here's my "911 for sale" ad.  the last appearance of the infamous spamwagen...

1975 911S [no longer] For Sale

Freshly Waxed!
The car, several years ago, just after a waxing.  It never really looked this good...

Rust free, straight and unwrecked California car with an almost-dead motor, 155K miles on the chassis. A great candidate for restoration or a racecar conversion. This car is not suitable for use as is--it's driveable, but isn't likely to stay that way for long. The drivetrain is tired, and it's probably going to quit running in another couple hundred miles. If you're looking for a driver, look elsewhere, and don't waste your time and mine.

  • Faded and spotty Peru Red paint, now better described as "brick shithouse red".  Nothing short of sanding and repainting will help.  A few little dings and dents, nothing ghastly.
  • 2.7L motor, 50K on a serious rebuild (Dilavars, Euro p&c, SC cams).  Runs poorly, low oil pressure (25 psi@4000 rpm), ignition system is going, alternator is almost dead, fuel system is questionable.  The heads are probably OK.  Has '73 heat exchangers (the good ones), is missing most of the emissions controll stuff (egr, thermal reactors).
  • Tired transmission: 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear synchros are shot, and the clutch is fairly old.
  • Tan interior (minus seats) is in good condition.  One small rip in the headliner, one crack in the dash, one cigarette burn on the carpet, a few scuffs in the back seat area (P.O. used to put his bike back there).
Asking $3000.

Contact Dirk Bergstrom. The car lives in Palo Alto California.

California Residents: Due to CA's draconian smog laws, I will only sell the car as a roller (no engine) to a CA buyer.  Otherwise I leave myself open to liability in perpetuity.  I will make no exceptions unless a) I trust you like a brother, or b) you post a $10,000 bond returnable upon completion of a full restoration of the car (ie., you make it absolutely streetable to CARB's satisfaction).
