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.

$76,400 Porsche S E-Hybrid will debut in Paris

Fri, Sep 26 2014

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E Hybrid will be an all-new model, one that adds a plug – and the required associated technological bits – to the currently available Cayenne S Hybrid. The most important of those bits is a 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, but Porsche's Calvin Kim told AutoblogGreen that the SUV's electric-only range is still pending certification, but Hybrid Cars says that Porsche is estimating it'll be somewhere between 11 and 22 miles, "depending on the style of driving and route topography." Other than the new battery, the electric motor has been upgraded to a 95 horsepower/70 kW unit (up from the 47-hp/34 kW motor in the Cayenne hybrid without a plug). The overall powertrain now puts out a total of 416 hp and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. Alongside the electric parts, there's a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can find all of the E-Hybrid's available specs here and stay tuned for more information on the new plug-in SUV when it makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October. The SUV will go on sale in the US on November 1, 2014 with a starting MSRP of $76,400, plus a destination charge of $995. In a new press release (available below), Porsche is also proudly saying, once again, that it will be the world's only automaker offering three plug-in hybrid models, once the Cayenne S E-Hybrid hits the market. The others are the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder. How long will this reign at the top last? World premiere of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid in Paris Leading the industry: Porsche offers three plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Atlanta. The new Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid celebrates its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. It is the world's first luxury SUV to offer a plug-in hybrid drive, setting new standards in its segment. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid also makes Porsche the leading manufacturer of plug-in hybrid vehicles: Complementing the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder, Porsche is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer three plug-in hybrids. In addition to the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Porsche is presenting the other models that comprise the new generation of Cayenne including the Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne Diesel. Increased efficiency and performance, even more precise handling, a sharper design and a broadened array of standard equipment are its defining features.

Porsche Macan sales may push brand past 200K unit goal early

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

In late 2010, Volkswagen announced that it would spend the equivalent of $71 billion through 2015 to beef up its product lineup, determined to overtake Toyota in overall sales and profitability by 2018. Each of VW's many brands, in turn, would play its part contributing to a goal of 10 million sales per year. VW-owned Porsche was expected to sell 200,000 vehicles per year by 2018, but with the imminent arrival of the Macan small sport utility vehicle in 2014, the automaker is poised to meet that goal years ahead of schedule, Automotive News reports.
Porsche sold 143,096 cars in 2012, and IHS Automotive predicts Porsche will sell 63,000 Macans in 2014, according to Automotive News, which would make it the brand's best-selling vehicle. Do the math and you can see how Porsche could easily beat original expectations ahead of schedule. But Porsche's sales and marketing boss Bernhard Maier says not so fast: "We will not offer [63,000 Macans] in 2014 as we will still be ramping up production and introducing models top down," he told Automotive News Europe. Whether Porsche surpasses the 200,000 mark early or not, he said, the company will not set a new sales target and will remain committed to its business model.
The Macan shares its architecture with the Audi Q5, but Porsche will be able to charge more for its SUV. Tim Urquhart, a senior analyst at IHS Autmotive, told Automotive News that Porsche can charge 10 to 20 percent more, for what is basically the same SUV, than other VW Group brands. How's that for brand value?

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.
