Vehicle Overview

For sale is a classic Porsche 911. This air-cooled long-hood car has strong bones and serious potential for the right enthusiast. Whether youre looking for a restoration candidate, backdate build, outlaw project, or weekend hot rod, this 911 offers a solid foundation.

Highlights:

Air-cooled 911 platform
Running and driving
1980s-era 911 SC engine swap (installed prior to my ownership)
Classic long-hood styling

Known Issues / Disclosures:

Speedometer/odometer non-functional true mileage unknown

1980s SC-era engine runs but requires mechanical attention to perform optimally

Converted to a cabriolet at some point in its life

Convertible top does not fully close

Seats currently removed (custom seat brackets installed by previous owner)

Drivers side door needs respray

One headlight needs replacement

At some point, a previous owner may have added body modifications to resemble an 80s-era 911

The car runs and drives but is not turnkey. It will require mechanical and cosmetic work to reach full roadworthy or show condition. This is not a numbers-matching collector example its a project car with real upside.

If youre looking for a pristine investment piece, this isnt it. If youre looking for a classic long-hood 911 to build your vision around, this could be the one.

Mechanical

Purchased with a 1980s-era 911 SC engine swap already installed. The car starts and runs, but requires feathering the throttle to get moving and will need a full tune-up and mechanical sorting to perform optimally. True mileage unknown due to non-functioning speedometer/odometer. Not turnkey and best suited for a project build.

Exterior

Classic long-hood body that was converted to a cabriolet at some point in its life. The convertible top does not fully close. Drivers side door will need respray, and one headlight requires replacement. At some point, body modifications may have been added to resemble an 80s-era 911. Overall presents as a project with cosmetic needs and strong potential for restoration or custom build.

Interior

Seats are currently removed, with custom seat brackets installed by a previous owner. Interior will require reinstallation of seating and general refurbishment depending on the buyers vision. Odometer is non-functional, and overall condition should be considered project-level.

Hi Greg, thank you for your questions. I’m not aware of the last recorded mileage, as the odometer was not functioning when I purchased the car and I don’t have documentation showing the prior reading. It appears the car was originally a hardtop (coupe) and was converted to a cabriolet/convertible at some point before I owned it, though I don’t have records confirming when the conversion was done. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

What was the last mileage known on the car? The car was a hardtop prior to your purchase? Thx Greg
