Below are pictures of my 1977 911 Coupe. The car has about 150K miles on it, and the original 2.7 litre engine was replaced in 1994, at about 120K miles with a 1978 3.0 litre engine out of a 1978 SC.

In 1995, the suspension was rebuilt with all new bushings, lowering, Turbo tie rods, CV joints, 23mm front torsion bars, and 30mm rear torsion bars, a rear Vision Motorsports sway bar, factory short shift kit, 7x15 factory Fuchs all around, with 205-50x15 A032R Yokohama Road Race tires all around except in snow, when I run Bridgestone Blizzak tires. In addition, the brakes were rebuilt, as well as master cylinder, clutch, sealed Optima get battery, Momo steering wheel, etc.

I change the oil and filter every 3-5K miles with Mobil 1 15W-50, and have a full tune-up performed every 12K miles including valve adjustments, changing of transmission oil with Swepco and full-factory inspection check list.

The car is about 1" below standard Euro specs. Some driveways can be tricky.

There is no tail, which is noticable at very high speeds, but for everyday driving, I don't miss it at all.

In the Front Right fender is a B&B radiator type oil cooler, with factory lines coming from the engine. This keeps the oil-temps under 210 deg. C on all but the hottest days.

The car came from the factory with sport suspension, but when I received it, one of the sway bar brackets was broken. I had factory racing reinforced brackets welded on, and a hollow 22mm rear Vision Motorsports sway bar installed.

Another front shot.
