@Porschepulse Thank you
@Autogeek24 Thank you for your observation! That’s because I used the front camera lense of my iPhone . I noticed that as well after the fact which is why I took another cold start video using the back lense. My apologies for the confusion!
Hello,
Why in the cold start video is the car left hand drive and all other videos the car is right hand drive ? is this a video error or have I missed some information ?
@Chipper Thank you for the insight! That might be the reason, but I just started noticing this as the weather got colder and the battery performance seemed to drop.
Bid in the amount of $20,249
The cold start issue is usually the wur and or the fuel control pressures. Nothing to do with the battery. LoL
Bid in the amount of $19,999
@8000rpm Thank you for your question! The slow start in the first cold start video I believe is due to the battery. Now that the weather is colder, there are times when the car doesn't crank right away. However, I did another cold start video today that I posted earlier, and it started on the first try. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@seller I don’t think I saw a comment on this. Have you had the slow start diagnosed? If so, what’s the issue?
@Jetpaul Just uploaded a driving video, please let me know if you have any other questions.
@Jetpaul Thank you for bringing that up! The reason for the idle in the video may appear a bit high could be because the car was not fully warmed up yet when i recorded it. I will upload another video shortly.
Bid in the amount of $14,000
Several times in the driving video when you shift to neutral it’s idling at 1500-1600 RPM. What’s up with that??

where in VA is the vehicle located?
@Mas4775 Thank you for your question—its a good one! The loan payoff can be handled by either party as long as the exact payoff amount is sent to the lender, with name, and account number included. The fastest way to ensure the title is released quickly is to use a wire transfer or certified funds. Once the lender receives the payoff, they will release the title to me. I will then sign it in the seller section and mail it to the buyer.
@Porschepulse maybe a silly question but would the buyer or seller assuming or paying off the loan?

@Andyjames01 Thank you for your patience. I just confirmed that there is no heat in the car.
@Chipper Thank you for your observation! I opted for black to match the title, which also lists the color as black. This way, the car remains cohesive with its documentation while offering a refined appearance.
That is of little significance. The original color of the car as per the ID plate you have pictured and the obvious engine bay is brown.
@Chipper Thank you for your comment! The car is listed as black on the title, aligning with its current appearance.
Restoring to the original brown color would look much better than the current black repaint.
@Porschepulse sounds good.
@Andyjames01 Thank you for your question, and I apologize for the delay in responding! While the exhaust has been updated to headers, the rest of the heating components remain in the car. That said, I’ve never personally used the heat. I’m currently out of town until tomorrow, but I’ll check everything and get back to you with confirmation as soon as possible.
@Andyjames01 @porschepulse seems my tag didn't work for you.
@porschepulse, I saw that the exhaust has been changed to headers, besides that exhaust, is the rest of the heating items still in the car, or has everything been removed?
I'm in Washington state so heat for the winter drives is necessary.
Bid in the amount of $11,000
@SayAWE911 Absolutely! Uploaded videos.

@IXXINut Thank you for your comment and for pointing that out! The orientation for the pictures is fixed, so they should now display properly.
Very nice 911. It would help if all of the pictures were in the porper orentation.
@garyklein911: The '77 did use thermal reactors and and an air pump. Temperature gauge is also unique to '77 going to 340°.
FWIW: Catalytic converters appeared in 1978.
@Porschepulse Thanks for info. Will stay tuned for videos.
@SayAWE911 Thank you for your follow ip question! I have owned the car since 2021. No additional issues have surfaced since the rebuild. The color listed on the title is black. The engine features a green fan shroud, consistent with the factory designation for this year model. I just Uploaded pictures of engine number and vin, I will upload the gear box number soon. As for selling, I’m navigating significant changes in life, prompting the decision. Regarding oil cooling, there have been no upgrades made, the car run beautifully. Look for the driving videos to be uploaded soon as well.

77 911 experts please correct me if I’m wrong. My understanding is that this engine came with an air pump, twin thermal reactors and exhaust gas recirculation. Also cats did not exist yet. From the picture shown, I don’t see any of these parts still there. Also it looks like performance headers and not heat exchangers, thus no heat. Thus I assume would not have a chance on CA smog checks. Certainly these are good performance mods, but just need to know what has been changed. Thanks.
@garyklein911 Thank you for your question and interest in the car! The cats were not removed when the updated exhaust was installed.
@garyklein911 Thank you for your question and interest in the car! I just uploaded a picture of the exhaust. It is a Dansk dual centre-exit exhaust system. I will upload more picture once I have the car on a lift for more updated photos. I will check the heat and let you know.

Thank you for your response. a few more items to create clarity/history. How long have you owned it? Any additional issues surface on engine rebuild? Original color brown (engine bay)? Green color on engine? Matching numbers on engine and transmission to rest of car? why selling after recent engine rebuild (50 miles)? Any additional oil cooling done for the 2.7? Much appreciated.
By the way, asking for California buyers such as myself has the exhaust work deleted the cats or are they still in place which I believe is required for California admissions of all cars Newer than 1975
I can't see how the exhaust system is situated. Still have heat? Headers only? Please describe full exhaust system. Thanks.
@sportscarguy3 This car has been a labor of love, and it’s wonderful to hear such positive feedback about the effort that went into its restoration. Thank you for the support and well wishes!
@SayAWE911 Thank you for your question and interest in the car! The suspension has been refreshed with upgraded sway bar bushings and a performance strut assembly. I’ve just uploaded pictures from the recent engine-out work, which include detailed shots of the undercarriage. I will take and upload updated photos showing how the car looks now after all the work was completed. Will also get you a leak down figure as well and brake life. Tomorrow I will do a cold start video, walk around and driving as well. Thank you again for your interest.
