1971 911s Porsche Targa on 2040-cars
Victor, New York, United States
First off - this is a real 1971 Porsche 911S Targa. It came to the US via Canada originally delivered in Germany. It runs and drives
It has a clear transferable NYS registration (NY does not use titles before 1974). The Title lists the car as a 1970. May have been an early 71 delivery? It features the rarer Recaro leather sport seats, it is a 5 speed with a very presentable targa roof. It sports Weber carbs (more on this later) and runs well. It is currently on the road and does need a few items. This car, using completed current resales for the rare 911S model deserves a full restoration and is quite worthy of it. It has the best 'bones' I've seen on a 911 of it's vintage - the underside id completely clean - the floor pans, rockers, battery boxes, suspension mounts - everything - looks to be 100% original. As as far as I know this car has never seen winter. Some background: The car came to me via Canada. The previous owner (PO) bought it from a fellow Canadian (PPO) who brought it over from Germany. The information is that while in Germany the car's engine was destroyed and it was brought to Canada sans a motor. The PPO had a replacement engine put in that was built to 'S' specs (cams. etc). It does not have the injection system and the motor is not stamped with a serial #. I have obtained the Porsche C of A and have the correct motor # so if some lucky soul has that engine this car is priceless to you! For all others it is extremely valuable. The car is now painted white but as can be seen in a photo it was originally orange. Here's what the C of A says: 1971 911S Targa Production date: information not available MSRP: information not available Optional Equipment: Antenna - Left w/ Loudspeaker & Noise suppression, Tinted Glass, foglights (missing) Engine number: 6310395 Transmission #: information not available Exterior Paint color/code: Tangerine/ 23 Interior Matl: Black Leatherette/ 11 What it has: sport seats, 5 speed trans, later AM/FM/CD but includes what we think is the original radio. The PO or PPO blacked out the chrome trim bit it's all there under the overcoat and the area I exposed looks great. All the trim is overpainted but underneath it's in very good shape. The dashboard is virtually brand new - it's NOT a coverlay it's a brand new dash - I think it's from a later model as it has no dash script. Has 4 Fuchs alloys and spare wheel in the trunk. It has a fiberglass front bumper instead of OEM. What it needs to be 'driver': * Paint is there - was touched up and looks a panel or two was repainted in the past. * Rubber hoses on brake lines need to be replaced - they've swollen up almost shut. I replaced worst one. * Carb balance, timing * door pockets are there but rough - new ones available now but they are pricey - but car is deserving * electrical work - wiring to senders, etc. PPO installing replacement engine did some wiring that is less than 'correct'. * Targa top inside material loose - should be re-glued up. Here's a standard Good/ Bad list (nothing's ugly here!) - no rust issues ever (some surface rust as shown but underside is very very good) - 'S" aluminum brake calipers - proper oil cooling setup - H1 headlights (one side H4 lense) - Euro gauges (KM speedo) as expected - front sway bar - recaro leather sport seats - original radio (?) included - leather headrests - near perfect dash - 16" wheels, non-matching tires and non-matching spare wheel (14") - needs door pockets BUT has new door cards - needs one window crank handle - missing trombone oil cooler - missing one horn. - replacement motor, non-injected but Weber powered. - purported rebuild to 'S' specs. Well there it is, I've made a great effort to be as up-front as possible on all I've seen on this car. This is an opportunity to own a truly skyrocketing collectible' I'm not going to go into "911S history" or a dissertation of current values but the true 911/ 911S aficionado knows the car and it's value now and after a restoration. Please don't ask about the reserve - it's reasonable for the car as is now. Any questions? Send me a mail with your phone # and I'll get back to you. Good luck and Happy bidding! |

Porsche 919 Hybrid revives Porsche's factory Le Mans efforts
Tue, 04 Mar 2014After months of teasing with camouflaged testers, Porsche has finally unveiled its prototype entry for the 2014 World Endurance Championship, the 919 Hybrid. Porsche, you may recall, hasn't had campaigned a factory team at Le Mans in years, so the 919 is nothing less than their recommitment to endurance racing.
Combining a 2.0-liter V4 (yes, a V4) that revs to 9,000 rpm, the 919 produces around 500 horsepower with a pair of energy recovery systems. The first system recovers the heat energy from exhaust gasses as they pass through an electrical generator, while the second system is a bit more familiar. Using a setup similar to what is found on the production 918 Spyder, a generator on the front axle recovers kinetic energy from the brakes, which is subsequently stored in a battery system. That power can then be sent to the front wheels at the driver's command, effectively turning the 919 into an all-wheel-drive racecar.
Despite these various forms of motivation, Porsche doesn't claim to be seeking outright power supremacy, with Chairman Matthias Müller saying, "In 2014, it will not be the fastest car that wins the World Endurance Championship series and the 24 hours of Le Mans, rather it will be the car that goes the furthest with a defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that carmakers must overcome. The 919 Hybrid is our fastest mobile research laboratory and the most complex race car that Porsche has ever built."
Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
