First off - this is a real 1971 Porsche 911S Targa. It came to the US via Canada originally delivered in Germany. It runs and drives

It has a clear transferable NYS registration (NY does not use titles before 1974). The Title lists the car as a 1970. May have been an early 71 delivery?

It features the rarer Recaro leather sport seats, it is a 5 speed with a very presentable targa roof. It sports Weber carbs (more on this later) and runs well. It is currently on the road and does need a few items.

This car, using completed current resales for the rare 911S model deserves a full restoration and is quite worthy of it. It has the best 'bones' I've seen on a 911 of it's vintage - the underside id completely clean - the floor pans, rockers, battery boxes, suspension mounts - everything - looks to be 100% original. As as far as I know this car has never seen winter.

Some background:

The car came to me via Canada. The previous owner (PO) bought it from a fellow Canadian (PPO) who brought it over from Germany. The information is that while in Germany the car's engine was destroyed and it was brought to Canada sans a motor. The PPO had a replacement engine put in that was built to 'S' specs (cams. etc). It does not have the injection system and the motor is not stamped with a serial #. I have obtained the Porsche C of A and have the correct motor # so if some lucky soul has that engine this car is priceless to you! For all others it is extremely valuable. The car is now painted white but as can be seen in a photo it was originally orange.

Here's what the C of A says:

1971 911S Targa

Production date: information not available

MSRP: information not available

Optional Equipment: Antenna - Left w/ Loudspeaker & Noise suppression, Tinted Glass, foglights (missing)

Engine number: 6310395

Transmission #: information not available

Exterior Paint color/code: Tangerine/ 23

Interior Matl: Black Leatherette/ 11

What it has:

sport seats, 5 speed trans, later AM/FM/CD but includes what we think is the original radio. The PO or PPO blacked out the chrome trim bit it's all there under the overcoat and the area I exposed looks great. All the trim is overpainted but underneath it's in very good shape. The dashboard is virtually brand new - it's NOT a coverlay it's a brand new dash - I think it's from a later model as it has no dash script. Has 4 Fuchs alloys and spare wheel in the trunk. It has a fiberglass front bumper instead of OEM.

What it needs to be 'driver':

* Paint is there - was touched up and looks a panel or two was repainted in the past.

* Rubber hoses on brake lines need to be replaced - they've swollen up almost shut. I replaced worst one.

* Carb balance, timing

* door pockets are there but rough - new ones available now but they are pricey - but car is deserving

* electrical work - wiring to senders, etc. PPO installing replacement engine did some wiring that is less than 'correct'.

* Targa top inside material loose - should be re-glued up.

Here's a standard Good/ Bad list (nothing's ugly here!)

- no rust issues ever (some surface rust as shown but underside is very very good)

- 'S" aluminum brake calipers

- proper oil cooling setup

- H1 headlights (one side H4 lense)

- Euro gauges (KM speedo) as expected

- front sway bar

- recaro leather sport seats

- original radio (?) included

- leather headrests

- near perfect dash

- 16" wheels, non-matching tires and non-matching spare wheel (14")

- needs door pockets BUT has new door cards

- needs one window crank handle

- missing trombone oil cooler

- missing one horn.

- replacement motor, non-injected but Weber powered.

- purported rebuild to 'S' specs.

Well there it is, I've made a great effort to be as up-front as possible on all I've seen on this car. This is an opportunity to own a truly skyrocketing collectible'

I'm not going to go into "911S history" or a dissertation of current values but the true 911/ 911S aficionado knows the car and it's value now and after a restoration.

Please don't ask about the reserve - it's reasonable for the car as is now.

Any questions? Send me a mail with your phone # and I'll get back to you.

Good luck and Happy bidding!

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.

Ferrari Speciale and Porsche GT3 make the trip to Le Mans

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Call it a pilgrimage. Call it a right of passage. The bottom line is that every racing fan should make the trip to Le Mans at some point. All the better if you can do it in style, as Evo has for this latest video. Instead of taking any old car through the Chunnel and along the French countryside to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Evo made the trip in the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3. Both are more extreme versions of the already capable sports cars. They're still naturally aspirated, drive the rear wheels through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and both won top honors in Evo's car of the year awards upon their release. And we could hardly imagine better vehicles for the journey. Along the way, the convoy-of-two stopped by the side of the old Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. Back in the 1950s and 60s it was regarded as one of Europe's finest street circuits, hosting the French Grand Prix five times. It was closed down and paved over in the decades that followed, and is today part of a public thoroughfare – but you can still drive around it and see some of the relics of its former self peering through.
