Description The prior owner was a commercial pilot and absolutely meticuous about the preparation, maintanence, and care of the the car. Many cars are advertised as race ready. This car is ready to win. It is reliable, beautiful, and has a motor which was built for torque. The motor is not a hand grenade and should last for at least 2 7 race seasons. The engine was built by Ron Appleton or Appleton Autoworks. He has built many winning Porsche motors including a Carrera Panamericana winning Porsche 356. The engine was freshened in August of '97. Appleton built the rear brake setup also. It has drum rears but can be returned to disk very quickly. (RMVR requires the original drum setup). The car is pre-72 and with this drum setup is legal with all vintage clubs. The owner is selling due to recently acquiring a wings and slicks car. He would also consider trades of a 911 race car or vintage sports racer.
