1973 Porsche 911t Targa In Aubergine Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Sparta, Tennessee, United States
|
1973 Porsche 911T Targa. Matching numbers car perfect for full restoration. Original Aubergine painted car. Car is suppose to have low miles with the odometer reading 27,182. I have no documentation proving this, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. No guarantee on actual mileage. The undercarriage is clean and the motor does not have much buildup on it suggesting the mileage to be accurate.
I do have the original manuals to the car including the original service manual that came with the car when purchased new. I also have the paperwork where the original owner sold it to the second owner in 74 through a Cadillac dealer in Huntsville, Alabama. The car, from what I was told, was parked in the 80s and sat out in the elements for a number of years. It has been in storage for the last 10 years before I bought it out of Alabama. Original 2.4 injected motor with 5spd transmission option. The motor is locked up and had the spark plugs out when I purchased the car. It is complete and does not appear to be missing any parts. Still has a factory Porsche fan belt on it. The body is very straight and all gaps are perfect. No evidence of any previous damage and the car is still wearing what is left of the original paint. There is surface rust on the car and the worst is on the drivers door. The body would require very little work to prepare it for paint. The front suspension is in great shape for a car of it's age. Even the rubber on the tie rods and ball joints are in good shape with no cracks. There is a small amount of rust up front as shown in the picture and the left tow hood has been pulled off the body (I do have the hook). Both battery boxes are perfect along with the front pan. Even the stash box up front in the truck in rust free. Where the car needs the most work is the floor pans from the Targa top deteriorating from sitting outside. Also the tunnel above the shift linkage will need work. The drivers seat back is missing, but other than that the interior is complete with original radio as well. The spare tire does not look like it has ever been mounted. There are two boxes of original brake pads (probably not usable due to age). Original jack and negative battery cables. The original wheels have been replaced long ago with a set of Dan Gurney aluminum wheels. I do not have the original set of wheels. The car probably came with 15x6" cookie cutters. Overall this is a fairly easy restoration project of a very original car. Great color and the last of the desirable years. I have a clear title ready for the next owner to take over. More pictures available. The car is listed locally. I hold the right to cancel the auction early as long as the reserve has not been met. If the reserve has been met, the auction will go to the highest bidder. Thank you. |

Porsche announces four flavors of updated Cayenne [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014The new Macan may be getting all the attention lately, but Porsche hasn't forgotten about its larger crossover - the one that put it on the map in 2002 and on the road to profitability, with over half a million sold so far. So to keep the Cayenne at the top of its game, Porsche has announced several key upgrades for the 2015 model.
For starters, Porsche has updated the Cayenne's appearance with new front- and rear-end styling. The front bumper, fenders and hood are entirely new, with air fins flanking the nose to direct air into the intercoolers (each model now being artificially aspirated), and new bi-xenon headlamps and daytime running LEDs on every model but the Turbo, which goes all-LED. Around back there's also new taillights, tailgate handle, lower rear fascia and exhaust pipes. Meanwhile the interior has been upgraded with a 918-derived sport steering wheel and reformed rear seats with available ventilation.
The bigger news is under the engine bay, where Porsche is offering four choices. The base model is gone as the range starts with the Cayenne Diesel, followed by the Cayenne S, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo. The Diesel model carries over the same 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 240 horsepower. The Cayenne S however packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that's similar to the one found in the Macan Turbo and packs the same 406 lb-ft of torque but more power at 420 hp, 20 more than either its little brother or the model it replaces to reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.
Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center
Sat, 19 Oct 2013In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.
Chris Harris condemns demonization of Porsche Carrera GT in wake of Walker death
Fri, 06 Dec 2013When something bad happens, it's easy to resort to scapegoating. At least for some of us, that seems to be exactly what has happened following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas, who were killed on November 30 in a Porsche Carrera GT. Even though officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash, that isn't stopping many theories from being put for - theories that include blaming the Porsche supercar. Rather predictably, not only is the CGT's difficult nature getting examined, but indeed, the nature of all high-performance cars is being put under the public's microscope, with some wondering what the need for all the power is.
A Google search of "Porsche Carrera GT" will find no shortage of articles about the razor-sharp handling and outright speed of the CGT. Pistonheads' Chris Harris has a different, insightful take on both the Carrera GT and the nature of all fast cars. He reflects on the matter, ironically, en route to drive the successor to the car that killed Walker and Rodas, the 900-horsepower 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
We think it's well worth a read, as it makes a number of good points about modern high-performance automobiles and the way they're used. Click over and take a look.
