Porsche 911t Targa - '71 Driver Project - Investment You Can Enjoy This Summer on 2040-cars

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 – 768^th US Targa for 1971, 1096^th 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.
