1971 911s Porsche Targa on 2040-cars
Victor, New York, United States
|
First off - this is a real 1971 Porsche 911S Targa. It came to the US via Canada originally delivered in Germany. It runs and drives
It has a clear transferable NYS registration (NY does not use titles before 1974). The Title lists the car as a 1970. May have been an early 71 delivery? It features the rarer Recaro leather sport seats, it is a 5 speed with a very presentable targa roof. It sports Weber carbs (more on this later) and runs well. It is currently on the road and does need a few items. This car, using completed current resales for the rare 911S model deserves a full restoration and is quite worthy of it. It has the best 'bones' I've seen on a 911 of it's vintage - the underside id completely clean - the floor pans, rockers, battery boxes, suspension mounts - everything - looks to be 100% original. As as far as I know this car has never seen winter. Some background: The car came to me via Canada. The previous owner (PO) bought it from a fellow Canadian (PPO) who brought it over from Germany. The information is that while in Germany the car's engine was destroyed and it was brought to Canada sans a motor. The PPO had a replacement engine put in that was built to 'S' specs (cams. etc). It does not have the injection system and the motor is not stamped with a serial #. I have obtained the Porsche C of A and have the correct motor # so if some lucky soul has that engine this car is priceless to you! For all others it is extremely valuable. The car is now painted white but as can be seen in a photo it was originally orange. Here's what the C of A says: 1971 911S Targa Production date: information not available MSRP: information not available Optional Equipment: Antenna - Left w/ Loudspeaker & Noise suppression, Tinted Glass, foglights (missing) Engine number: 6310395 Transmission #: information not available Exterior Paint color/code: Tangerine/ 23 Interior Matl: Black Leatherette/ 11 What it has: sport seats, 5 speed trans, later AM/FM/CD but includes what we think is the original radio. The PO or PPO blacked out the chrome trim bit it's all there under the overcoat and the area I exposed looks great. All the trim is overpainted but underneath it's in very good shape. The dashboard is virtually brand new - it's NOT a coverlay it's a brand new dash - I think it's from a later model as it has no dash script. Has 4 Fuchs alloys and spare wheel in the trunk. It has a fiberglass front bumper instead of OEM. What it needs to be 'driver': * Paint is there - was touched up and looks a panel or two was repainted in the past. * Rubber hoses on brake lines need to be replaced - they've swollen up almost shut. I replaced worst one. * Carb balance, timing * door pockets are there but rough - new ones available now but they are pricey - but car is deserving * electrical work - wiring to senders, etc. PPO installing replacement engine did some wiring that is less than 'correct'. * Targa top inside material loose - should be re-glued up. Here's a standard Good/ Bad list (nothing's ugly here!) - no rust issues ever (some surface rust as shown but underside is very very good) - 'S" aluminum brake calipers - proper oil cooling setup - H1 headlights (one side H4 lense) - Euro gauges (KM speedo) as expected - front sway bar - recaro leather sport seats - original radio (?) included - leather headrests - near perfect dash - 16" wheels, non-matching tires and non-matching spare wheel (14") - needs door pockets BUT has new door cards - needs one window crank handle - missing trombone oil cooler - missing one horn. - replacement motor, non-injected but Weber powered. - purported rebuild to 'S' specs. Well there it is, I've made a great effort to be as up-front as possible on all I've seen on this car. This is an opportunity to own a truly skyrocketing collectible' I'm not going to go into "911S history" or a dissertation of current values but the true 911/ 911S aficionado knows the car and it's value now and after a restoration. Please don't ask about the reserve - it's reasonable for the car as is now. Any questions? Send me a mail with your phone # and I'll get back to you. Good luck and Happy bidding! |

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala
Mon, 16 Dec 2013That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.
