The great thing about Porsche 911s (welland#44; other than the fact that theyre Porsche 911s) is that they design has remained consistent. Perhaps only its spiritual cousinand#44; the VW Beetleand#44; is more familiar to the world. That also means that this 1977 Porsche 911 equipped with some clever 933 additionsand#44; looks far more up-to-date than any other car built in 1977and#44; giving you an A-list ride at a very reasonable price. The bright Honey Hollow Metallic Yellow coupe wouldnt look out of place in a modern Porsche showroom thanks to a skillful blending of aftermarket parts and an OEM sensibility. For the most partand#44; everything bolts right onand#44; so this car hasnt had any major surgeryand#44; although the flared rear fenders and cool vented rockers are beautifully installed. Its a 993 wide body kit from Germanyand#44; so the quality is impressive and it certainly does give the car a modern flavor that looks fast just sitting still. The work was done about 10 years agoand#44; so theres some wear and use on itand#44; but thats no demerit because it proves that this car works as intended. Late-model 993 headlights give it an up-to-date appearanceand#44; as do the taillights and Turbo-style wing on the back. The black trim not only looks awesome against the yellow paintand#44; but its also in great shape with no signs of UV damage or fading. If you want attentionand#44; this car delivers in a very bigand#44; yellow 911 way. Porsche interiors rarely need upgradesand#44; but this one was neatly dressed in two-tone black and yellow leatherand#44; just to tie it together with the exterior look. Those are stock seats with yellow insertsand#44; and custom door panels were created to make it look almost OEM. A wood-rimmed wheel wears a correct Porsche horn button and polished aluminum rings around the familiar 911 gauges really dress things up inside. Theres more aluminum on the shifterand#44; which is linked to a 5-speed manual transmission with perfectly-spaced ratios; if theres one thing Porsche engineers know how to doand#44; its how to make a car dance with you. A newer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit and oversized speakers in back provide entertainment when the howling flat-6 just isnt enoughand#44; and theres a power sunroof overhead. The forward trunk area is neatly trimmed in black carpet and includes a shock tower braceand#44; which makes a difference you can really feel. The 2.7 liter air-cooled flat-6 engine has modest specsand#44; but in this carand#44; it delivers herculean performance. Fully rebuilt by the prosand#44; its ready to enjoy and provides both the wonderful soundtrack and the low-end torque that Porsche fans have come to expect from their favorite powerplant. Its really packed in thereand#44; so there isnt much to see beyond the big fan in back and air cleaner assembly up topand#44; but what you can see is almost entirely stock. Unlike so many of its siblingsand#44; this one hasnt been extensively modified or upgradedand#44; so it remains one of the most reliable supercars you can own. The 5-speed manual transmission was also rebuiltand#44; and the car completed a full professional inspection right before it arrived in our showroomand#44; so its ready to enjoy right away. Obviouslyand#44; nobody drives a 911 in the winter weatherand#44; so the underside is extremely clean and it wears a newer exhaust system that sounds right. Chrome alloys look awesome with the yellow bodywork slammed down over them and theyre carrying 18-inch performance radials. Nicely builtand#44; well-sortedand#44; and with plenty of paperwork behind itand#44; this 911 is the car that more than delivers on the performance that its looks seem to promise. Call today! |
