I'm listing this car on the owner's behalf. He's not especially computer literate but used to have a Rennlist account and knows John Dunkle. Brice is a great guy and is a Porsche car nut to the max. I can personally attest to the condition and care of this car. If you've seen my red 930, Brice's Turbo Look routinely causes me problems at concours events and other shows. You won't find a better guy to buy a Porsche from. Absolutely no-stories car in a color thats to die for in person and rarely ever seen.

DETAILS
Reportedly #7 produced overall of 355 Factory Turbo Looks imported in 1984. Rare color and option combination suggests the car may be 1 of 1. You'll never see another Factory Turbo Look like it. The M491 Turbo Look was a $10,000+ option in 1984. Car defies the 116,000 miles on the odometer, looking more like a 25,000 mile car. Best of both worlds 911 with low mileage looks without the dry-rot and failing parts of a Porsche that sits in the garage 350 days a year.

REPLACED/REPAIRED ITEMS
Within my ownership I have replaced the windshield (cosmetic only), replaced the front rubber valance, rear rubber bumperettes (cosmetic only), front and rear signal lens indicators/bulbs, repainted the side skirts (cosmetic only), repainted the front spoiler, repainted the wiper arms, and replaced the rear fender stone guards, hardly-used Continental Conti-Sport tires with under 2,000 miles on them.

SERVICE WORK
Receipts go back to the original owner and are believed to be complete. Almost $4,000 of preventive maintenance was done in the last 60 days at Porsche of the Village (Cincinnati) including new oil return tubes, a valve adjustment, re-wiring power seats, and other scheduled service interval work. Within the last nine years, the clutch has been replaced and 1st and 2nd gear synchros replaced (preventive).

A/C does not blow cold and heater speed control does not adjust fan speed. Heater does work. Power mirrors inoperable.

RECOGNITION
This vehicle was a featured car in Tony Corlett’s “Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera: The Last of the Evolution”, available at book stores and Amazon.com. Photos are prominent including the inside cover fold, several inside pages, and a full two-page spread in the book’s centerfold. The author focuses on Porsche 911s based on the 3.2 Carrera engine, considered by many to be the last and best true descendent of the original 1964 Porsche 911. As one of the first Factory Turbo Looks imported into the United States and because of its rare color and option combination, Corlett chose to feature the car prominently as one shining example of the best work built by Porsche in the 1980s. A copy of the book will go to the new owner.

The car has also appeared in the Griot’s Garage Handbook, and won more than two dozen concours and People’s Choice awards since 2002 — most of them from Porsche-specific events and competitions.

4 1/2 year old post. Thinking the car sold a LONG time ago

Bloose993TT

You got to be kidding.

ejdoherty911

The car is still available and the price has been lowered to $17,000 due to low interest in Porsche 911s over the last four years.

What a nice throwback to what prices used to be though

Funny how the old posts pop up but interesting to see again after a few years. Whoever the owner is has a terrific car. I think my color is just as nice but I of course may be biased. I own 1 of 76 for my year although it would be great to know just how many M491's in '86 were built in Meteor Gray Metallic.

Geez, you're tellin' me... I opened the thread and said to myself "How is this even possible?"

Comment from the owner, now previous owner:

Just a note that this vehicle found a happy new owner and home in Atlanta, GA. Congrats to the new caregiver. They got a gem. I will probably never another platinum metallic Factory Turbo Look with factory ordered matching Fuchs in my lifetime unless I drive to the Peach State to see it.
