Since the acquisition, the following has been performed from 2021-2022: replaced fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel regulator, spark plugs, air filter, installed new factory exhaust including heat exchangers, new Pirelli CN36 tires, full brake service, and the Fuch alloy wheels have been restored. Most recently on September 2022, Vision Motorsports was commissioned to perform the following, rebuild the fuel distributor, rebuild the warm-up regulator, flush fuel lines, replace fan belts, oil service, brake fluid flush, transmission fluid flush, and install hot air hoses. The lower valve covers were upgraded to the Turbo valve covers, the valves were adjusted, and new gaskets were installed. A full engine service included replacing ignition points, distributor cap, rotor, set the timing/dwell, and tuned the CIS injection.
Paint meter readings confirm that the paintwork is all original and displays some patina for a 911 of this vintage. The exterior features Carrera script delete, original glass, integrated fog lights, and a Targa top with a tight seal. The upholstery is in original condition with new carpets and headliner that has been recently installed. Interior options include factory Recaro sport seats, air conditioning, and a FM/AM cassette tape player. An original leather-wrapped Carrera steering wheel sits in front of VDO instrumentation with a 150-mph speedometer and a 8000-rpm tachometer. The undercarriage remains all original with no signs of any rust. Staggered, refinished, Fuchs wheels with black center caps are fitted to Pirelli Cinturato CN36 185 70 R15 fronts and 215 60 R15 rears tires.
Powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, rated at 175 horsepower with 167 lb-ft of torque with a 5-speed manual transmission (Type 915) and four-wheel disc brakes. Complete with original owner’s manual/maintenance record booklet, tool kit, collapsible spare tire, registration cards going back to 1978, and recent service history.
