1973 Porsche 911T Targa.  Matching numbers car perfect for full restoration. Original Aubergine painted car. Car is suppose to have low miles with the odometer reading 27,182.  I have no documentation proving this, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  No guarantee on actual mileage.  The undercarriage is clean and the motor does not have much buildup on it suggesting the mileage to be accurate.
I do have the original manuals to the car including the original service manual that came with the car when purchased new.  I also have the paperwork where the original owner sold it to the second owner in 74 through a Cadillac dealer in Huntsville, Alabama.  The car, from what I was told, was parked in the 80s and sat out in the elements for a number of years.  It has been in storage for the last 10 years before I bought it out of Alabama.
Original 2.4 injected motor with 5spd transmission option.  The motor is locked up and had the spark plugs out when I purchased the car.  It is complete and does not appear to be missing any parts.  Still has a factory Porsche fan belt on it.
The body is very straight and all gaps are perfect.  No evidence of any previous damage and the car is still wearing what is left of the original paint.  There is surface rust on the car and the worst is on the drivers door.  The body would require very little work to prepare it for paint.  The front suspension is in great shape for a car of it's age.  Even the rubber on the tie rods and ball joints are in good shape with no cracks.  There is a small amount of rust up front as shown in the picture and the left tow hood has been pulled off the body (I do have the hook).  Both battery boxes are perfect along with the front pan.  Even the stash box up front in the truck in rust free.  
Where the car needs the most work is the floor pans from the Targa top deteriorating from sitting outside.  Also the tunnel above the shift linkage will need work.  The drivers seat back is missing, but other than that the interior is complete with original radio as well.  
The spare tire does not look like it has ever been mounted.  There are two boxes of original brake pads (probably not usable due to age).  Original jack and negative battery cables.  
The original wheels have been replaced long ago with a set of Dan Gurney aluminum wheels.  I do not have the original set of wheels.  The car probably came with 15x6" cookie cutters.
Overall this is a fairly easy restoration project of a very original car.  Great color and the last of the desirable years.
I have a clear title ready for the next owner to take over.  More pictures available. 

The car is listed locally.   I hold the right to cancel the auction early as long as the reserve has not been met.  If the reserve has been met, the auction will go to the highest bidder.
Thank you.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.

Porsche Macan teaser reveals unique quad-LEDs

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

In truth, all-but-undisguised prototypes for the upcoming Porsche Macan compact crossover have been spotted galavanting all around the globe for some time now, but even the least-camouflaged examples have been caught wearing eyepatches covering their headlights and taillights. A dark new teaser image from Porsche clues us in to why that is - the baby Cayenne is getting unique quad-LED peepers up front.
Porsche has been hinting at lighting innovations in its production cars through recent concept reveals, including the stunning Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo showcar from last year's Paris Motor Show. The wagonized Panamera also featured four-point LED arrays up front, as well is in the rear, so it seems likely that this lighting will become a Porsche design signature going forward.
Powerpoint slides leaked from a recent dealer meeting suggest the Macan S will arrive packing a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will boast a 3.6-liter force-fed unit, with both models receiving seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearboxes. Pricing is expected to range from $52,000 for the S model to $75,000 for the Turbo.

Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep

Fri, Dec 12 2014

If you haven't looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. Launched around the time of the 911, the 912 shared its body but retained the four-cylinder engine from the 356, rather than the new six. The older mill helped make the 912 cheaper to buy, but it also tarnished the coupe in the eyes of Porsche fans for years. Much like the four-cylinder 914 and 924, the 912 just seemed like a black sheep in the shadow of its more powerful brother. Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents' neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model's stigma is wearing off.
