1983 Porsche 911sc Targa Hot Rod, 3.6l Varioram Engine Conversion on 2040-cars
Verona, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1983 SC Targa 3.6 Varioram conversion. Regulars to the Pelican site may recognize this as the "Moses Targa", which has many threads dedicated to its high-quality, no expense spared build. I am the third owner of this car, purchased in 2010 after considering a conversion on my own 911SC Coupe (do the math, it's seriously expensive!). I've enjoyed this car immensely during my ownership, and have taken it on many long distance rallies, including the Northeast Mountain Melee in 2013 -- 1300 miles in 3 days, the car ran flawlessly. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere -- arguably one of the most sorted, well done 3.6 conversion cars out there. The car is happy in traffic, around town or on weekend coffee run blasts to the middle of nowhere. The engine pulls strong in all gears and sounds absolutely incredible. No rust or accidents. Excercised regularly on the weekends, always garaged, Covered and obsessed over. Just an awesome car. Certainly not concours, but excellent driver and priced accordingly.
103K on the chassis, approximately 65K on the engine (not sure of true mileage).

The car was treated to a high quality, windows out repaint prior to my ownership. Usual stone chips on the hood and front bumper, a few scratches on the body which the pictures will show. Overall, I'd rate the paint a 8 of 10, it looks fantastic. The rear fender was damaged by the PO's fence and was properly repaired shortly after I received it. GT Racing Front and rear IROC-style bumpers. The front bumper was replaced in 2012 after being backed into by a careless driver when parked. Factory Carrera Wing Bosch Euro H4 conversion with Sucro relay kit 993 aero mirrors Interior: Cobra Misano seats -- Nappa leather with carbon fiber shelled backs. Fully adjustable and tilt for access to rear seating area. Schroth 4 point harnesses -- still retains factory seat belts and receptacles for everyday driving (labels are expired, I've never used the belts) TRE Targa harness bar. Momo Prototipo steering wheel Pioneer stereo with removable faceplate -- honestly, I've never used it! MB Quart speakers Rennline pedals and dead pedal All gauges work properly including the clock -- note it has a 930 tachometer, but no turbo Rear seat backs currently not installed but will come with the car Wevo Classic Shifter Engine/trans: 1997 3.6-liter from C4S (installed in 2005 with 45K miles). Engine has approximately 65K, but not certain of actual mileage. Engine uses about 1 quart every 1000 miles of spirited driving. No smoking or major leaks. Patrick motorsports conversion kit with lightweight flywheel Sachs power clutch B&B polished stainless headers with heat -- sounds incredible!!! High performance cats - car came from California (I cannot guarantee it will pass emissions testing) Custom Dynomax stainless muffer with dual outlets Cytex chip Carbon Fiber RS heater Tube B&B front oil cooler -- car runs 180 degrees all day long Elephant Carrera fender cooler with fan Elephant oil lines K&N air filer New rear axle assemblies in 2013 915 trans with open differential and stock gearing -- shifts great Wheels and tires: 17" (7.5F x 9.0R) Rota Fox wheels in hyperblack Recent Dunlop Direzza Z1 (215F, 255R) Suspension: Smart adjustable 23mm front swaybar: Carrera G50 style rear bar Turbo tie rods Rack spacer kit Elephant monoballs Elephant polybronze control arm bearings Elephant Polybronze rear Spring plate bushings 22mm front and 28mm rear torsion bars with reinforced mounts Reinforced front struts with Koni Sport adjustable front inserts; Koni Sport adjustable rear shocks Control arms modified to accept 993/964 brake deflectors -- currently not installed.

Minor bubbling of the paint on the rear bumper, caused by exhaust heat. Bezel for the fresh air blower is cracked, I have a replacement with cables that will come with the car. Targa top is showing its age, I typically enjoy the car without it. Top does not leak, but needs a rebuild -- this is factored into my asking price. Two small stress cracks in deckled grille - these were on the car when I purchased it, didn't really bother me. No radio antenna -- I haven't used the radio once. Engine leaves a dime sized drop of oil after a drive, nothing more, nothing less. Car will comes with many extra parts and a custom car cover. I'm happy to answer any questions. Please contact me via email or PM. robertmoran123@gmail.com |

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
Next Porsche Cayman and Boxster to be called 718?
Wed, Dec 24 2014Porsche has spent a few years sorting out its strategy away from the 911 and its crossovers, among the moving targets being the now-moribund Ferrari-fighting 960, the still-very-much-alive variant(s) coming with the next-generation Panamera, and what appears to be a puissant Cayman that could be called the GT4. Earlier this year there were rumors that a flat-four engine would join the Stuttgart maker's lineup, and that it could go into a roadster called the 718 that would undercut the current $51,400 price of the Boxster, and the Boxster would go upscale, leapfrogging the $52,600 price of the Cayman. Then Porsche turned out the lights on the 718 project, its R&D head telling Autocar, "We have a very good entry point to the range with the Boxster, and we see no reason to go below that." But Automobile reports that while the 718 roadster is dead, the 718 name will live: a la the 911, a new 718 range will encompass coupes and convertibles spanning a wide performance envelope. The suggestion is that the Boxster and Cayman names will be retired. According to Automobile, this will give Porsche a place to put its flat-four engine, into entry level models that – countering Porsche's earlier statement – "come in at a significantly lower price than" the present Boxster. Two displacements are expected, in three outputs: a 2.0-liter with 285 horsepower, a 2.5-liter with 360 hp and a turbocharged version with 400 hp. It's also been speculated that the engine could power an entry-level Macan. It's been reported before that Porsche wants to make use of the 718 name to promote its motorsport heritage, that model having carried Stirling Moss to victory among its many racing triumphs. If it happens, even though Automobile calls it part of "a slight perspective shift," we think it'll be a big shift for the two popular models, but it's not like we haven't had time to get ready. We're told the new moniker will be introduced in 2016 as a 2017 model. News Source: Automobile via World Car Fans Porsche Convertible Coupe porsche 718
Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
