various re-build and maintenence manuals
full set of the original 3.6 liter barrels and pistons in good condition
original Carrera 2 decklid and spoiler (working unmolested)
bosch hammer with all cables and manuals (most cables never used) with 2 programming chips
genuine porsche RS America decklid and spoiler (currently guards red)
original drivers side bumper piece to return it to a single out exhaust (with the plug)
original back seats
extra set of taillights and center section I had planned on either recovering with gus' taillight cover set or making a 5 taillight wiring set from
all porsche pieces and anything else that will remind me of the car because I will just die if I remember losing my car and the 911 I once owned
original engine under cover (off car for obvious reasons)
a bunch of excellence magazines
a couple of beat up rims and some used tires for the car (can be used for spare tires and rims may be repairable)
A CDC-220
a Porsche CD changer to match CDC-220
Cult Werk RS brake ducts (new un-installed)

the car itself has a 3.8 Liter engine with loads of power
new rings bearings etc.
new valves guides, springs and seals
performance head job done by EBS racing
polished crank
reconditioned rods
cams done to a RS grind
fabspeed cat bypass /muffler that requires no secondary muffler
steve wong chip
rebuilt / flow tested injectors
a fiberglass RS 3.8 liter decklid with carbon fiber end caps and plane
Cult Werk RS front splitters
a rear seat delete
all 3 lloyd's mats with the Porsche logo in tan
the full tool roll
a air pump for the spare
aluminum gauge trim rings (easily removable I used double sided tape)
a sony CD in dash
a sony CD changer in RSD
fairly excellent sounding sound system in the car (although I preferred the engine sound and barely used it)

most of you have seen the car as I lovingly put it together...as I agonized over every piece....if you need more pictures contact me here and I will e-mail any you need

if the car does sell.....I swear I will run to the frickin casino and spend every single penny in one shot before I ever own a ferd moosetwang...the money will be locked away in a CD long term so she is unable to get her paws on it without alot of problems....but I have come to the end of my fight....my beautiful car has to go.....by the way....just because I never mentioned it I had named her Jessica....and I will miss her more than any car I have ever owned in my 47 years on this earth....there will never be any car that will ever measure up...


I will not split up anything or sell off any pieces...$35,000 is the price for one hell of alot of great pieces....I believe it is more than fair and I will not haggle

gonna go be totally depressed now...

Goodbye Jessica...I hope you find a home that loves you as much as I do....
must be one helluva wife...

This story may be a great sales pitch, but I also have been thinking of great buyer pitches. When I'm ready to buy and have found the right car, I was either going to go with I'm dying of Ebola and my life long wish is to own a 964, or my wife left me for a Mercedes dealer. One of these should get the price down for sympathy. Lol

This looks like a great car to buy. Nice way to get into a 3.8. Not a fan of the fixed rear wing and speaking of wives, I think she would get upset if i buy a 3rd 964, even though I would love to turn this into a street rod / driver's event type vehicle.

Seeing as the OP just "bumped' the thread to keep his sales ad current I now firmly believe that this was one big advertising plot by the OP.

I'm with you on that Smokey... but is there anything that makes you believe *SHE* will divorce you over the car if you were not to sell it. I mean it works both ways, right? I'm sure there's a way to have it all, unless it is a financial decision.

Perhaps saving for the mustang is an option... in my mind there's still something not very logical here.

On the other hand, you've been married 10 times as long as I have... so I'm sure you know how to handle it best.

Good riddance once somebody uses religion to explain things I am lost.

If the 964 is just a material thing then what the hell is the Mustang?

Why does the wife get the material thing that is important to her but not you?

Maybe I just don't get it but to me both are "things" and so in order to save your marriage and your faith to GOD you are prepared to sell your "thing" so your wife can acquire her "thing".

Good thing I am not religious cause I would certainly FAIL at it.

BTW I am happily married for 25 years and I think a big part of it is because my wife would never ask me to sell my 964 or any of my other "things" UNLESS the funds were needed for the family and if that was the case she would not even have needed to ask me because it would have already been sold.

If I was living in the USA I would definitely give you a call and probably make the deal. Too bad I'm in the other side of the ocean and with the import costs involved it's not an attractive deal
