I am in N.KY. I am selling it because I don't fit in it.I wanted a car to do DE's with, and I always wanted a 911, I fell into this one, had it checked out, arrived at a price and that was that. I will have to stick to my Mustangs for DE's. The car is mechanically awesome and loves to be driven. I got it from the guy who had it for the last 9 years, and am in full contact with him. Nothing to hide on this car.

well, I'm a bit far from you, but if the car is as good as you suggest, $13.5 is about $5-6k under the market, even this one. You should have no trouble turning it over at that price.

I know this is off track, but how can you not fit in a 911? I've seen folks of ALL sizes fit in a 911. I didn't fit at all in my Mom's mustang but have had plenty of room in my 911 and 914.

x2 for sounding like a good car.. post some pics and share!

I'm 6'3" and don't really fit in my '85 that well, but '85s also had uniquely high seats (first year of newer-style seat - on '86 and after, the seat rails are a little lower).

However, a steering wheel change (lots of dish) and greater recline has made it a bare fit. I can see that some would not fit - especially those long of torso.

Back on topic: The description of the car is great. Lots of the "right" kind of work has been done. That price sounds really, really good.

Best of luck with the sale.

I am 6', I do have a long torso. My head hits the roof with a helmet on, I thought I could live with it, but I can't. Leg room is good, but my legs spill over the sides of the seat. I have exactly what I am asking in the car. I got it a t a good deal, which is why I jumped into it to begin with. From all I read on the forums, it seemed like a nice one.
The car had a new clutch at 90K, new alternator, some various switches and seals, tuneup, etc. I have all reciepts and what not, some around $4k. It has all the original tool kit stuff, hazard kit, first aid kit, spare tire stuff, plastic sheeting, etc. It also has the factory Whale Tail. I did the headlight relay kit because you people scared me. It has H4 headlights, a brand new MOMO wheel and shift ****, and Lloyd mats front and rear to cover the original ones. The dash lights were swapped out with the LED upgrade kit as well/ All original keys and manuals. I swapped out the DME relay and fuel pump relay because you scared me on that too. The car does not have a ding on it, but the black paint is toast. Scratches, chips, and swirl marks abound. I hate black.
If I can send my file of pics to someone, do you think you could post some of them for me?

I wish I had the money currently. I would truly buy that car. I would use it as a daily driver.

The car has lived its life as a semi-daily driver. It was by no means a garage queen. I think thats why the mechanics are in such good shape. No time to rot. I drove the car 3 times before I bought it. One time it was for an hour. It was to good of a deal to pass up. It will make someone happy.
