1971 911s Porsche Targa on 2040-cars
Victor, New York, United States
|
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! |

Mercedes-AMG GT vs. Porsche 911 [w/poll]
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz designed the AMG GT to compete head-on with the Porsche 911. It's a clear, singular purpose, and Benz brings a lot of money, technology and race-bred expertise to the fight.
The AMG GT is Merc's followup to the awesome SLS AMG, the retro-modern, gullwing-doored coupe that took us by storm half a decade ago. But this new GT coupe is a more focused sports car than the SLS, rather than an all out supercar capable of extreme performance. It's got a brand-new V8 engine, and state-of-the-art technology that help it to not only be a proper Mercedes, but to be a serious performer.
Mercedes will sell its new baby in two models. The GT S arrives first, in spring 2015, followed by the standard GT in mid-2016. Of course, there's room to grow from there. And while Porsche may have already expanded its 911 range to include a vast variety of models, here's how Stuttgart's icon stacks up against Affalterbach's bad boy.
Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
