Yeah... the ad says that the 996.2 headlights alone cost $26,000 !

Don't miss out on this unique and well presented Porsche!

Manufactured 12/1976 2.7 litre factory 4 seater with seat belts. Australian delivery Canberra February 1977. Factory sunroof & air-conditioning with log books. Inspected & Registered in South Australia 25th August 2005.

- Previous owner spent $40,00.00 on the Kevlar & Fibreglass 959 kit which involved body work to remove roof gutters.
- Fitted with a new roof lining cloth & leather trim Recaro front seats and rear seat.
- New remotely operated Pioneer sound system (1,500.00.).
- 19 inch 5 x 130 Kahn rims Titanium and polished stainless steel 2 piece: Rear ET 40 x 11J Front ET 45 X 8.5J ($9,000.00), Falken FK 451 tyres. 285/35ZR19 & 245/35ZR19
- 996 Carrera 4S headlights (stated they cost 26,000.00).
- Momo steering wheel and gear ****, remote alarm system and no-go system.
- Fully painted in ‘Cosmos’ Commodore SS purple duco.
- As well as the body work it has had a new, clutch, alternator, brake pads, twin exhaust.
I have replaced, gearshift coupling & bushes, rocker cover gaskets, oil & filter change, new fuel pump, petrol sender unit, petrol tank liner, Bosch injectors, new horn, plugs, idler gear, choke assembly, battery, manifold rubbers, inlet manifold gaskets, air cleaner strap, injector O rings, airbox, cold start injector and full sunroof seal kit.

In all probability, the vehicle owes more than $110,000.00
Drives very well but has a slight oil leak.

A rear head turner!
I'm posting a "for sale" right now:

My headlights are now officially available to you guys for the VERY reasonable price of only $20,000, an RL discount!
