1971 Porsche 911t Targa on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
|
1971 Porsche 911 T Targa 2.2. Original color was gold, which can still be seen in a few obscure spots. Zenith carbs. Everything appears original except the side mirrors which a previous owner installed. Not sure about the front nudge bar. Rear window is removed, but in good shape in storage. The car deserves a complete restoration and I don't have the time or money to do it.
I bought the car 14 years ago and it was my daily driver for a couple of years. It was insanely fun to drive, but I realized that the suspension pan was rusting and I took it off the road to weld in new pan. Also painted front suspension parts and gas tank with POR-15. Front is in good shape, but I found that rocker panels were rusted out and needed replacement, as well as the top of the quarter panels where they meet the rear window. I got interested in other things and the car has been sitting all these years. I religiously started it regularly for year after year, but I failed to start it for about a year and I think the carbs have varnished up with old gas. I bought a carb rebuild kit to replace accelerator pumps, but it still wont run right. It will run for a few seconds but won't idle. I think the carbs need a complete rebuild. Floorpans and bottom appear solid. Other minor rust in hood and trunk inner lids and bottom of drivers side fender. Suspension , brakes, electrical, interior in good shape. One heat exchanger is rusted, other is stainless. The car ran great before going into storage other than a syncro problem with second gear. It would have to put it into second very slowly or it would grind. Interior is in good shape considering its over 40 years old. Normal cracks in the dash. Windows and interior controls all work fine. Targa top needs a liner. Car comes with rocker panel parts, rear window, and various odds and ends as can be seen in the photos. Odometer shows 30884, actual mileage is unknown. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli
Wed, 30 Apr 2014The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
