After lurking on this site for a number of years, I've decided it's time for a water cooled 911. Regulars to the Pelican site may recognize this as the "Moses Targa", which has many threads dedicated to its high-quality, no expense spared build. I am the third owner of this car, purchased from Moses in 2010 after considering a conversion on my own 911SC Coupe (do the math, it's a slippery slope). I've enjoyed this car immensely during my ownership, and have taken it on many long distance rallies, including the Northeast Mountain Melee in 2013 -- 1300 miles in 3 days, the car ran flawlessly. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere -- arguably one of the most sorted, well done 3.6 conversion cars out there. The car is happy in traffic, around town or on weekend coffee run blasts to the middle of nowhere. The engine pulls strong in all gears and sounds absolutely incredible. No rust or accidents. Excercised regularly on the weekends, always garaged and obsessed over. Just an awesome car. Certainly not concours, but excellent driver and priced accordingly.

104K on the chassis, approximately 65K on the engine (not sure of true mileage). Recent PPI by ROCS in Belleville, NJ. Excellent leakdown/compression numbers of 2.5-3.5% across all cylinders. Happy to share report details upon request.

Exterior:
Beautiful Factory Zinn Metallic (code 956). The car was treated to a high quality, windows out repaint prior to my ownership.
Usual stone chips on the hood and front bumper, a few scratches on the body which the pictures will show. Overall, I'd rate the paint a 8 of 10, it looks fantastic. The rear fender was damaged by the PO's fence and was properly repaired shortly after I received it.
GT Racing Front and rear IROC-style bumpers. The front bumper was replaced in 2012 after being backed into by a careless driver when parked.
Factory Carrera Wing
Bosch Euro H4 conversion with Sucro relay kit
993 aero mirrors

Interior:
Cobra Misano seats -- Nappa leather with carbon fiber shelled backs. Fully adjustable and tilt for access to rear seating area.
Schroth 4 point harnesses -- still retains factory seat belts and receptacles for everyday driving (labels are expired, I've never used the belts)
TRE Targa harness bar.
Momo Prototipo steering wheel
Pioneer stereo with removable faceplate -- honestly, I've never used it!
MB Quart speakers
Rennline pedals and dead pedal
All gauges work properly including the clock -- note it has a 930 tachometer, but no turbo
Rear seat backs currently not installed but will come with the car
Wevo Classic Shifter

Engine/trans:
1997 3.6-liter from C4S (installed in 2005 with 45K miles). Engine has approximately 65K, but not certain of actual mileage. Engine uses about 1 quart every 1000 miles of spirited driving. No smoking or major leaks.
Patrick motorsports conversion kit with lightweight flywheel
Sachs power clutch
B&B polished stainless headers with heat -- sounds incredible!!!
Custom Dynomax stainless muffer with dual outlets
Cytex chip
Carbon Fiber RS heater Tube
B&B front oil cooler -- car runs 180 degrees all day long
Elephant Carrera fender cooler with fan
Elephant oil lines
K&N air filer
New rear axle assemblies in 2013
915 trans with open differential and stock gearing -- shifts great

Brakes:

25mm 930 master cylinder
Brake fluid flushed in 2013

Minor issues -- don't they all need something?:
Some scratches and stone chips on the hood.
Minor bubbling of the paint on the rear bumper, caused by exhaust heat
Bezel for the fresh air blower is cracked, I have a replacement with cables that will come with the car
Targa top is showing its age, I typically enjoy the car without it. No leaks but needs a rebuild -- this is factored into the asking price.
2 small stress cracks in decklid grille. These were on the car when I purchased it, didn't really bother me.
No radio antenna -- I haven't used the radio once.
Engine leaves a dime sized drop of oil after a drive, nothing more, nothing less.

Car will comes with many extra parts and a custom car cover.
