Finished from the factory in Polo Red (6602), the car was stripped to bare metal before receiving a two-stage repaint in the early 2010s, at which time rust repair was performed, including replacement of the floors, front suspension pan, and battery tray along with repairs to the fenders, doors, and rocker panels. The turn signal housings were refinished and fitted with replacement lenses, and H4 headlights were also added. The windshield was replaced in November 2022, and paint protection film has been applied to the hood, front bumper, and below the headlights. Touchup paint was applied to a scratch below the left wiper arm, and there is a scrape in the paint protection film below the right headlight.
Slotted chrome 15″ steel wheels wear polished hubcaps with Porsche crests and are mounted with 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires showing date codes from 2014. A spare is housed in the front trunk. The suspension features Bilstein dampers, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The selling dealer notes the front lower ball joint boots are torn.
The front bucket seats and fold-down rear seats were fitted with replacement foam padding and reupholstered in black leatherette during the cosmetic overhaul. Dynamat sound-deadening material was added and replacement square weave carpets were also installed. Appointments include a heater, lap belts, manual-crank windows, and a fire extinguisher.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a central tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, a 120-mph speedometer, and gauges for engine temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 26k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled flat-four was reportedly rebuilt to displace 1.7 liters in November 2020 and features dual carburetors, Shasta 86mm pistons, a NeuTek SX camshaft, and a Precision Matters full flow oil filter system.
The engine stamp is viewable above.
A five-speed manual transaxle was installed in September 2022, at which time the clutch was reportedly replaced. The removed four-speed manual transaxle is included in the sale, and a photo of the stamping (161741) is viewable in the gallery.
