best and most aggressive body styled 911 to this day. With surging
demand for vintage Porsche�s, and one of the few marquee�s gaining
value, well sorted cars with excellent owner history such as this
will always have a demand. The M491 non-turbo cars have gained much
respect among collectors and enthusiasts alike as they are a much
more balanced than is turbo charged cousin, and possess the pure
drivability that Porsche has long been famous for. This one off,
special order Carrera possesses excellent owner history and
provenance. Documentation includes COA,TITLE or pink slip, original
order, correspondence between all parties encompassing: vehicle
order, order changes, original dealer invoice, importation,
transportation, and delivery. The car was recently converted from
