Just bought my first air cooled 911- 1977 911 Sunroof coupe. Pics included
Well i've been checking out older 911's for a while, currently i have a 997.1 S & have owned several 996's in the past...stumbled across this one which has had some NOT so nice mods done to it, however price was right, car runs/shifts good + has matching numbers but not on engine and trans (they are from an 83 SC) , great undercarriage no accidents.. overall it isn't super ugly even the way it sits now..
its a 1977 911 Sunroof coupe, but somewhere along its life one of its 3 previous owners put one of those 964 kits on it with welded carrera or turbo flares i'm not sure which they are (real kit not fiberglass) this however isn't my cup of tea at all so i'll be slowly taking it back to what it should really look like. The big positive is engine / trans are from a 1983 so its 3.0 SC engine plus the interior looks great and was recently done.
I can't wait to make this thing into a true 1977 sunroof coupe -hopefully it won't take much work, i'm ordering correct era front / rear bumpers as soon as i can.
The drive is amazing on this car, so analog, i really feel connected with the car..What an amazing brand Porsche is...
She maybe a Frankenstein for now? a 77' chassis, 83 engine, 90 body kit? lol...however, she's my frankenstein & will soon be babied back to its natural state!
