Please view in the photos, the new full driver's blue canvas tonneau cover. The original bikini cover comes with it, too. It is in very good shape, as well.

6-20-18: I never bothered with the CoA. The Vehicle History report shows it was purchased as a Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible 3.2L H6 SOHC12v. There was a severe accident reported in New York 12/23/1993. It appears that is when the wide body panels were applied during the rebuild. That would make sense to do then. I remember those kits back then as being coveted and quite expensive. :-) The drive train and interior were not affected and show no indication of being altered much since purchase. There is a nice after market steering wheel and the new radio and back up camera. I checked and a CoA will take over 4 weeks to arrive. That's not useful for this auction. Sorry.
I never really thought about how it was lowered. It handles great and since I never track this car, I never worried about it. I am sure they are not coil overs, since I think I would have noticed that. The lowering was likely done in 1993 when the first rebuild was done. Could you tell from a photograph? I did have the wheel bearings serviced recently at Markert Motorworks (1-678-247-0741 - https://www.markertmotorworks.com/) and they reported that the suspension and alignment was in good shape. They did suggest the tie rod end covers need to be replaced. (Not yet done.) I have had the car since very early 2014. I found it in a collection in west Georgia in a climate controlled storage area. It has clearly been garage kept its whole life. Also, I encourage you to call Kurt Keitel who tuned it recently*. He is a Porsche Engineer, race engine builder. He will have details I never cared about. He is a great detail man. (1-678-654-1257 - http://ultraperformance.net/) It runs so well, I have been using it as my daily driver around town. Town folks love it! ! :-) I hope this helps some.

5-20-18:I will leave two links to YouTube, but you may have to copy and paste as I don't think this note page allows for click links. This is a very strong driver, and runs very smooth. It has no oil leaks and doesn't burn oil at all. You do see the blue-white puff at start, as all boxer engines tend to do when sitting a bit, but it goes out right away. With proper care, I predict another 140k miles before rebuild is needed. This model has a very strong engine and the G50 transmission is known for its durability and longevity.The 2015 rebuild needed was only body panels. There was no damage to the drive train, interior, engine bay or hood. You may call the company and review their work with them. https://www.magnumcollision.com/ I am sure you have checked out the comps. This car gets the looks, people stop to see it, want to get their photo with it; and you will never find anything rust free like it, at anywhere near the price. The value will never go lower and you know, in time, it will only climb.

Check out these two videos I have on YouTube, as well.

The reserve is low to account for her bumps and bruises, yet teh work has always been top notch with loving care. Do the research, make. The worst that can happen is you will learn some things and meet good people; and maybe get a great car to won! She is a great story!

PS When Mangnus Walker got in and she started with a turn of the key, without his foot on the gas pedal, he was amazed. She purred like kitchen and revved like a mother lion! He said that there are few aircooled Porsche that are as responsive in that price range!
