New Old Stock OEM muffler. Transaxle built by Nick Federhoff of Performance Unlimited. Smooth and quiet with great syncros. Nick was an incredible factory trained mechanic who worked in the Porsche factory before he moved to the US in the 60's. This was the last transaxle he built before he died 10 years ago. Rebuilt brakes with new shoes. hoses. wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Replaced all shocks with Koni's. including the steering damper. Four of the five chrome wheels are the date matched originals that came on the car. The chrome on the wheels isn't perfect. but surprisingly nice for over 50 year old wheels. Car is quick. Runs strong to 6200 redline. Drives great. A pleasure to drive. I've owned and enjoyed this car for over 10 years but it's time pass it on to the next person to enjoy.

They are only original once and as much as possible was left as it left the factory. Sold as is with no warranty - express or implied. It is a good car that the new owner will enjoy. but like any major purchase. I would urge the new owner to inspect the car prior to bidding. Transportation responsibility of buyer. but I will assist with pick-up by transporter.
