@gunnr52 Hi
Yes I had one of the headlights painted to remove the only stone chip. It was done so well you can’t tell it was done or which one was done. I think this is shown when looking at photos. It doesn’t show.
Beautiful 944.
Has the car ever had any paintwork anywhere?
Thank you.
@914Stuttgart Still looking for radio.
@914Stuttgart Yes some flexibility on price but have already dropped $2000. Would like to move it before winter sets in.
@Myporsche944 Sorry, did not see the previous response on the other items.
@Myporsche944 Yes, I am. Wanted to get a sense for any room in the Buy Now and last bid range. Is there any flexibility? Also, were you able to locate the radio and confirm the compressor and the AC (R134) as asked by another party? Thank you!
@914Stuttgart are you interested in making a bid????
@Docv Good Day No the air conditioner has not been converted. I have had no problem with it and it runs very cold. Yes I have the tools still in original cover and never been used. Compressor is also still in original box. Are you interested in making bid????
Has the A/C been converted to R134? Original tools, air compressor, etc, are they available?
Thank you.
@Myporsche944 Ok, thank you.
@914Stuttgart not sure. I think I stored in attic. Will check tomorrow
@Myporsche944 Thanks. The car looks very clean and well taken care of based on the pictures. Do you by chance still have the original radio?
@Docv Pcar will not allow me to post email or phone number
@914Stuttgart Check out photos below. There are several shots of front end
@914Stuttgart There are on stone chips on front or anywhere on the car. No video of start up but with only 36700 miles it runs strong
@Myporsche944 Thanks for your quick response. Do you have any closeups of the front nose and valance? any road rash? Also, do you have a start up video to share?
@914Stuttgart Yes how can I help. Pcar will not allow giving out email.

@Myporsche944 Good day,
Is there a way to discuss offline?
Thank you
@Docv yes I would be happy to discuss with you
@914Stuttgart I have some with different areas of car. Is there an area of concern you have that photos don’t show???
Hope all is well. Do you have a video walkaround you can share? Thanks!

Wow. Spectacular!
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Impressively immaculate and incredibly low mileage!!!
This is a 1985 .5 model. That means it has the updated dash and air conditioning that runs very cold. As you can tell by the pictures, there are no scratches or stone chips. Looking for someone else to love it.
Luv the originality! ?
