Up for sale is a beautiful, very well kept and maintained 74 Mexico blue targa. This car has had the same owner for the last 28 years and used as a summertime toy all of that time. The car has been maintained and repaired when needed including a transmission rebuild, all new brake calipers, rotors and pads, carrera chain tensioner update, clutch, flywheel, and lots more. Invoices totaling over $10,000 in the last 5,000 miles.

The car was repainted once approximately 12 years ago and has some nicks, scratches and a few small surface rust spots, overall a good driver quality job, I would rate it a 7 out of 10, it certainly doesn't need to be repainted but you may want to touch up a few areas if you want it really nice. The interior is near perfect and I would rate it a 9 out of 10. There is no rust under the car at the suspension points or on the floor or rocker panels, there is a little surface rust around the battery tray but nothing substantial.

HERE'S THE BAD NEWS!
Unfortunately the common problem of broken head studs has surfaced and the engine will need to be rebuilt or replaced. The car runs and drives but has a noticeable compression leak under load.
My first thought was to replace the engine with a newer 3.0 or 3.2 engine and then sell the car finished but because these cars can be more valuable as original and matching #'s I thought I would leave that decision up to the new owner.
Please contact me if you have more questions about the engine as I am very familiar with these cars.

Please look at the pictures as I have tried to show all of the flaws as well as all of the good. Overall this is a very nice car that is worthy of repair, and one that you can get into cheap and fix at your leisure.

Thanks for looking, contact me to answer questions, and I will be happy to assist with shipping after arrangements have been made.

Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.

1989 Porsche 911 Turbo rolls out of Harry's Garage

Sun, May 31 2015

It's getting increasing hard not to feel a little envious of Harry Metcalfe's collection of vehicles, especially with his latest purchase. He now owns the trinity of '80s European supercars with an '87 Lamborghini Countach, an '87 Ferrari Testarossa, and the recent addition of an '89 Porsche 911 Turbo. With the other two already featured in videos, the example from Stuttgart gets the focus in Metcalfe's latest clip. These turbos have a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive, and according to Metcalfe that notoriety isn't entirely undeserved. With no power steering, floor-mounted pedals, oddly placed controls and lots of turbo lag, this era of 911 Turbo is difficult to master. However, it's a wonderful challenge that really engages the driver, according to Metcalfe. While a very different vehicle from the Countach or Testarossa, it's clear that this 911 Turbo is still a beloved member in Metcalfe's trio of '80s supercars. Let him give you a detailed explanation why in this video.

Xcar considers the Porsche 911 GT3's PDK

Fri, May 29 2015

Porsche ruffled some feathers when it unveiled the latest 911 GT3 a couple of years ago with a dual-clutch transmission instead of an old-school manual. The rationale was (and remains) that the PDK makes the enthusiast's Elfen faster than it would be with a stick. The purists scoffed, but Zuffenhausen held firm – and even did the same with the even more hardcore GT3 RS. In its latest video, the boys at Xcar set out to find out if the GT3 with its fancy automated gearbox is as good as the previous model (or as good as the current model could be) with a manual – and took in some of the track toy's other trickery while they were at it. Check out the video above to find out what conclusion they reached.
