is in my shop right now getting some odds and ends tended to.
It is quietly for sale.
For those with TL;DR syndrome:
- 94 GTS Auto, White on Cashmere
- ~52k-miles
- engine out refresh by Greg Brown in 2016
- Full head job
- Missing oil drain holes in pistons no longer missing thanks to Greg
- All engine bits new/re-plated/clean-enough to eat off of.
- Black Sea's SuperClamp
I have not done my full-day over-under inspection on it. I might be able to find something mechanically in need. But, I doubt it. Factory orange peel is present on all panels so I'm pretty sure it's a no-accident GTS.
It's not going to end up on BaT anytime soon. Asking $85k.
If anyone is interested PM me and I'll put you in touch with the owner.
I believe the hook is for removing center caps on the wheels. Mine are missing on my GT & GTS.
Thanks for the reply Mike. I check my cars and none have the indented space in the plastic for the hook, even the '90. Is there a place in the plastic on your cars? Maybe it's only for GTs and GTS??

Very nice and exceptional car indeed but I don't get this that factory paint has orange peel. Or really not much.
Maybe comparing to today super cars, the classic Porsches paint (from the '70s at least) are not as nice but most Porsche car's paint are very, very nice.
Perfect to me AFAIC for a factory paint. New and older cars.
Most common new vehicles have orange peel. And often a lot…
Not Porsche and all high end cars.

The hook is to remove the caps from the wheel locks and can be purchased from Porsche. They also used a longer key for the GTS with a hook built in to do the same thing.

Yeah. He had planned to drive it in the summer when he's up here (he winters down South). He's had to re-evaluate his plans. His collection of very nice cars is for sale. But, in his words "not a fire sale."

Note that I'm not passing 'judgement' on orange peel. It's just a fact that
- many (perhaps most or all) Porsches in those days had a characteristic orange peel where many other German cars didn't and
- that panels that have been resprayed typically do not have that orange peel.
