Up for sale is my 1983 SC Targa 3.6 Varioram conversion. Regulars to the Pelican site may recognize this as the "Moses Targa", which has many threads dedicated to its high-quality, no expense spared build. I am the third owner of this car, purchased in 2010 after considering a conversion on my own 911SC Coupe (do the math, it's seriously expensive!). I've enjoyed this car immensely during my ownership, and have taken it on many long distance rallies, including the Northeast Mountain Melee in 2013 -- 1300 miles in 3 days, the car ran flawlessly. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere -- arguably one of the most sorted, well done 3.6 conversion cars out there. The car is happy in traffic, around town or on weekend coffee run blasts to the middle of nowhere. The engine pulls strong in all gears and sounds absolutely incredible. No rust or accidents. Excercised regularly on the weekends, always garaged, Covered and obsessed over. Just an awesome car. Certainly not concours, but excellent driver and priced accordingly.
103K on the chassis, approximately 65K on the engine (not sure of true mileage).

The car was treated to a high quality, windows out repaint prior to my ownership. Usual stone chips on the hood and front bumper, a few scratches on the body which the pictures will show. Overall, I'd rate the paint a 8 of 10, it looks fantastic. The rear fender was damaged by the PO's fence and was properly repaired shortly after I received it. GT Racing Front and rear IROC-style bumpers. The front bumper was replaced in 2012 after being backed into by a careless driver when parked. Factory Carrera Wing Bosch Euro H4 conversion with Sucro relay kit 993 aero mirrors Interior: Cobra Misano seats -- Nappa leather with carbon fiber shelled backs. Fully adjustable and tilt for access to rear seating area. Schroth 4 point harnesses -- still retains factory seat belts and receptacles for everyday driving (labels are expired, I've never used the belts) TRE Targa harness bar. Momo Prototipo steering wheel Pioneer stereo with removable faceplate -- honestly, I've never used it! MB Quart speakers Rennline pedals and dead pedal All gauges work properly including the clock -- note it has a 930 tachometer, but no turbo Rear seat backs currently not installed but will come with the car Wevo Classic Shifter Engine/trans: 1997 3.6-liter from C4S (installed in 2005 with 45K miles). Engine has approximately 65K, but not certain of actual mileage. Engine uses about 1 quart every 1000 miles of spirited driving. No smoking or major leaks. Patrick motorsports conversion kit with lightweight flywheel Sachs power clutch B&B polished stainless headers with heat -- sounds incredible!!! High performance cats - car came from California (I cannot guarantee it will pass emissions testing) Custom Dynomax stainless muffer with dual outlets Cytex chip Carbon Fiber RS heater Tube B&B front oil cooler -- car runs 180 degrees all day long Elephant Carrera fender cooler with fan Elephant oil lines K&N air filer New rear axle assemblies in 2013 915 trans with open differential and stock gearing -- shifts great Wheels and tires: 17" (7.5F x 9.0R) Rota Fox wheels in hyperblack Recent Dunlop Direzza Z1 (215F, 255R) Suspension: Smart adjustable 23mm front swaybar: Carrera G50 style rear bar Turbo tie rods Rack spacer kit Elephant monoballs Elephant polybronze control arm bearings Elephant Polybronze rear Spring plate bushings 22mm front and 28mm rear torsion bars with reinforced mounts Reinforced front struts with Koni Sport adjustable front inserts; Koni Sport adjustable rear shocks Control arms modified to accept 993/964 brake deflectors -- currently not installed. Rennline triangulated front strut brace -- tied-in under master cylinder Brakes: Brembo GTP brake kit, F/R -- (Ferrari F40 front, Lotus Esprit V8 rear) 25mm 930 master cylinder Brake fluid flushed in 2013 Minor issues -- don't they all need something?: Some scratches and stone chips on the hood. Minor bubbling of the paint on the rear bumper, caused by exhaust heat. Bezel for the fresh air blower is cracked, I have a replacement with cables that will come with the car. Targa top is showing its age, I typically enjoy the car without it. Top does not leak, but needs a rebuild -- this is factored into my asking price. Two small stress cracks in deckled grille - these were on the car when I purchased it, didn't really bother me. No radio antenna -- I haven't used the radio once. Engine leaves a dime sized drop of oil after a drive, nothing more, nothing less. Car will comes with many extra parts and a custom car cover. I'm happy to answer any questions. Please contact me via email or PM. robertmoran123@gmail.com |

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers
Tue, Oct 6 2015Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:
Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
