Re: 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo Wide Body Slant Nose - Demo Car
Man, that thing is cool but the paint is brutal! I wonder who is going to get stuck (I mean have the honor of ) taping up the grille in the whale tail...I know you have a thread somewhere where you did it, Mike...so I'm guessing you won't be volunteering to do it again!

For a car that old with original factory paint that had been well used, it's not that bad.
I expected to see much more damage than that.
It should clean up beautifully. After about 30 hours of backbreaking work

This would be a blast to work on! Always loved the slant nose!

I'm using this car for Detailer's Paint Coating. I might do the paint polishing work before Saturday myself as I have other cars for paint polishing hands-on training.

Fantastic car! When I was a kid we had VW's and the dealership had Porsche inventory and that was exactly my dream car. I can't even tell ya how many times I drew that car. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out which is to say it will be awesome!

So the owner of this car, Mike Gelter, sent me an e-mail with a link to a "similar" Porsche for sale on eBay.
1989 Porsche 930 Turbo
The one on eBay is a few years newer but the same body type, that is a slant nose, wide body Cabriolet and a one-owner car with only 33,000 miles on her.
The ad also says this about the car,
Paint is original; tested with digital paint meter. Nearly flawless with only 7 very minor professionally touched up paint chips.
Sounds like the person selling it knows at least a little about paint quality.
The car is also here in Florida, Fort Myers and the list price is,
$129,000.00
Here's few pictures...
I'm not sure the value of the Porsche sitting in our Show Car Garage right now but it's no beater that's for sure.
I think the people traveling from all over the U.S. for this weekends class are going to have a great time working on this car as well as the rest of the cool cars scheduled for this class.
This is just one of the benefits of attending my classes here at Autogeek... you get to learn on cool cars.... not rentals and demo hoods. I do have ONE daily driver transportation type car here to teach Production Detailing on but the rest are all Special Interest Vehicles, or what I call SIVs. The kind of cars you see on "Car Guy" TV shows like,
Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carini
Gas Monkey Garage with Richard Rawlings
Overhaulin with Chip Foose
Gearz with Stacy David
Just to name a few.
While these shows do the entire build on a car we're not set up to do this type of thing. That said, we do go over the most important part and that's once all the dirty hard work is over it's time to give the kind of cool cars getting built on these TV shows a finish worthy of the car and that's what you get to learn here at Autogeek's Detailing Boot Camp Classes...
Show Car Detailing
Pure and simple.
