Dude that's a beautiful car but COME ON, a piece of wood to hold up your engine lid....lid struts are less than $30 a pair and take less than hour to replace..sorry to rant on you but it is a pet peeve of mine on how so many ask for a premium price for their 911's but choose not to replace some cheap parts like hood struts...ok off my soap box...carry on...

Nice post...more importantly, look at the cleanliness and originality of the motor.

"Dude" lighten up. I've been busy, big time busy remodeling the cabin my 930 finally gets to live in. Went to photograph the motor as requested by someone and THEY JUST FAILED yesterday, as I haven't spent a lot of time inside the engine compartment while busy. It held itself up some of the time, but didnt want it crashing down either...yes, will need replacing.

Here is an older photo with the lid struts functioning correctly.
.. I have since replaced the badly tattered buffer/insulation pad to tidy up the concours level look of the engine compartment.
The only tinkering required to bring it just shy of perfection on this car are as follows;
Replacement cd/radio needs swapping back to original (included in sale), black dash top has mild warpage in multiple places (no tears or creases, convinced it can be put back right?), matte black anodized trim around windows did its 'fade', call it patina. ...and lid struts.

Three Wheelin'
Beautiful car, and does not show the mileage. Unfortunately, sometimes what we want to get for our car, others don't see the same value. A clean example listed for this long with no bites, means one thing..... people don't agree with "market" value. If it had lower mileage you may be able to get "closer" to your comfort zone on pricing.
I think you need to decide whether you are ok with letting it go for what buyers are looking to pay, or else just save yourself the stress and keep it.

Oh and yea, $30k for the 79 would have been a few years ago.....not today's prices. Look at the prices of a Ferrai DINO 5-7 years ago then look at what they are trading for today...it's all supply and demand...but I'm sure you know that already.

I understand. Our perspective different. They are wondeful machines. I was previously dissapointed in my personal sale. There is nothing like the old real Porsche. I drove mine very hard.
