Coastr Posted 22January, 2014 Report Share Posted 22January, 2014 There doesn't seem to be anything obvious that would suggest it isn't genuine. I'd ask why the Carerra badge is missing. Aesthetics, badged, or because of a respray. Linen coloured interior in an Aus delivered car seems to be very rare. I don't think I've ever seen it before. Seen plenty from the UK though in linen. Could have been special order though. I'm pretty sure those gills were a "special wishes" option also. Not my taste that's for sure. I think this car caters to a very small market though. You'd be paying a $15-20k premium just for those low kms. And you're edging into 930 and 993 territory. Just my opinion though which doesn't mean you shouldn't be interested. Particularly if you're looking for a concourse condition car as they don't come up for sale very often. I have seen 'special wishes' cars with the vents on US sites. The vents are from the flat-nose Porsches and seem to have been the rage in the Testarossa era. I would say the entire car is a special order and nothing in the ad makes me think that it is anything but what it says it is. I really like it, funny vents and all. $73k will likely be a bridge too far for many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 24January, 2014 Report Share Posted 24January, 2014 Its been posted before, but I'm in love with this right now - not sure about the estimated price range tho. Especially if that 'oil leak' needs engine work or something... but wow it makes me heart go pitter patter ... all the way to the garage where I'd be sleeping if I was to purchase this vehicle! oh dear... the color, cookie cutters, houndstooth seat inserts (not a Targa but who cares)!!

michel Posted 25January, 2014 Report Share Posted 25January, 2014 i know Andre who owns the sporto in QLD - was an ex canberra car till approx 12 months ago. He's been straightforward and the car is not as 'dire' as his straightforward description. Needs work price reflects it. But is a driver , great colour and cool that the sporto remains. Btw i have no interest in the sale withers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a cheap 964 if you want a Cab and don't mind the C4 part too. Nice color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw i have no interest in the sale I'm thinking of having a look at the Sporto tomorrow. However, after a quick chat with Andre, I get the impression it needs the heads off... somehow, I don't think it is just a "tune"... if it was, surely he would get that done?? Only spoke to him for a couple of minutes but if the weather is good, I'm on my way.... Aren't these the models known for pulling head studs due to running hotter to meet emmissions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 25January, 2014 Report Share Posted 25January, 2014 I think they pull head studs because of the difference of material between the heads and case. The 2.7/2.8 is about the limit of a magnesium case. The emissions stuff normally means a 5 blade fan and EGR pump I think (and the 'Australian delivered' standard is having the 11 blade fan) If you're taking the heads off a 2.7 count on rebuilding it. The head studs and heads themselves are best left alone, they're going to leak oil though. if it's only got CIS issues there was a full CIS setup on ebay last week for $400, and it could just be all the Bakelite seals which means loss of pressure (which makes CIS not work properly) and poor idle. Could also be the fuel distributor but it's about $600 to get one rebuilt. Injectors are easy to find too (I think I might have a few spare) Interesting that in the photo the temperature gauge is at extreme levels and the red light is on! It seems to be running (1100 rpm with decent oil pressure for idle) It might be a temp sender issue (as the temp sender for a sportomatic is on the gearbox and as the torque converter never fully locks up it's always going to be hot - I moved mine from the gearbox back to the original spot on the engine for that reason) but mine personally never got that high even idling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 28January, 2014 Report Share Posted 28January, 2014 the rust on the oil return tubes and engine crossmember is enough to put anyone off though - been driven on salted roads I wonder My thoughts also ; where does a ground up resto actually start? It's a US car no doubt and I'd put money on rust in the body somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 28January, 2014 Report Share Posted 28January, 2014 by the description it seems like the ground up resto was the bodywork.. guess they took the engine out to paint the car, and then plonked it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
