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. |

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
Scroll down and have a look at the latest episode of After/Drive, from Drive.
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
