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.

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.

Woman rushing to pub nearly causes head-on collision

Wed, Aug 17 2016

A woman in a rush to pick up her husband from a local pub caused this close call on a street in England this weekend. The near miss happened on Sunday on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England. A Porsche Cayenne driver attempted to overtake a blue Citroen on a blind curve but didn't see the white Skoda in oncoming traffic. Thanks to the Skoda driver's quick maneuvering on to the grassy shoulder the Cayenne only caused minor damage to the other two cars. Damian Hodgson is the owner of the dashboard camera who was behind the blue Citroen. After the close call Hodgson first stopped to check on the Skoda driver. Driver and car were okay, but a 10-year-old girl in the front seat was in tears. Hodgson then made his way down the road where the Porsche driver was speaking to the Citroen driver. He said the Porsche's driver gave some pretty lame reasons for putting so many people's lives in danger. "She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers - but it's no excuse to be overtaking on a blind bend," Hodgson told the Mirror. "She did tell me she always overtakes at that spot though." Hodgson picked up the dashcam after a crash while on vacation in Florida last month. He offered the footage to both the drivers of the Skoda and the Citroen, but both declined. Hodgson told the Mirror that he hopes some good comes from the incident. "If anything comes of this, it is hopefully that the lady Porsche driver has learned a lesson and she will not put others in danger again."
