1986 Porsche 911 SunroofCouoe Additional Info:

Here for sale is a strong and smooth running 1986 Carrera in Iris Blue Metallic with blue leather upholstery. Engine fires up instantly every time. Car runs smoothly at all engine speeds, loafing at 2500 rpm and all through the rpm range up to the red line. transmission shifts smoothly. No fluid leaks or odd noises emanating from engine or transaxle. In 2009 there was significant work done to the car, including, but not limited to: Ball joints, front struts, rear shocks, brake rotors, wheels refinished, cv joints. Engine was shipped to Competition Engineering in California where heads were resurfaced, and valve job done. Other work done at this time includes cylinder head studs, transmission mounts, crankcase gaskets, cylinder head gaskets, rod bearings, connecting rod bushings, piston rings, oil lines, main bearings, Mahle piston/cylinder set, etc. at the same time, the transaxle was sent to CMS for rebuild. The thrust bearings and synchro rings were all replaced, as were 1st/2nd shift sleeve, 3rd/4th shift sleeve, and 915 5th gear hub and slider. According to previous owner, everything was in working order before the engine and transaxle work, he just wanted to start fresh. Some tasteful modifications include authentic porsche turbo rear wing and porsche turbo steering wheel, as well as Fabspeed exhaust. All of this work took place in June of 2009, and the car has accumulated 18,000 miles since the work was done. The AC is not working, the sunroof motor works but drive mechanism is not, the last time I drove the car, the right tail light was not working. The car is great fun to drive, handles well, brakes well and true, Fabspeed exhaust gives a mean growl. A great looking car that performs far better than most. Drove the car to Topeka Ks once and ran it up to 130 mph at around 5000 rpm, there was plenty left, but that was enough for me. Mainly drove the car near home in and around the Ozark mountains where I live. I have enjoyed the car as a Sunday driver for 5 years and have logged roughly 5000 miles. Odo reads 018,518. Actual miles are 118,500 as speedo was replaced when car was refreshed at 100k miles. You can call me if you like at 479)283-1148.
