1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Saint Charles, Missouri, United States
|
You are looking at a low mileage, very well taken care of black on black Porsche Targa. I have owned the car for the past 10 years and only driven it on nice summer days. Total mileage is 67,500. The car runs strong and is in excellent mechanical condition. Only known problem is the air conditioner which has a small freon leak in the system. It requires annual freon top off. The car is basically in original condition with the following exceptions. Original functioning catalytic converter was removed and replaced with a stainless steel non functioning assembly (5 HP increase). Original catalytic converter is included with car and can easily be reinstalled if desired. The factory air cleaner was replaced with a Fram high performance filter which also provides a small increase in HP. The original air cleaner is included. The front rotors were replaced with ventilated rotors. OEM brake pads were replaced with high performance brake pads which do not have support the brake wear sensor. If you switch back to OEM brake pads you get the sensor back. The Targa top was recovered and remanufactured about 6 years ago. The original Blaupunkt radio was replaced with an updated Blaupunkt radio which includes a CD player. A center after market arm rest with cup holder was added. OEM floor pedals were replaced in aluminum Porsche logo pedals. Carpet is original and excellent and covered with aftermarket floor mats.
Recent maintenance includes new clutch, new battery, new CV joints, 4 new tires. Both front and rear struts have been replaced within the past 10,000 miles. |

2014 Porsche 911 Targa
Tue, 15 Apr 2014I've watched the electro-hydraulic roof panel open and close about 73 times in the past hour, but its fascinatingly complicated operation still has me mesmerized. I've concluded that only a German automaker - Porsche, to be more specific - would go through the trouble of engineering a roof system that essentially lifts the entire greenhouse off a vehicle, rearranges its components like a sliding-tile puzzle, and then reassembles all of them seamlessly (sans roof panel) to accurately recreate one of its most famed bodystyles.
The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa is a near-perfect modern interpretation of the automaker's 1965 911 Targa, a semi-convertible bodystyle that represents nearly 13 percent of all 911 models sold since production started 50 years ago. While the early car's roof was purely manual in operation - that's the period-correct way of saying that the driver did all of the muscle work - today's Targa is a completely automated transformation that requires only that the driver hold down a cabin-mounted switch for a mere 19 seconds to let the captivating show run its course.
After studying the Targa's elaborate roof operation at its launch at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, I was sufficiently intrigued. To that end, I traveled one-third of the way around the planet to southern Italy, hoping that the Mediterranean climate would reveal a bit more about the reintroduction of the automaker's iconic sports car.
UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
