end ;-)
