Nice find Nate. I'm very familiar with dealership, I stop by there almost weekly. Only 10 mins from my house, and they always have cool cars. But leave them out all winter and the ones near the road get pounded with salt and slush (cars like Ferrari 360s; 911s; etc). I will stop by there this this weekend and check it out.
I looked at the red '80 today (Nate's post ^^^). An honest miles car. it has 84 K on the clock. I had the key, and it started up after a couple of tries, but died, until I got it warm, then it idled fine (it is a chilly day here today in Pittsburgh). The dealer is asking $9999.
It checks all the boxes for an early car - it has all tools, the BULB KIT, unmolested with bulbs in it, the manual, and a fat folder of receipts. The car has been serviced at the local Porsche dealer, as well as some indy shops I know and some I don't know. It has had a timing belt done and the tires (Contis) look brand new. It has the original card board style venturi intake tubes, in very good shape, a jump post cover is present. No evidence of oil leaks, but I did not crawl under it.
No evidence of repaint that I could see, and over all the paint is in very good shape. Straight body panel fit, some very slight early stage bubling around the rear quarter window trim, but you have to look hard to see it. The rear wiper works, as does the sun roof and the windows. the seats are manual operation.
The odo apparently works - I reset the mileage back to 0, no issues. All the caps are there that are supposed to be on top of things in the engine bay. It has the red plastic gas cap, and the green painted oil dipstick. Overall, it is a solid early car in need of some interior attention.
As to the interior, the dash is leather and mostly in good shape. No cracks in the pod. The roof liner is perfect, no warps in the rear quarters. The carpets are very dirty, and the seats are a mess, but easily recovered by Bob Budd.
If this question is directed at the 80 in the pics immediately above, then yes, red not orange. It is guards red, which in certain light has a distinct orange hue.
