This four-owner, 92,571-mile Carrera 4 has been well cared for and has been completely restored cosmetically as well as mechanically. Extensive restoration work was done over the course of three years so that the next owner could enjoy trouble-free driving for years to come. From 2020 through 2023, the restoration work included: a complete window out repaint, all new interior, and rubber seals. A complete transmission rebuild by Joe Anselmo Motorsports, LLC that involved new synchros, pinion shaft, main shaft, bearings, gaskets, and shims; the air conditioning system was serviced by B & F Auto Air during which the expansion valve, passenger blend door actuator, and drier were replaced, and the system recharged with R12 refrigerant; the engine was rebuilt by Air Cooled Garage, including the case align bored and reassembled with a billet 964 camshaft, the crankshaft polished, case halves mated and torqued to proper specifications, valves reground and rockers reconditioned, pistons and cylinders cleaned, end gaps set, new rings installed, new chain boxes, ramps, and tensioners installed; and final inspection was completed by Vision Motorsports and driven 1,450 miles since the restoration was completed.
