Hi
At last, have managed to find time to resize the photos.
I was a little cautious about telling the details until i had delivery (transfer happened on monday) as the last car i bought (a 68L) fell through (I sent the cheque, he signed over the rego and sent it to me, and then changed his mind and didn't let the car go ... possession (in New Jersey) being 9/10ths of the law and all that !! I did get my money back.
Anyway, this was much simpler ! Saw the advert in the PCNA 'for sale items' described as follows:
"Non-sunroof cpe, orig Conda (Viper) Green, CA car since new, owners manual and service booklet with CA dealer’s stamps, toolkit, records back to 1986. Orig orange crest, CA blue plates (the front plate is still new in a yellow DMV envelope!) Engine rblt in mid-80s but no records (just references to it), pulls very strong, PMO rebuilt Webers, 901 shifts perfect. All orig body decals, recent German velour carpet, good seats door panels and pockets, DOT H4s, spare Fuchs has orig Uniroyal (with the nubs still on it!) brakes are solid, the car drives like new. Issues: Rust is starting to bubble in the usual locations at the bottom of the front and rear windows. No other rust on the car. Car has crazed paint on the roof and right rear fender, the rest of the paint is very nice. Dash has cracks in the usual places, and headliner is original but looks decent. Car drips a little oil, could use return tubes & turbo valve covers."
and the PPI, and my mate in LA going and having a look, and with some advice and warnings from Lisa (thanks again!), took the plunge ! My mate then picked it up and drove the 1 1/2 hour trip back to central LA - all went very well. Now in his lock up (with his 348, boxter, 380SL and 1957 Buick) until i go over and (from what i'm reading !) pack up the container personally !!
Will be asking some further advice shortly (ps anyone worked out the CA rules and regulations to export ... website is confusing ? - currently i registered it in my name to avoid the 10% CA sales tax)
oh yes, think i said somewhere else - $14,700 incl a set of "non-comfort" Fuchs !!
what do you think (bear in mind - it's too late now !!!)
