GT3COLORADO

Hello,
I picked this up last week. My original intention was for it to be a conversation piece in my garage. After doing a little research I think it might be a little special. I think it is an early version (1980). Does anyone have an owners manual I can copy? Any source for parts? Any and all information is appreciated.

That is a very cool find. They are quite rare.

You might try looking on PelicanParts, I think there is a thread about someone restoring one.

I remember they said the "Fuchs" hubcaps are hard to find.

Apparently Porsche didn't skimp on the literature..




A kiddie car. They called it the Porsche 911 Junior. Originally the rear lightstrip says "Junior."

Porsche contracted somebody (can't remember) to make these kiddie cars. They made this and a 936. Don't know how many they made, few hundred perhaps.

There's a youtube video of some crazy guy driving one fairly quickly.

I think they have two speeds, plus reverse, disc brakes (rear), and a Briggs & Stratton or Honda engine?

Begging to have the ignition switch moved to the left though.

So significant, Porsche has one of each (maybe more) in their collection.

I have one in Guards Red. I have owned since 1990 as a child (Photo is the day i got it!). It is now in need of restoration. I have found a chap in Poland with a few parts. Despite best efforts, i can't find a formal background to them. I emailed the Porsche museum and they just said they cant help. You were able to get the Parts from a Porsche main dealer (UK) up to about 99/00 but then they were no longer available. Mine is 179 of ?? Internet suggests anything between 50 (!!) and 200. This is the German / Polish? version not the Agostini Italian one. Have you still got yours GT3COLORADO? Have you done any restoration?

I still have the Junior. The only restoration I have done is on the motor. I put a used/correct Honda motor in the Junior. Other than that I have not been able to find any parts to restore the car. I had a display stand with casters made. The junior is a conversation piece in the bar of my race shop.
I will take a picture and post it to this thread. Any chance you guys have some replacement parts?

So i have a contact in Poland with a few parts, but not everything. I have just ordered a side mirror, indicator (erm "repeater" lens) and the carrera badge. I am waiting delivery. If they are in good condition I will let you know my contact.

Sorry for necroposting, but, Can anyone help to find a PDF/scans versions of 911jr manual and parts catalog? Or 936jr may be.
Need it for a new project.
