This car looks like it just drove off the showroom floor!

I'm helping a friend/customer sell her late husband's car. Its kind of a sad story. He had an original RS touring model and when they started to get too valuable to drive he got this car in order to drive it. Shortly after getting the car, he got cancer and died only putting around 3000 miles on the car. It has sat in their garage for almost ten years and she's finally ready to let it go.

Sure, its not a long hood or short wheel base car but as the prices of those cars hit the stratosphere the next logical collectible is right here. This car is incredible! One of only around 500 US Model Carreras produced. Its a non-sunroof car with red sport seats, flares and duck tail all factory original.

The mileage really is ONLY 26K! I have books and records that will go with the car and be available to any potential purchaser to examine to prove the mileage claim.

The hood script is very unusual and rare. I have only seen it on this car and in magazines. The owner also has another hood without the script that can go with the car if the purchaser wishes.

Pictures cannot do this car justice.

I have been all over this car with a fine tooth comb and can only find a couple of things not perfect on it. The front bumper has been repainted at some time. The rear lower valence has been repainted as well and the textured part on the part near the bellows doesn't match on both sides. There is one small snag on the driver's seat outer bolsters piping. The steering wheel looks like its seen a bit of sun. All four inner fender wells have been dusted with a flat black. Someone's idea of "cleaning up" the area I assume. A concourse detail would probably clean it right up.

The car runs great! The case has already been time-certed at approximately 13K miles along with new exhaust valves at that time.

While bringing it back from storage it got a new battery. It had the fuel tank drained and flushed. The brake system flushed with new fluid and bled. The transmission was drained and filled with swepco. The oil was changed and filled with motul 5100 15-50. It will need tires as these Pirellis have been on there for a while and I wouldn't trust 'em and they feel funny at 60 MPH. The fuel filter was left installed as there is no original replacement available and the new owner can decide how they wish to perform the update.

The car is available to view in Oakland, CA. or I can take pictures of any area a potential buyer would wish.

I have helped ship cars all over the world and can assist in arranging shipping if the new owner wishes. Or they can pick it up and drive it home.

Back to the front page. 700 views and only a couple of e-mails? I thought there would be much more interest in this car.

At this price level, is this broker/dealer territory?

Is it still available? If it hasn't sold why?
