So needless to say, I am sad to see her go (too many toys in the garage!), but at the same time, I am excited for the winning bidder to enjoy. A final comment for interested buyers - Ralphs Porsche conducted a leakdown and compression test and the numbers were \"perfect\" all the way across. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the paperwork, but I contacted Ralphs and they offered to rerun the tests for the winning bidder at no cost so that you have the documentation along with the car.

Back in the day, the skittle colors were popular in Europe, but not in the states. So colors like this often sat in the dealer for a long time. In the early years they were even titled as the year they were sold, not when they were made. So, if this was still in the dealer's inventory when the mandate came down to have the equipment installed for all new cars, they would have been swapped by the dealer and sold to the first owner in this configuration and never changed. It could have also stood out as old inventory without them once the change occurred. The oil door was also unpopular because people didn't and often couldn't put gas in their own car in those days, and morons at the pump damaged many 72 911s pumping gas into the oil tank.
