1979 Porsche 911 Sc Targa 2-door 3.0l 60408 Miles Original Survivor Very Nice on 2040-cars
Easton, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This auction is for a 1979 Porsche 911 Targa that is equipped with a 5 speed 912 transmission and the 3.0 engine. I believe these are original to the car but do not have the COA to verify. I purchased this car several months ago from a long time owner that left it sit in a dry garage for over 15 years. I have sorted it out to the point where it is a very nice driver. Engine starts easily and only smokes a little after initial start up as most do. Trans shifts up well but the past owner had a short shift kit installed and it needs to be adjusted to work extremely well. In order to get it into 1st gear car must be stopped fully. The Porsche tag on the drivers side shows this was built 1/79 and the paint code is 30T-9-3 which is a Light Blue Metallic with the bright blue interior and leather seats. The interior is very nice and the dash has no cracks. The carpet cover to protect it will go with the car. The original black carpeting is in very good condition and the nearly new coca mats with matching blue highlights will go with the car. All gauges work including the clock. There is absolutely NO RUST on this car, the under carriage, pans and rockers are extremely clean. This car is not perfect and does have a couple small stone chips and one very small ding on the passenger door lower left corner which is hard to see in the photos. The engine starts easily, runs strong and smokes a little bit after start up after it has sat for several days. It has had a recent oil and filter change using a Porsche oil filter. This vehicle has a A/C unit installed but did not blow cold air when I purchased it. I removed the A/C Compressor but left everything else on the car in case someone wanted to put it back into service and the compressor and bracket will be included in the auction. The trunk is extremely clean and the car comes with it's original tool kit along with a used but good extra fan belt that has the Porsche name on it. The box shown in the photo has a new Porsche fuel filter for the car that will also go with it. The tires have very little wear and are Yokohama AVID V45's 205/55R16 89V. The wheels are in very nice condition for the age of the vehicle.. I have posted photos of all. Comes with 2 sets of keys as shown The Targa top shows a little wear from age. This vehicle has a current PA State inspection. I have posted many photos of the car for you to determine the condition and if this car is right for you, all sales are final. If there is something you would like to see in a photo please contact me. I have included a Buy it Now price in case you do not want to wait till the end of the auction - The only way I will end this auction early is if someone selects the Buy it Now price or I have made a mistake in the listing. This vehicle is being sold As Is Where Is and the buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs. If you would like to view the vehicle please contact me to make an appointment. No Joy Rides. No Dreamers. High bidder will be the new owner. $1000 deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payment in full is due within 7 days of auction unless prior arrangements have been made. If you would like to speak to me concerning this vehicle please email me your phone number and I will call you ASAP. |

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.
Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
