1972 Porsche 911T Targa

Description

Up for sale is a 1972 911T Targa

This car runs and drives and is a great candidate for a no worry driver or an easy inexpensive restoration. Either way...a GREAT investment!

The car body is exceptional. The floors, fender wells, battery boxes are all rust free. It is virtually rust free and needs VERY little repair. After a thorough inspection, the car also appears to have never been in an accident. All the factory welds are intact an unaltered.

As you can see in the pictures, the car received RS bumpers and had rear ducktail spoiler. I removed the ducktail and installed the correct deck lid and grill. I have also removed the RS front bumper and have the correct factory front bumper. At the time the bumpers were added, the car was painted white to replicate the RS look and the seats were recovered in leather with red piping. The car was painted thoroughly in the trunk and jams. My plan was to paint the car its original color, silver metallic and restore the car to original. However the white paint is presentable if you are looking for a driver.

Though the car runs, it does need a few things since it has been sitting for a number of years. The car will need, at a minimum, the following to make it a dependable driver.

Tune up the Webers
Adjust the valves
Replace the plugs and wires.
Replace the blinker switch.
Bleed the brakes and change the pads
Replace the shifter bushings. The car shifts fine but there is a little play in the shifter.

This is a number matching car with a clean and clear title. The number on the case is verified by the COA. The transmission number is tough to read but I am guessing that the transmission has been replaced some time in the cars history. Most of the time the transmission case number is not listed on the COA but on this car it is noted. Looking at the numbers, it doesn't appear they are correct. The car was a factory air car but it has been removed. Additionally, the MFI was removed at some point and Webers were installed. Though they need adjustment, the car fires up and drives every time.

The car is also an exceptional candidate for what I consider a light restoration. A good repaint to the original color, recovering the seats to the original leatherette, have the steering wheel recovered, add door pockets, and complete the other items noted above and you have a great original car that will turn heads at any Porsche event or car show. Plus, as you know, will be a great investment as it continues to climb in value.

The COA is here and will be included in the sale. Below are the options on the car from its original manufacturing date.

10 Black top
80 Silver metallic
11 Black leatherette
C02 US Equipment
400 Light Metal Wheels 6j x 15
185.70.vr15 tires
416 Raised steering wheel hub
453 Blaupunkt Radio Frankfurt US band
470 Comfort Equipment
559 Air Conditioning
Dunlop tires
VIN # 9112111138
Engine # 6122670
Trans # 326368

I also will include the stainless trim that would normally be installed on the exterior of rocker the panel, the blinker switch that needs to be replaced, and the correct radio for the car. I do not have the chrome front and rear bumperettes.

I have displayed a number of photos, to include detailed pictures of the rust areas, in the ad to honestly represent the car. I left some of the surface rust on the car so you can see the cars condition when I bought it. The rust in the floors is simply surface rust. It does not need to be cut out. It simply needs to be scuffed to be removed. I also have the carpet. I just removed it for picture purposes.

I can also send you a flicker link that has over 200 detailed photos of the car. This will give you a great idea of how solid this car is for it's age.

Lastly, I have no problem shipping the car worldwide once full payment is received.

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.

Are you the 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Targa?

Sun, Nov 30 2014

Our spy shooters have caught a strange, mash-up beast wearing a Porsche badge. Superficially, this is a facelift for the 911 Targa that features new bumpers, door handles and a redesigned engine cover, along with new light graphics for the front and rear lights. But have a look around back, and you'll find two inboard exhaust pipes; they aren't right up against each other as on the 911 GT3, but are spaced about five inches apart. The shooters said the first time they saw that arrangement was last winter, on a convertible during testing. We saw it again more recently in spy shots of what was thought to be the 911 GTS coupe prototype at the track. But when the production GTS arrived, it wore the traditional quad-pipe at the corners. The theory put forward by the spy photog: the current GTS has a naturally aspirated engine, but facelifted prototypes they've been seeing all have turbo engines, so this could be the facelifted Targa coming in 2017, after the 991-model 911 gets a refresh. In that case, the GTS coupe prototype at the track would have also been a post-refresh, turbo-engined GTS. It's only a hypothesis, but more than one outlet has reported that Porsche is going all-turbo for the updated 2015 models – the new exhaust position and those 911-Turbo-like vents could be their identifiers. We expect to find out when the lineup is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, possibly codenamed 992 instead of 991.2.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market

Wed, Oct 30 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
