SOLD SOLD [edited to update info] Tangerine / BoodOrange paint over black interior, newer corbeau leather seats with air-lumbar (have original seats as well). 2.0L 6cyl engine, 4 spd, steel wheels, S-brakes, excellent interior / headliner / dash / doors / seats. Unmolested original condition. This is the perfect platform for a concours restoration project - all the original bits are there. Paint condition fair, needs some work as all cars of this era do. NEW clutch, needs shocks / struts, ....starts and runs strong. Recently and routinely driven. Some recent work includes: New clutch, new motor mounts, new alt belt, new points, new rotor, new spark plugs / wires, new voltage regulator, new fuel lines, new oil return lines, recent oil change, swepco in the trans. This car should be preserved, and wants an owner who is willing to put the effort in.
Per this site, fewer 'normals' were built than 911'S' - only 1600 were ever produced, and fewer than half that remain, and fewer still with 4 spds, and fewer yet with S-brakes from the factory!
further info: I've been all up and inside, under, and around the car looking for rust. There is some surface rust around the smuggler's box, and some surface rust around the driver's side fender - body seam (like an inch), and a bit where the steering tube goes thru the floor of the front trunk (about an inch long). there is a bubble on the driver's door inner sill the size of a quarter. The front pan has been replaced and it was done well. The floors do not appear rusty either from above or below. There are rust bubbles below the rear window corners, but I have not been able to find any rust up from the inside of the engine bay to the same location. I pulled the soundproofing off the firewall and was pleased to not find any rust. There is a spot near the passenger jack support as well.
engine condition is tight - compression test just done 7-13-09 and the numbers are 165-170 across the board
so, there is all the bad news. the good news is that she is unmolested, no one has chopped her up and done dopey stuff to her over the years. There was an aftermarket a/c that had been installed by the dealer when new, so there are some holes for the freon lines and I have removed the offending parts. But the interior is excellent, the guages all work, and the dash, doors, carpet, headliner, rear seats are all period correct and untouched, and in great condition. I have the orig front seats in storage, they need some seam stitching, but there are no tears or wear on them, but they are not very comfortable for my old and repaired back so I replaced them with some lovely corbeau leather seats. I can take those out and sell separately if they are of no interest for you.
She sits on 4.5 inch steelies, and I've sourced some decent hubcaps. I've replaced the rear turn signal assembly with the correct bits, and recently replaced the oil return lines, one of the tubes (the others had already been done), and the spark plugs + wires, voltage regulator, battery, fuse block, and fuel lines from the tank to the hard line thru the tunnel, and from the rear of the tunnel in the engine bay.
bottom line - I think it is fairly rare, I think it is a good candidate for a serious restoration project, and all the original bits are there. paint is so-so, body is straight and original without any issues. save a few minor dents collected over the years.
This is a very reluctant sale - I'm CEO of a startup company looking for cash, and this is an asset that may help to get our renewable energy company off the ground. Can I buy it back later??
