It's got a chin spoiler, never mind that it's not correct for a '74 Carrera. I wonder where the outer sunroof seal is; is it with Waldo? Can you find it? Maybe it's with the bolt that didn't find its way back into the lower hinge for the right door. I like the wide wheels, too bad the car had to be raised two inches for the tires to clear. But, Douglas, best of all, are the color-matched motor mounts!

Good grief!

Lack of A/C may be an issue for some buyers. If you have the parts, why not put them on and charge it up? Better to say "A/C blows cold" than "A/C parts inlcuded".

That's certainly something to consider, but because such an amazingly small percentage of SC owners care about A/C I figured that, rather than add the cost of fixing the A/C to the price of the car, that I'd leave that option for the new owner to decide.

Evan with the A/C hooked up and charged, truth in advertising would be compramised by "blows cold". Everybody knows a/c in these cars don't blow, but suck. I would'nt put a lot of credance in a/c on a pre '90s 911. Evan then they are marginal. A car like this will go to a descriminating buyer and a/c would be a consecion. I wish I were in the market for an SC - I would get a oneway ticket to Cali. and take two weeks getting home with the windows down.

Better wait another month - you might have problems with icicles along the way!

Seriously, my thoughts about SC A/C parallel yours, there is just no point in having it, it's a really expensive system, and in most parts of the country it just won't keep up during summer use.
