Summation:
Great color combination on this car shows off the lines. If you are looking for a classic air-cooled 911, this would be an excellent choice. The 3.6 liter engine is proven to be very reliable. Porsche’s change to coil springs was a major improvement to controlling the rear suspension and make the handling more predictable. For a vintage car these are still ones that require little sacrifice in creature comfort while providing maximum enjoyment. The car is fitted with air conditioning that works and power windows and mirrors. This car shows how proper long-term care allows a 21 year old car to look and drive like new. The current owner of the car was willing to invest so the next owner can enjoy the car and buy with confidence.
