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.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English

Wed, Dec 14 2016

The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.

Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt

Fri, Sep 18 2015

FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
