This is my 1983 Porsche 911 SC Targa with 165,310 miles that I have owned since 2000. I bought the car with 82,051 miles and have driven it every year - it's a pleasure to drive. This is a well maintained, solid car that looks sharp - the triple black on this year 911 Targa is an eye-catcher for sure!
I have the service records in a binder that include the ones I received from the prior owner that go back to 1998. It has been maintained by the Porsche experts at Autobahn Performance out of Peabody, MA since 2002.
The black exterior paint is in decent shape. It has stone chips on the front end/hood that you'd expect with a car that's driven in New England. There are a couple of very minor dings and areas that have been touched up. I have not driven it in the winters and the car is garaged. The Targa top was redone in 2006. Overall, I'd say the exterior is in good condition. The pictures you'll see were taken in the late afternoon on August 7th - a couple of days ago.
The interior is in good condition as well. I had the 2 front seats reupholstered with leather at the same time I did the Targa top. The primary issue with the interior is that the top of the dashboard has split at the seam - I have included a picture of this. There is also a minor tear in the driver side car mat.
Mechanically, the brakes were redone in 2011 along with new Kumho tires that were put on at 161,467 miles the same year. A new battery was put in this year. The engine had the chain tensioner update done in 1999. The power antenna is stuck in the up position. The car has a/c, cruise control and headlight washers, but these do not work. The clock in the dash doesn't work properly - when the car is running it seems to work fine, otherwise it does not.
I am selling this car "as is" and the Buyer is responsible for picking up the car and any transportation needed.
I am happy to answer any questions about this car - please don't hesitate to email me to start, from there I can make myself available by phone. If you are looking for a solid 911 of this classic style that you want to drive - this is worth a closer look. In my mind, there is no better time than the late summer/early fall with the Targa top off on the back roads for a cruise - I'll miss that this year when it's gone.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.
