I purchased this IM Speedster in 2001 with 12K miles on it and I have only driven it an additional 840 miles.
Since purchasing the car, I have:
* replaced the carbs with dual 40mm Kadrons.
* installed OEM "doghouse" fan shroud & oil cooler.
* replaced the entire front beam & steering box.
* installed new shocks
* installed adjustable rear spring plates.
* replaced wheels, hub caps & tires (165R-15 Kuhmo).
* installed CompuFire ignition.
* replaced rubber trim & badges from Stoddard Porsche.
* converted tear drop tail lights to beehives from Stoddard Porsche & LED bulbs.
* painted in correct 1956 Porsche Ruby Red 2 stage urethane.
* original Porsche 914 gauges replaced with replica 356 gauges from Beck (in Km).
* new carpet from Vintage with DynaMat soundproofing.
* new quality vinyl interior (black w/ gray piping).
* new battery
* new canvas tonneau cover.
Known issues:
* "10' paint job", very slick, but numerous flaws (solvent pops, flaw in body work between tail lights)
* hi beam does not work
* needs a good tuning (mild flat spot off idle).
* needs top, have frame & original top (poor condition).
We are empty nesters looking to downsize & simplify our lives. The house and 3 car garage is being sold.
I have approximately 17.5K invested.
I am hoping to sell the car rapidly, all reasonable offers will be considered.

The car is located in the Greenville, SC area
