The body is finished in Guards Red (L027) with a black convertible top and a matching top boot. The M491 option specified the wider front and rear fenders from the contemporary 911 Turbo along with front and rear spoilers, integrated front fog lights, and headlight washers. The seller notes paint bubbles on the right-front fender along with additional flaws pointed out in the close-ups of the paintwork, trim, and lenses included in the gallery below.
Fuchs 16″ wheels feature satin-black centers with polished lips and are wrapped in Fuzion Touring tires, with a temporary spare tire mounted in the front trunk. M491 equipment includes Turbo-specification brakes, anti-roll bars, trailing arms, and torsion bars. The seller notes a vibration around 60 mph and believes that the car requires an alignment.
The front sports seats are upholstered in tan leather, and matching leather accents the door panels and covers the fold-down rear seats. Equipment includes powered height adjustments for the driver’s seat, cruise control, power windows, a central locking system, and a Kenwood stereo. The door locks were reportedly serviced and the shifter rod bushings were replaced approximately 1k miles ago.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central 7k-rpm tachometer, a 170-mph speedometer, a quartz analog clock, and gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, oil level, battery voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows under 293k miles, approximately 400 of which have been added by the seller.
The air-cooled 3.2L flat-six was rebuilt approximately 1k miles ago according to the seller. Work included regrinding the camshafts, refurbishing the rocker arms, and performing a five-angle valve job along with replacing the engine mounts, studs, valve springs, timing chains, bearings, gaskets, and intake and exhaust valves. The seller states that an oxygen sensor was replaced following their acquisition in August 2022, at which time the car passed a California emissions test.
Images of the engine work are provided in the gallery below along with records.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle, which was serviced with a resealed shaft seal, a rebuilt helper spring shaft, and a replacement clutch disc as well as the clutch arm bushings and seals at the time of the engine rebuild.
Manufacturer’s literature, a VIN-based equipment breakdown, and service records are included in the sale.
