You are bidding on a hard to find non-running 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa. This is an excellent project car for the Porsche lover. The previous owner bought this car used in 1978 from Novak Porsche Audi in Omaha, Nebraska. At the time the car only had 2,038 miles. I do have the purchase agreement and odometer mileage statement from that purchase. I also have many maintenance records that came with the car. We have looked the car over and it seems complete. The body is in great condition for a 35 year old car that has sat for a long period of time. There is no rust and no damage to the body and the floors are very solid. The paint looks to be original except for an area on the left rear quarter that looks to be painted and some clear coming off. It is hard to tell that area has been painted though. The car would look great with just a buff and wax but it depends on how far of a restore job a person wants to do with it. The top is in great condition and can be reused but the inside liner of it needs redone. The glass is in great condition with cracks or chips. The wheels are in excellent condition. There is no damage what so ever and the center caps are just as clean. I don't think they need any reconditioning but they will need new tires on them because these are old. Mechanically the car is not running and we have not tried to get it running. The car has sat for many years so I'm sure the drivetrain needs to be rebuilt. It is a 3.0L 6-Cyl with a 5-spd manual transmission. A/C compressor is there but I do not know the condition as the car does not run. The interior is actually in decent condition. The dash has a small crack near the passenger defrost vent and the glove box needs repaired. The threads on the steering wheel cover are coming apart. The car panels and rear seats are in great shape and could probably just be cleaned up. The front seats are leather with plaid cloth inserts that need redone. The carpet should be replaced. The trunk has the original space saver spare. I do have a clean and clear title. Vehicle can be seen at: Nelson Automotive - 300 Sandpiper Ct., Polk City, IA. 50226 - (515) 984-9600 This vehicle will be sold AS-IS, NO WARRANTY. This is a 35 year old car and even though we have presented this car to the best of our knowledge something could have been missed.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
Techart Porsche 911 Targa 4S is a tuner's attempt at being tasteful
Thu, Mar 5 2015We've not been terribly nice to the aftermarket tuners of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. That's largely because they don't deserve our kindness. Techart, though, is not going to be the subject of derision, largely because aside from painting this Porsche 911 Targa a particularly lurid shade of yellow (and finding seat upholstery and trim to match), the changes aren't particularly offensive. Hell, paint it black, silver or red, and it'd just look like a more aggressive Porsche. That's largely because it is. Techart has behaved itself, fitting a brand new body kit featuring a new rear spoiler, diffuser, front splitter and side skirts, and replacing the much of the interior componentry with carbon fiber and aluminum components. The tuner doesn't mention the exact name of the shade used both inside and out on this Targa, although those with more conservative tastes will rest easy knowing that "stylistic harmony with standard or Techart individual paint is guaranteed." Techart's deft aesthetic treatment hides a similarly light tweaking under the sheetmetal. This car features a new exhaust system, complete with four staggered exhaust pipes that have been finished in black chrome. And that's it. There aren't 17 turbos or a new intake manifold crafted from free-range ivory. It's the same 400-horsepower flat six found in a normal Targa 4S. Techart has fitted its own springs, although it doesn't tell us how much (or even if) the ride has been lowered. 21-inch alloys round out the more practical changes. Check out our full gallery of live images of Techart's latest creation, direct from Geneva.

TECHART Automobildesign sharpens the character of the seventh Porsche 911 Targa 4 generation. Using the right mixture of restraint and emphasis the TECHART Aerodynamic Kit transfers the sportive TECHART design language to the unmistakable lines of the four-wheel drive sports car. TECHART Formula IV light-alloy wheels in 21-inch communicate aesthetic innovative capacity all around. Interior refinement specialists of the TECHART in-house saddlery use precise handiwork to translate the exterior design elements stylistically into the vehicle's interior.
