1971 Porsche 911T Targa – Chassis 9111110767 – Engine 6115097 I plan to bring this car to Hershey swap meet 4/19. More photos and information will be added to my web site at http://cars.autolinc.us/2168411 as questions get asked and I get time to respond. No COA yet but probably matching engine – 768th US Targa for 1971, 1096th US 911T engine for 1971. I recently bought this car out of 6 year storage, and will sell it as a good, drivable project. Only some patch welding and minor assembly work is needed to make this a legal driver. Some of the attractive features of the car are: · Original color is very rare - 8310-11 Light Metallic Green · AC car originally with most parts saved · Excellent engine, transmission, brakes · Most typical rust areas are sound, never rusted · New carpets and RS door cards come with the car · Standard Recaro comfort seats in excellent condition · Nice 15” Fuchs – 6”&8” rim widths · Driver door still pings · Excellent panel and door alignment and gaps · Original floor pan un-rusted for the most part · SSI heat exchangers with a new Bursch exhaust As received it took little effort to get into drivable condition. It was running when stored, and apparently put away properly. The mileage showing is 71K. The current color is a very dark metallic red/brown (black cherry). The first test drive showed the engine had plenty of power, more than expected (goes like stink! – may have been upgraded), the transmission shifts easily, with good synchromesh, and the brakes worked well with no prior refreshing. Compression after 6 years storage and no prior run-in is #1-133 2-125 3-128 4-140 5-120 6-135. This should improve with use. Negative issues are as follows. Interior upholstery and some panels are out and need to be installed. The front pan needs repair as one front suspension mounting point is weak. The metal between the floor and passenger side rocker needs replacement. There is some patching of the inner rocker on this side. There are two small spots with bubbling paint on the driver side front fender. The targa top needs full restoration but is mechanically sound. There is the typical dash crack. Rear fender flares are fiberglass and look decent, but one area needs surface smoothing. A small area of attachment needs to be re-bonded. The rear license plate panel area has been filled in. An RS style front fiberglass bumper and a glass 930 style spoiler are mounted. No records came with the car. The car drives great right now with a dealer plate. It could be your perfect, affordable entry into ownership of a rare and rapidly appreciating Porsche. Drive it now, get to know it, then restore it when you have collected the parts and money to do the job right and make it exactly what you want. PLEASE NOTE If you have less than 5 feedbacks you MUST contact me or your bid will be cancelled. A $1000 deposit is required within 48 hours of auction closing, This car is being offered through other advertising media to the public and may be withdrawn from the auction if I receive a satisfactory offer at any time. The car is sold with a transferable NY State registration as titles were not used here in 1971. Included will be a NY dealer bill of sale MV-50. I have had no problems with this in other sales to US states. I will be happy to assist in loading and shipping arrangements, but I am not responsible for your being able to register the car in your state or country - it is your responsibility to determine what your local requirements are. |

Roger Rodas' Widow Suing Porsche Over Carrera GT Crash
Tue, May 13 2014Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America. In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment – namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank. "The Carrera GT was unsafe for its intended use by reason of defects in its manufacture, design, testing, component and constituents, so that it would not safely serve its purpose," according to the specifics of the suit obtained by the Los Angeles Times. When reached for comment, Porsche Cars North America spokesman Nick Twork told Autoblog: We are very sorry for the Rodas and Walker family's loss. The crash was the subject of a detailed investigation by the proper authorities (L.A. County Sheriff and California Highway Patrol), and their investigation disproves the allegations in the lawsuit. The investigation found that driving at a high speed in a negligent manner caused the crash and concluded that there was no mechanical defect. The Carrera GT is known as a difficult car to drive. As the LA Times report points out, Jay Leno spun one at Talladega in 2005, and the following year, Porsche paid part of a multi-million-dollar settlement after two were killed on a track when their Carrera GT struck a slower-moving Ferrari. The Rodas lawsuit could very well point to that previous suit from San Diego Superior Court. Whether the court in LA will hand down a similar ruling remains to be seen.
McLaren boss' exclusive Porsche 935 Street is worth three 911 Turbos
Wed, 21 May 2014McLarens may be exclusive, but there are still hundreds - if not thousands - of people out there who can say they own one. Mansour Ojjeh is one of them, but he doesn't just own a McLaren - he owns McLaren. As in, the company that makes the racing and exotic supercars. Or 25 percent of it, anyway. As the head of Techniques d'Avant Garde, Ojjeh is one of the British outfit's largest shareholders, previously having owned Heuer watches (before selling it to luxury giant LVMH) and engineered Porsche's most successful foray into Formula One - winning the world drivers' championship three times in a row and the constructors' title twice with Alain Prost and Niki Lauda behind the wheel of McLarens with Porsche engines developed and branded by TAG.
In short, he probably could get any McLaren he wanted at the drop of a hat, but also had strong ties to Porsche in the 80s, and this is the car he wanted. It's called the Porsche 935 Street, and it's the only one ever made. Inspired by the 935 racer that won Le Mans and over 120 other races, Ojjeh contracted Porsche Exclusive when it was still in its infancy to make him one for the road. So they took a 930 bodyshell, slotted in the 3.3-liter turbo flat-six from the 934 but cranked output up to 375 horsepower, and gave it the brakes, suspension, BBS wheels and wide-body aero from the 935 racer. They painted it a deep metallic red and trimmed the interior with cream leather and wood veneer.
When all was said and done, a total of 550 modifications were performed, detailed on a seventeen-page invoice and costing as much as three new 911 Turbos at the time. Ojjeh only put 12,000 miles on the odometer, running up and down the French Riviera, and has now put it up for sale at the upcoming Bonhams auction at Spa where it's tipped to fetch upwards of 300,000 euros - equivalent to $410k at today's rates, or, once again, the price of about three new 911 Turbos.
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
