If you don’t like the car don’t bid. Low miles rare colors and super easy minor things anyone with a socket set can fix. This is the new norm on these auction sites. Nit pick the car to keep the bidding in check. Beautiful 911 seller. Good luck.
"The gearbox was transitioned from the dated “915” 5-speed gearbox to the infamous G-50 transmission."
You might check/edit your ad copy...don't really think the G-50 is infamous.
@racer355 It’s all about the details. Small details make for big sales. If you can overlook actual damage to the front spoiler then what can else can be overlooked. You can’t tell me it’s about patina cuz it’s damage not wear is all I’m saying. Good luck. .
@harv666 We would be happy to assist with the install of the spoiler or arrange for dry ice blasting the underside or attention to the headliner should the winner choose.
@Bergman You got me, thank you for the compliment on the car though. The headlights are a little foggy, we were torn on keeping it for our personal collection or selling. Should the reserve not be met we were going to upgrade to the European H4 headlights. I do believe they could be cleaned by removing the bulb, filling with soapy water and letting it sit for a little bit and drying out though.
@jh986s Thank you very much.
@Ginalannucci As do we.

Umm.. should update your blub to reflect the second try at auctioning this lovely car.
@harv666 *could have had
The front spoiler would have been cheap to change. A dry ice bath for her belly and some attention to the roof liner and you have had a massive fight over this one.
