1972 Porsche 911t Targa on 2040-cars
Year:1972
Mileage:113803
Color:
Location:
Marblehead, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a very clean 1972 Porsche 911T Targa that was purchased by its present owner in 1983 and used recreationally in nice weather. 113,803 Original Miles on This Car The current odometer reading is 13,803 miles. The present owner purchased this car with approximately 64,000 miles in 1983 and over the past 31 years has put just under 50,000 miles on the car. The speedometer has turned over once, so the actual mileage on the car is 113,803. The engine had undergone a substantial rebuild just prior to the present owner purchasing the car. Major mechanical work and approximate mileage/date of work is as follows: · 62,000 miles (1982) New pistons and cylinders, new intake and exhaust valves, reconditioned cylinder heads, factory reconditioned mechanical fuel injection pump, new timing chain, tensions, and guards. · 94,000 miles (1996) rebuilt transmission and new clutch · 1998 New stainless steel heater boxes California Car This is a California car and has been owned by the current owner since 1983. It was purchased by the current owner in northern California and was moved to Massachusetts in 1985. It has been used strictly as a summer pleasure car for the past 31 years. There is no rust on this car. The title is a California title. Running But Unused for Several Years The car is presently running and is currently registered for use in Massachusetts but has not had any significant road use for the past five years. It is started and run periodically. It has always smoked when it is started and it has always leaked oil. Both of these issues are common for these cars. The clutch on the car currently hangs until the engine warms up. The cause of this problem is unknown and has not been investigated. Very Clean Car Inside and Out The paint job is good with no dents, scratches, or dings. There are some very small chips on the back edge of the driver’s door, but these are very small and largely unnoticeable. There is a dent in the stainless steel roll bar on the passenger side, and a dent in the passenger side exterior rocker panel just above the bracket for the tire jack. There is some minor pitting in the chrome on the exterior door handles. With the following exceptions the interior is all original, including the dashboard (which is unusual for these old Porsches since the California sun generally cracked them); the radio, the door speakers, and the window cranks have been replaced. The dash and the front seats have been covered to protect them from sun damage for the past 31 years. The seats are vinyl and are in good condition with no damage. The clock is original, but does not work. The Targa top is in good shape, but the headliner in the Targa top is presently sagging and needs to be re-glued. All in all this a really nice car that was purchased 31 years ago to drive recreationally on nice days. It is now and always has been a head-turner. The present owner has reluctantly concluded that it needs a new owner that wants to drive it recreationally or to undertake a restoration to make it truly pristine. |

Porsche spotted testing next 911 GT3 in its natural habitat
Wed, Mar 16 2016Want a Porsche 911 GT3? Well too bad, because they're all sold out – and from what we hear, they have been for a while. But don't worry, there'll be another one coming soon. And here's our first look at it. Based on the updated 991, the new GT3 may be one of the few variations on the theme that won't be going turbocharged. It may, however, get a three-pedal manual transmission – possibly the six-speed from the 911 R as opposed to the seven from the Carrera. That is, at least, if the tinkerers in Weissach perk up their ears and listen to what their most enthusiastic customers have been saying. Because while the dual-clutch PDK may be faster, the GT3 has traditionally been as much about the driving experience as it has about outright pace. As it's mostly wearing the bodywork of the outgoing GT3, there's unfortunately little to be seen from this prototype spotted testing at the Nurburgring in one of the first (mostly) thawed test sessions of the season. But you can expect the new model to blend elements from the old GT3 with the revisions made to the new 911. And with it, expect a bit more power and a bit more performance from the latest iteration of a driving enthusiasts' favorite. We're told to expect the new 911 GT3 to hit dealers some time next year. There may or may not be a GT3 RS to follow, but from what we've seen, there ought to be an even faster GT2 RS entering the mix before long as well.
PSA: Mark Webber can't text and drive and neither should you
Mon, Nov 16 2015Texting and driving is dangerous. You shouldn't do it. We really can't stress that enough. But if you won't listen to us, maybe you'll listen to Mark Webber. The Australian driver is one of the most accomplished in motor racing. As Sebastian Vettel's former wingman at Red Bull, he won nine Formula One grands prix and scored over a thousand championship points. And now as the headline driver in Porsche's endurance racing program, he and his teammates behind the wheel of the 919 Hybrid are currently in the lead to win the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship with just one round to go. Suffice it to say, then, that he knows a thing or two about the concentration it takes to drive. And it doesn't involve looking at your phone while doing so. To drive that point home (so to speak), he and Porsche put together this little public service announcement. It shows a distracted Webber piloting a 911 GT3 Cup around the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates, messing up his racing line, missing his apices, spinning out, and nearly trashing the thing. Does the idea of looking at your phone while lapping a race track strikes you as ludicrous? Well, it should. But then, at the risk of coming across as preachy, so should the idea of texting while driving. Because if a racing driver should know better, so should you. Don't take our word for it, though... take it from Mark in the video above.
Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
