1973 Porsche 911T Targa.  Matching numbers car perfect for full restoration. Original Aubergine painted car. Car is suppose to have low miles with the odometer reading 27,182.  I have no documentation proving this, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  No guarantee on actual mileage.  The undercarriage is clean and the motor does not have much buildup on it suggesting the mileage to be accurate.
I do have the original manuals to the car including the original service manual that came with the car when purchased new.  I also have the paperwork where the original owner sold it to the second owner in 74 through a Cadillac dealer in Huntsville, Alabama.  The car, from what I was told, was parked in the 80s and sat out in the elements for a number of years.  It has been in storage for the last 10 years before I bought it out of Alabama.
Original 2.4 injected motor with 5spd transmission option.  The motor is locked up and had the spark plugs out when I purchased the car.  It is complete and does not appear to be missing any parts.  Still has a factory Porsche fan belt on it.
The body is very straight and all gaps are perfect.  No evidence of any previous damage and the car is still wearing what is left of the original paint.  There is surface rust on the car and the worst is on the drivers door.  The body would require very little work to prepare it for paint.  The front suspension is in great shape for a car of it's age.  Even the rubber on the tie rods and ball joints are in good shape with no cracks.  There is a small amount of rust up front as shown in the picture and the left tow hood has been pulled off the body (I do have the hook).  Both battery boxes are perfect along with the front pan.  Even the stash box up front in the truck in rust free.  
Where the car needs the most work is the floor pans from the Targa top deteriorating from sitting outside.  Also the tunnel above the shift linkage will need work.  The drivers seat back is missing, but other than that the interior is complete with original radio as well.  
The spare tire does not look like it has ever been mounted.  There are two boxes of original brake pads (probably not usable due to age).  Original jack and negative battery cables.  
The original wheels have been replaced long ago with a set of Dan Gurney aluminum wheels.  I do not have the original set of wheels.  The car probably came with 15x6" cookie cutters.
Overall this is a fairly easy restoration project of a very original car.  Great color and the last of the desirable years.
I have a clear title ready for the next owner to take over.  More pictures available. 

The car is listed locally.   I hold the right to cancel the auction early as long as the reserve has not been met.  If the reserve has been met, the auction will go to the highest bidder.
Thank you.

Son of Porsche 911 designer recalls 1963 Frankfurt debut

Wed, 16 Oct 2013


The Goodwood Revival is described by its presenters as the greatest motorsport racing party of the year. We often focus heavily on the motorsports, but you can't forget about the party. For the first preview of the new 911 Turbo in the UK, Porsche recreated its booth from the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 - the time and place of the original 911's public debut.
Porsche's cameras also caught up with Mark Porsche, the great grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and son of the late Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, who oversaw the design of the 911. Mark Porsche admires the 911's friendly design, which is set off by the round headlights, and says his mother, who was at the original Frankfurt booth in 1963, was milling around the booth at Goodwood - no doubt taking a trip down memory lane.

Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356

Wed, 14 May 2014

Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
