1971 Porsche 911T Targa – Chassis 9111110767 – Engine 6115097

I plan to bring this car to Hershey swap meet 4/19.  More photos and information will be added to my web site at http://cars.autolinc.us/2168411 as questions get asked and I get time to respond.

No COA yet but probably matching engine – 768th US Targa for 1971, 1096th US 911T engine for 1971. I recently bought this car out of 6 year storage, and will sell it as a good, drivable project.  Only some patch welding and minor assembly work is needed to make this a legal driver. 

Some of the attractive features of the car are: 

·         Original color is very rare - 8310-11 Light Metallic Green

·         AC car originally with most parts saved

·         Excellent  engine, transmission, brakes

·         Most typical rust areas are sound, never rusted

·         New carpets and RS door cards come with the car

·         Standard Recaro comfort seats in excellent condition

·         Nice 15” Fuchs – 6”&8” rim widths

·         Driver door still pings

·         Excellent panel and door alignment and gaps

·         Original floor pan un-rusted for the most part

·         SSI heat exchangers with a new Bursch exhaust

As received it took little effort to get into drivable condition.  It was running when stored, and apparently put away properly.  The mileage showing is 71K.  The current color is a very dark metallic red/brown  (black cherry). The first test drive showed the engine had plenty of power, more than expected (goes like stink! – may have been upgraded), the transmission shifts easily, with good synchromesh, and the brakes worked well with no prior refreshing.  Compression after 6 years storage and no prior run-in is #1-133 2-125 3-128 4-140 5-120 6-135.  This should improve with use.

Negative issues are as follows.  Interior upholstery and some panels are out and need to be installed. The front pan needs repair as one front suspension mounting point is weak.  The metal between the floor and passenger side rocker needs replacement.  There is some patching of the inner rocker on this side.  There are two small spots with bubbling paint on the driver side front fender.  The targa top needs full restoration but is mechanically sound.  There is the typical dash crack.  Rear fender flares are fiberglass and look decent, but one area needs surface smoothing.  A small area of attachment needs to be re-bonded.  The rear license plate panel area has been filled in.  An RS style front fiberglass bumper and a glass 930 style spoiler are mounted.  No records came with the car.

The car drives great right now with a dealer plate.  It could be your perfect, affordable entry into ownership of a rare and rapidly appreciating Porsche.  Drive it now, get to know it, then restore it when you have collected the parts and money to do the job right and make it exactly what you want.

PLEASE NOTE

If you have less than 5 feedbacks you MUST contact me or your bid will be cancelled. A $1000 deposit is required within 48 hours of auction closing,  This car is being offered through other advertising media to the public and may be withdrawn from the auction if I receive a satisfactory offer at any time.

The car is sold with a transferable NY State registration as titles were not used here in 1971.  Included will be a NY dealer bill of sale MV-50. I have had no problems with this in other sales to US states.

I will be happy to assist in loading and shipping arrangements, but I am not responsible for your being able to register the car in your state or country - it is your responsibility to determine what your local requirements are.

Best electric sedans of 2024

Wed, Jan 31 2024

While the American automotive trends tend to lean toward SUVs and trucks, and sedans seem to be dying out, there are some great four-doors out there in the EV market. They may not have the bulk, the high vantage point, or the storage capacity of the utes, but some folks still want a car that’s, well, a car. A sedan might not always have as much room to cram in a big battery pack, either, but they also donÂ’t weigh as much. They tend to be more lithe, sexy and agile. And theyÂ’re generally cheaper than their bigger brethren, too, though some of the full-size luxury sedans can still get well into six-figure pricing. If thatÂ’s not your thing, you can check out the best electric SUVs, but if youÂ’ve read this far, you probably enjoy sedans as much as us. WeÂ’ve tested quite a few, and these are the best electric sedans of 2024.   Best electric sedans below $60,000 Tesla Model 3 — $40,380 The Tesla Model 3 is one of just two sedans (along with the Hyundai Ioniq 6) to make it onto our list of best EVs under $50,000. ItÂ’s quite the value, too, with a starting price of just $40,380. ItÂ’s also fun to drive. Yes, it has some quirks, including too many vehicle functions residing exclusively in infotainment menus, but the Model 3's idiosyncrasies are easy to forgive based on its price and range, and they're things you can quickly get used to or possibly even appreciate. No wonder this EV is so popular.   Hyundai Ioniq 6 — $43,565 Of the sedans on this list, the Ioniq 6 is one of the most affordable (starting at $43,565), and one of the best. ItÂ’s quite efficient, with long driving range — up to 361 miles. Its cabin is creative in its design while being practical and comfortable. Interestingly, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the sportiest version of Hyundai and KiaÂ’s E-GMP cars, apart from the high-performance Kia EV6 GT. Its design, value, range, fast charging and other useful tech easily make it one of best electric sedans you can buy.   BMW i4 — $53,195 Though the BMW i4 is essentially an electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, this EV sedan is something special. ItÂ’s packed with power and great driving dynamics in true BMW style. The rear-drive i4 eDrive40 is one quick car, but the i4 M50 is ridiculously fast. If you can get past the questionable nose and the iDrive 8 infotainment system, the i4 is an electric sleeper, and a performance bargain.

Porsche planning jacked-up 911 Safari? [w/poll]

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

The Porsche 911 may, for some, be the quintessential sportscar. And that typically means keeping it on paved roads and racing circuits. But there's a proud history to taking the Elfen off-road that traces back to specially-prepared 911s (like the one pictured above) which Porsche fielded in rallies in the late '70s and early '80s. And now Porsche is reportedly preparing to tap back into that history with a new off-road 911 model, according to the Auto Bild Motor Revue.
Tipped to be called the 911 Safari, the special variant would be based on the Carrera 4 but upgrade with bigger tires fitted to a beefed-up suspension with higher ground clearance and underbody skid plates. The model is expected to be presented initially as a concept at the Beijing Motor Show next April. But if enough interest is expressed - particularly from buyers in developing markets where the roads might not be as smooth as those to which North American and European drivers have become accustomed - Stuttgart could put it into production in 2016, when the current 991 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh.
