This 911 looks extremely nice considering age and miles.  The paint has a nice shine to it and the majority is still original.  The left front fender has had some paint work from many years ago.  It appears to be superficial with no signs of damage.  There very few chips on the car or any other significant blemishes.  The Maxilite  reproduction Fuchs in the correct factory size with original factory center caps have recently been installed. Brand new Yokohama tires in the correct factory sizes. The glass is all original, including the windshield which has some heavy pitting with a few minor cracks that have been professionally filled in the past.  The glass is wearing  the proper factory stamps. Brand new convertible top is in excellent condition with hardly  any signs of use.  The fog lights and headlights have protective plastic installed.  The convertible top is manual (NON-ELECTRIC from factory)

The interior is even nicer and is more in line with a 50k mile example.  The leather seats have no excessive wear on the exit bolster and naturally, the rear seats look near new.  The headliner on the soft top is also new.  The door panels are in excellent condition and have no major warping of the door pockets that’s so common with this era/miles 911.  The dash is in good shape with a few very slight hairline cracks on top of the gauge cluster.  The steering wheel has been upgraded to a factory 930S leather wrapped one in excellent condition.  All the gauges work properly.  The soft top is a factory ordered manual one, which is extremely rare and much easier to easy to use.  The power windows and mirrors both work great.  The period-correct Alpine tape deck does work.  The A/C blows reasonably cold.

This Turbo-Look cab drives tight.  There are no excessive rattles or squeaks.  The motor fires up on the first try and holds an even idle.  The throttle response is excellent.  The G50 transmission shifts easily with no grinding or slipping.  The brakes have a good initial bite with no fading.  The handling is crisp with excellent turn in as well as it tracks straight.

It comes with 1 set of keys, 3 wheel locks with key, recent service history as well as some receipts from the past, original window sticker, owner’s manuals, maintenance book with cover, tool kit, jack, air compressor, and space saver spare.
