$30,000 in Service Records shows an exceptionally tasteful restoration which has not only included a bare metal repaint, but a complete engine out and shifter and transmission rebuild. Original 1970 Fuchs have been refinished, complete with new Pirelli P 6000 tires, turbo tie rods, and alignment.
All new gaskets and seals, chain tensioners, fuel hoses, ignition control, rotors, plug wires, and a complete fuel tank flush and clean. New Synchro teeth and rings for 1st and 2nd gear and a new clutch disk. Work was completed by Gold Meister Porsche Shop. Stoddards materials were used for new Porsche outer rockers and door skins. New Italian lenses.
This is an extremely rare color for this 1971. I have only seen 2 in my life and our family has collected Porsche vehicles for over 30 years. Impeccable paint, completely straight body, no rust at all. Car runs extremely smooth and clean. This is coming out of a Porsche Collection with over 30 cars and it had been garaged in an air conditioned atmosphere.
This car is a museum quality Porsche that still runs and shifts like a daily driver. No rock chips, no cracked glass and a clean undercarriage. I have many photos from different events I have attended and have many more. I can send more pictures if you would like.
This car comes with the option for back window replacement if needed. Window is in perfect shape and wrapped up separately. Original tool kit, owners manuals, 2 keys and a stack of receipts with all work done on the car. COA also present with letter from Porsche Cars of North America stating it's authenticity. This car is a great collector air cooled Porsche. For those who know your air cooled cars, this one is not one you can find anywhere. Car is not misrepresented in any way. Feel free to ask any questions you would like. I have added as many pictures as allowed but the pictures do not do this car any justice. It's much more beautiful in person.
