Here is response
Sorry. I've been a bit busy. Selling multiple vehicles to clear my property. Yours was the first email about the Porsche so yours is the first answered. Vin is 9288200076. I have a clear Massachusetts title. I bought the car a few years ago to fix up for my daughter when she was to turn 16 and she changed her mind on it. I'm selling at a loss. I'll send pics in a minute.

No sunroof either? Any history on when this car last ran or the mileage?

I would love to have a non-sunroof car for more headroom.

No sunroof or rubstrips is not surprising. There weren't available at the time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that car looks to have the 15" pd's on it, my 78,#338, also had 15's . I thought all 5-speeds came with 16's. I know wheels can be changed out over the years ,could the cars have come from the factory with 5 speeds and 15's?

If I was back in the States, I'd be on it like... Petraeus on Broadwell.

My 78 has 16's and 5 spd, no rub or sunroof (but if I dint sand down the roof soon, it will get a natural one)... I would love to get this car, but timing is not good...


Shane...that is weird...sure looks like an antennae by the gas filler...WTF?

Sure looks like antenna, but not easy to imagine room for the mechanism in that area.

Title says it all. Parked 5 years. First with cash gets it.

Looks just like the one I just got. Mine didn't have a passenger mirror from factory. The early ones are easy to build upgrade axles for/swaps too.
