Just uploaded some undercarriage pics and cold start and convertible top operation videos.
Bid in the amount of $15,250
Can you provide a cold start video?
Also…top and all power components operating and no issues other than slight cosmetic items?
Original radio is gone from previous seller?
Thanks
@hhighstone Some undercarriage shots submitted on Sunday. They were after an interested person inspected the car and took it for a test ride in the sloppy Minnesota weather season. So the underside shows some drips and the fender panels show some salt residue. Buyer did notice a spot of clean oil on the floor where the car had been stored, about the size os a US Quarter.

Hello all. I am selling this convertible in the dead of winter here in MPLS. Just bought three 911 coupes so this one has to go. Great car. I bought it in 2021 before I purchased the coupes. One is a Targa with only ~4,400 miles. I am a hobby buyer and seller, with over 35 cars in my two warehouses. I drive them just enough to keep the batteries charged, engine warmed and tire round. I have mostly BMW M5s, M6s, one i8 and several vintage cars. Love all things with wheels!
