The bodywork was finished from the factory in Slate Gray (6601). The hood, fenders, left quarter panel, and right door have been previously refinished. Brightwork includes chrome bumpers with overriders as well as door, side, and window trim. A locking antenna and a left-side mirror were installed when the car was new.
Chrome 15″ wheels with Porsche dog dish hubcaps wear 185/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires were installed earlier in 2021. A spare mounted with a Michelin tire is located under the front trunk, and the trunk struts were replaced in preparation for sale. Braking is handled by discs at all four corners.
The cabin is finished in black leatherette with matching door panels and gray carpets protected by embroidered floor mats. Amenities include a heater, crank windows, front lap belts, and a Panasonic cassette stereo said to have been installed in 1974 following the theft of the original Blaupunkt radio. A dent is visible on the dashboard trim to the right of the glovebox. Upholstery repair of the left-front seat cushion and right-front seat back was performed in preparation for sale.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel with a “batwing” horn button fronts a centrally located tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline accompanied by a 120-mph speedometer, a temperature gauge, and an analog clock. The five-digit mechanical odometer has rolled over and currently reads 89k miles.
The 1.6-liter flat-four was overhauled with a replacement camshaft and rebuilt Solex carburetors by BTM Motorwerks of Campbell, California, in July 2019, at which time the engine tin was powder-coated, hardware was cadmium-plated, a rebuilt distributor was installed, and the muffler was replaced. An oil change was performed in preparation for sale.
Engine stamping *755615* shown above matches the engine number listed on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
