1972 Porsche 911t Targa on 2040-cars
Marblehead, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a very clean 1972 Porsche 911T Targa that was purchased by its present owner in 1983 and used recreationally in nice weather. 113,803 Original Miles on This Car The current odometer reading is 13,803 miles. The present owner purchased this car with approximately 64,000 miles in 1983 and over the past 31 years has put just under 50,000 miles on the car. The speedometer has turned over once, so the actual mileage on the car is 113,803. The engine had undergone a substantial rebuild just prior to the present owner purchasing the car. Major mechanical work and approximate mileage/date of work is as follows: · 62,000 miles (1982) New pistons and cylinders, new intake and exhaust valves, reconditioned cylinder heads, factory reconditioned mechanical fuel injection pump, new timing chain, tensions, and guards. · 94,000 miles (1996) rebuilt transmission and new clutch · 1998 New stainless steel heater boxes California Car This is a California car and has been owned by the current owner since 1983. It was purchased by the current owner in northern California and was moved to Massachusetts in 1985. It has been used strictly as a summer pleasure car for the past 31 years. There is no rust on this car. The title is a California title. Running But Unused for Several Years The car is presently running and is currently registered for use in Massachusetts but has not had any significant road use for the past five years. It is started and run periodically. It has always smoked when it is started and it has always leaked oil. Both of these issues are common for these cars. The clutch on the car currently hangs until the engine warms up. The cause of this problem is unknown and has not been investigated. Very Clean Car Inside and Out The paint job is good with no dents, scratches, or dings. There are some very small chips on the back edge of the driver’s door, but these are very small and largely unnoticeable. There is a dent in the stainless steel roll bar on the passenger side, and a dent in the passenger side exterior rocker panel just above the bracket for the tire jack. There is some minor pitting in the chrome on the exterior door handles. With the following exceptions the interior is all original, including the dashboard (which is unusual for these old Porsches since the California sun generally cracked them); the radio, the door speakers, and the window cranks have been replaced. The dash and the front seats have been covered to protect them from sun damage for the past 31 years. The seats are vinyl and are in good condition with no damage. The clock is original, but does not work. The Targa top is in good shape, but the headliner in the Targa top is presently sagging and needs to be re-glued. All in all this a really nice car that was purchased 31 years ago to drive recreationally on nice days. It is now and always has been a head-turner. The present owner has reluctantly concluded that it needs a new owner that wants to drive it recreationally or to undertake a restoration to make it truly pristine. |

2015 Porsche 911 GTS starts at $114,200*
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Purists often criticize Porsche for creating products like the Cayenne, Panamera and recently launched Macan, saying they dilute the true sports car spirit of the brand. It's an argument we've heard before, and one we counter with two points. First: No they don't. And second: These are Porsche's volume superstars, and the money they rake in allows the company to create dozens of versions of its well-liked sports cars. Want proof? Have a look at the gallery above, where you'll see four new versions of the 911, all with GTS badges on their rumps. This means Porsche now offers 19 versions of the 911. Nineteen.
Porsche offered a GTS version of the 911 in its previous generation, and this new one seeks to slot somewhere between the standard car and the hardcore GT3. It's available in coupe and cabriolet forms, with either rear- or all-wheel drive, starting at $114,200, *not including $995 for destination. The GTS Cabriolet comes in at $126,100, while models equipped with AWD will set you back $120,900 or $132,800 for the coupe or convertible, respectively.
All GTS models get the 430-horsepower version of the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six with the Powerkit, which also includes the Sport Chrono package and the sport exhaust. If equipped with the PDK dual-clutch transmission, the 911 GTS will hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds (or four seconds flat, if you've got the Cabriolet) - one tenth of a second quicker than the normal Carrera S. The car's top speed varies, depending on trim or transmission, but Porsche says the car will hit anywhere from 187 to 190 mph, flat out.
Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.
Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later
Tue, 15 Jul 2014If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.
