@fj45truck Thanks for your additional message on this topic but we were very clear on this in the previous post. If this means you will not be bidding, I certainly understand. Thanks for checking in and for your interest.
@ Nikojo I can promise you we are not withholding any additional information. If we had anything else to mentioned we would. I understand if you do not feel comfortable bidding, thanks for checking out the auction.
@Nikojo Below is the information we have on the original car and the build. We are selling this for a good client of ours that had this built as a rally car. Our client hired Keith from Ennis Motorsports to oversee the build.
I am very pleased to be associated with this Porsche. The owner is a client and a friend. He hired me to manage this build from start to finish. We developed a plan and budget. He and his wife picked the colors. For the most part, he relied on me for everything else. I chose Automobile Associates to do the build as they have the experience and do everything in house and I know Scott. They are also a vintage Porsche race shop, which I like as that means they are problem solvers. Scott and I worked closely together and I visited the shop several times during the build to document it and to also make sure the details were right. Scott and his team are fantastic and I enjoy working with them.
The donor belonged to a very good friend of mine in New Hampshire. I knew the car for a number of years. It was a very straight and mostly original paint 1977 911S Coupe. Scott also knew the car as his shop maintained it. The motor had been previously rebuilt and is super strong. It was built to a 3.2 race spec. While I cannot prove it, it is stronger than 3.2. I have driven on road and track lots of air cooled 911’s and can tell when something has been breathed on. No doubt that this is a strong motor.
Upon completion of the build, the car was shipped to me in Jupiter, Florida where I put the first 500 miles on the car. There were a couple very minor items, all of which I addressed with Scott’s consultation. My sons and I did a couple videos of the car and also a video specifically for the owner. I also put together the book that documents the build.
The owner opted to not have a/c installed, but electric air conditioning could easily be added to the car. What I love about this 911 is that it has the right look, great motor, and so many good details. Yet it is comfortable and will not beat you up on long drives or tours. I have done Ramshorn three times, including the one that just concluded last week. This is an ideal car for that event or many others. I hope the new owner drives the car and that I see it out on the road!
@fj45truck If you are in Arizona, you will pay Arizona sales tax. If you are in another state and come in and drive it off the lot, then we collect Arizona sales tax. If you ship the vehicle with a license and bonded shipper then we will not collect sales tax, you will pay that when you register it in your state.
@EuroZ06 Photo 223 is a photo of the backseats striped to metal. You could probably add the rear seats back, but the roll bar would have to come out based on how it is mounted. This car does not have AC.
@EuroZ06 We do not have any backseats and everything we have is listed here in this listing. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
@Andersenrandy Heat works great, especially right now here in Scottsdale! You are correct, this would be a great candidate for an electric AC system. I am not sure about the seats, but I do know that they are extremely comfortable. Our client had this car commissioned for rallies and has done the Ramshorn Rally. This has been a very good car for him and it's been a proven quality rally car that could win most car shows.
