1973 Porsche 911t Targa In Aubergine Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Sparta, Tennessee, United States
|
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. |

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22
Sat, 12 Apr 2014While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
