1976 Porsche 911S Targa 93,000 original miles!
This absolutely beautiful 40-year old 911S was sold to the original Northern California owner on December of 1975.
He had the car for about 10 years before selling it to a neighbor who would go on to use it as a weekend cruiser
for the next 30 years. This Porsche has spent its entire 40 year life in the California foothills. It has always
been garaged in between use, is totally rust free and has been driven only 93,000 miles since new! A rare find
indeed! Our home recently sold on Labor Day (September 7th) and we are moving to our beach house back east on Cape
Cod for the next year or two. I can’t take it with me because we have no garage there, and I don’t want to
store it here in California because of all the associated “non-use” issues that go along with not starting a
car for such a long period of time. Please note that I am not a mechanic, body shop owner, or car dealer, nor am I a
self-professed Porsche guru. I am simply a gentleman that has been fortunate enough to have owned several Porsches
over the past 40 years. In my humble opinion, this is a really nice one and given its present condition should
bring the new owner a lot of joy and compliments from envious onlookers for many years to come.
Mechanical Condition:
Excellent! Runs and drives like new! Driven only 93,000 miles in the past 40 years and feels like it should. The
engine is super strong, the 5-speed transmission shifts perfectly (even when cold), the brakes are awesome, and all
the lights, wipers, gauges, etc. work perfectly – even the horn and clock work! In addition, it has been updated
with the pop-off valve and the expensive Carrera tensioners. The compression is 130-135 in all 6 cylinders. Just
changed all the fluids (engine/transmission) and had the car smogged last week. It passed with flying colors, even
with all the factory smog equipment present and accounted for!
Exterior Condition:
This 911S looks absolutely beautiful from just 5 feet away! The very rare “Desert Beige” color is stunning
especially with the chrome package (roll bar, window trim, wing window skurrounds, headlight bezels, and door
handles). However, upon closer scrutiny, one will find that the 20-year old paint job is starting to show its age
(i.e., some touched up nicks, chips, door dings, etc….) In other words, it looks really nice like it does in the
pictures, unless you’re within a couple of feet of it. It has excellent door and hood gaps, and comes with the
original Fuchs alloy wheels and like new tires.
Interior Condition:
Excellent throughout! The only real flaw is a 6” crack in the otherwise excellent dashboard. Targa top is in
great shape as well. Front and rear seats, carpet, door panels, etc., are all in outstanding condition. This 911S
is AC and PW delete (the lightweight model as some people like to call it).
Also included in the sale of my 1976 911S are the original owner’s manual, 70’s ski rack, jack, tool kit
(partial), bra and spare tire.
This Porsche has been lovingly maintained and to the best of my knowledge needs nothing more to be used as a
reliable every day car, or just a really fun weekend driver. If I were keeping it I can’t think of anything I
would do to make it any better.

Singer 911 gorgeousness explored and experienced by Chris Harris
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Few things get us as cranked up as a Porsche 911. Generation after generation, this rear-engined oddity has exhilarated our senses, and the new 991 is the most capable iteration yet. Even so, there's a lot to be said for the older models, from their lighter weights and more modest dimensions to their air-cooled thrums.
That elemental vintage Porsche appeal hasn't been lost on Los Angeles-based Singer Vehicle Design, which has endeavored to take the best bits from every generation of 911 and combine them into one impossibly sexy rear-engined machine. Based on a 964 donor car, we knew that a lot of work would need to go into everything from the structure to the bodywork to realize the Singer's cohesive aesthetic and dynamic vision, but we didn't know just how much until we watched this Drive video featuring Chris Harris. The auto journo gets time with the 350-horsepower, Cosworth-motivated coupe on both mountain passes and at the track, but what could be the most interesting thing about the 27-minute-long video is his in-depth plant tour.
Check it out by scrolling below, but not before paging through our new Singer 911 gallery.
Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024
Mon, Jan 22 2024Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor. $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60. $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
Ex-F1 driver Mark Webber has tough life, shakes down Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Fri, Apr 24 2015It's good work if you can get it, and Mark Webber has got it. The works driver for the Porsche World Endurance Championship Team was apparently asked to moonlight in a video shoot for the company's new 911 GT3 RS at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and what do you know, he complied. They don't appear to be going too quickly, and a racing driver asked to rein in what will be one of the most blistering cars we'll see this year must be very serious work, because Webber doesn't appear to be smiling at all. We'll guess there's a big smile on the inside, though, and some tales to tell to his Porsche teammates at the next WEC race. Maybe the next time we see the 911 GT3 RS at the 'Ring, it will be doing the timed lap we're all waiting for. Related Video:
