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.

Porsche slathers Martini livery on 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

This is how we imagine the conversation went in Porsche's Stuttgart headquarters: "Martini livery. Martini livery all the things." Okay, so maybe not, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from showing off images of its entire lineup bearing the iconic racing livery.
While we aren't sure about the questionably yellow 911 and lime green Macan, the navy blue Cayenne and the white Panamera both look pretty spectacular as they lap about the streets of Sochi, Russia.
As for why the liveried sports cars and crossovers were at the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, we aren't totally sure. Porsche's Facebook page, where the images first popped up, was really light on details. Whatever the reason, we fully support Porsche doing more with Martini livery. Take a look at the full gallery to see what we mean.

These were our favorite cars of 2022

Tue, Dec 20 2022

Favorite cars is different than best cars. The idea of "best" can speak to value and overall competitiveness in a given vehicle segment. There's lots of objectivity involved and to do a "best" list right, one really must be very thorough and as scientific as possible. This is not that list. This is about our favorites, so objectivity be damned. If we liked a Challenger Hellcat because it made loud noises or a Honda Odyssey because it made for a particularly special family vacation, fair game. These were the cars that most spoke to our collection of editors and the ones that stayed in our minds and hung in our hearts long after they left our driveway. — Senior Editor James Riswick 2022 GMC Hummer EV Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: I didn't particularly expect to like the new Hummer. I wasn't a fan of the Hummer H2 or H3, so I wasn't automatically enthusiastic about this electric reboot. Fast EVs aren't hard to come by — and, in fact, may be too easy to come by — so its performance specs weren't enough to win me over. Despite videos to the contrary, pickups aren't my favorite vehicular format. And its excessive size and weight turned me off ... until I finally got behind the wheel.  This thing is wildly entertaining to drive. Watts to Freedom launch control is a neat party trick, sure, but the novelty wears off quickly. The novelty of Crab Walk, however, has staying power. The rear-wheel steering makes this behemoth feel much smaller than it is — the maneuverability is incredible, and useful. The air suspension provides tons of clearance, including a ridiculously high-riding Extract mode. I can't wait for lesser versions of the Hummer to make their way to market. Give me less power (for less money), but keep the off-road tricks onboard, and I'll be a happy camper. Senior Editor, Consumer, Jeremy Korzeniewski: If I could afford to put one of these in my driveway, I would. Sadly, I can't, so I won't (What's that, Janet? I got the lyric wrong?). Still, I love the dumb thing. Thankfully, I have another choice down below. 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Associate Editor Byron Hurd: Yeah, duh, Porsches are good. But there's good, and then there's GT3. This is the feeling every performance-oriented RWD tuner is trying to replicate. This is hard, precise, surgical and immensely satisfying. To begin to explore this car on a public road is by itself an admission that you believe yourself to be above the rules as they apply to normal drivers.
