P-Kay Posted 28June, 2021 Report Share Posted 28June, 2021 Here goes......I’ve been the caretaker of this car for over 6 years now. The car is an Australian Delivered, all matching numbers car. It still wears its’ number plates when it took the trip south to Victoria from Scuderia Veloce Motors in NSW. From the pictures you can tell it is not quite the purist specimen. Approximately 3 owners ago (who was a panel beater) adorned it with those lovely metal hips and the poster wall black duco. It is by no means a show car and I would classify it as a ‘5 footer’, but she still turns heads! NOTE: There is visible rust by the back window (second pic). This has stayed the same during my ownership. I contemplated addressing this prior to advertising but decided not to as: - It does not bother me, so may not bother you? - best to know exactly what you are buying versus a lottery with other cars - don’t know about you, but I get nervous when I see fresh paint…. The speedo shows over 300K, however this is not the original speedo as it is from a 930. Therefore, I do not have a true indication of distance travelled. Don’t let that deter you as every suspension component has been attended to. It wears SuperPro bushes for the Shocker tops, Engine and gearbox mounts, Front sway bar bushes and Banana arms. The remaining suspension points are standard Prekom rubber with the shock absorbers being yellow koni sport adjustable along with rear turbo torsion bars to compliment the turbo look. Early in the ownership I fitted a factory short shift kit and replaced the rear shift coupler bushes. The factory seats and steering wheel will come with the car – both of which are in good condition. Finally, the engine: Approximately 10K ago it was fully disassembled and rebuilt with larger barrels and cams to give it a nice drum beat at idle. The larger pistons mean it is known as a 3.2 litre short-stroke. Big difference from when I first purchased the car!! This work was carried out by AutoArt in Preston. Now, I just change the oil every year and enjoy the smiles per miles – maybe you can too? 😉 Link to Car Sales --> https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1979-porsche-911-sc-manual/SSE-AD-7283408/?Cr=13 Mention Financial Membership on PFA and I will be more inclined to sharpen my pencil = Let’s start a conversation 😊 My journey with the car can be found in the below topic WOKA, luzzo, Naldz88 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondiscwb Posted 28June, 2021 Report Share Posted 28June, 2021 That looks fantastic! Must go really nicely with the SS kit. If I didn't already have my own bastard child wide-body (and Betty has a lot of stuff I plan to do to mine), I'd be on to this! Those seats look pretty good too - what are they? GLWS!

Stepo Posted 28June, 2021 Report Share Posted 28June, 2021 Honest car from an honest bloke, must be a hard decision to let go and I'm sure won't be sitting around for long at that price. Sat behind this girl on several weekend drives, looks great on the road with those wide hips and matching rubber, those lurking shouldn't waste time, GLWS @P-Kay P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Krix Posted 28June, 2021 Report Share Posted 28June, 2021 I normally say , yes , I have regrets , but to few to mention. However , the one thing haunting me still after nearly 20 years , is the sale of my 73 V12 E type . Never got over it . I could buy one now , but it would not be „ my „ car. Odd thing , not to mention another lot of cortina, Capri , Healy , escort , etc. But the V12 was the one. Even I’ll miss your car chasing me on those twisties. 🤕 P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilburforce Posted 28June, 2021 Report Share Posted 28June, 2021 I hope it's being replaced with something equally as good @P-Kay! I'll miss the matching ex-Petrol Blue wide-body. One of the first cars I drove with after purchasing mine - and those wheels/stance still look fantastic. Great car and very well priced - I can't imagine this will hang around for long. GLWS.

Dalai Posted 19August, 2021 Report Share Posted 19August, 2021 When ordering a Gelato, most people go for the double scoops. Still Gelato in the second scoop, but the different flavour is just as delicious! Those hips and stance plus performance to back it up.

P-Kay Posted 16September, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 16September, 2021 Off to NSW. It almost stayed in Melbourne. It was literally minutes apart from me accepting terms to another buyer. I didn't want to be 'that guy' who goes against his word! I am still in disbelief and shock to be perfectly honest. This car has really gotten under my skin!
