1971 Porsche 911T Targa – Chassis 9111110767 – Engine 6115097 I plan to bring this car to Hershey swap meet 4/19. More photos and information will be added to my web site at http://cars.autolinc.us/2168411 as questions get asked and I get time to respond. No COA yet but probably matching engine – 768th US Targa for 1971, 1096th US 911T engine for 1971. I recently bought this car out of 6 year storage, and will sell it as a good, drivable project. Only some patch welding and minor assembly work is needed to make this a legal driver. Some of the attractive features of the car are: · Original color is very rare - 8310-11 Light Metallic Green · AC car originally with most parts saved · Excellent engine, transmission, brakes · Most typical rust areas are sound, never rusted · New carpets and RS door cards come with the car · Standard Recaro comfort seats in excellent condition · Nice 15” Fuchs – 6”&8” rim widths · Driver door still pings · Excellent panel and door alignment and gaps · Original floor pan un-rusted for the most part · SSI heat exchangers with a new Bursch exhaust As received it took little effort to get into drivable condition. It was running when stored, and apparently put away properly. The mileage showing is 71K. The current color is a very dark metallic red/brown (black cherry). The first test drive showed the engine had plenty of power, more than expected (goes like stink! – may have been upgraded), the transmission shifts easily, with good synchromesh, and the brakes worked well with no prior refreshing. Compression after 6 years storage and no prior run-in is #1-133 2-125 3-128 4-140 5-120 6-135. This should improve with use. Negative issues are as follows. Interior upholstery and some panels are out and need to be installed. The front pan needs repair as one front suspension mounting point is weak. The metal between the floor and passenger side rocker needs replacement. There is some patching of the inner rocker on this side. There are two small spots with bubbling paint on the driver side front fender. The targa top needs full restoration but is mechanically sound. There is the typical dash crack. Rear fender flares are fiberglass and look decent, but one area needs surface smoothing. A small area of attachment needs to be re-bonded. The rear license plate panel area has been filled in. An RS style front fiberglass bumper and a glass 930 style spoiler are mounted. No records came with the car. The car drives great right now with a dealer plate. It could be your perfect, affordable entry into ownership of a rare and rapidly appreciating Porsche. Drive it now, get to know it, then restore it when you have collected the parts and money to do the job right and make it exactly what you want. PLEASE NOTE If you have less than 5 feedbacks you MUST contact me or your bid will be cancelled. A $1000 deposit is required within 48 hours of auction closing, This car is being offered through other advertising media to the public and may be withdrawn from the auction if I receive a satisfactory offer at any time. The car is sold with a transferable NY State registration as titles were not used here in 1971. Included will be a NY dealer bill of sale MV-50. I have had no problems with this in other sales to US states. I will be happy to assist in loading and shipping arrangements, but I am not responsible for your being able to register the car in your state or country - it is your responsibility to determine what your local requirements are. |

Magnus Walker turbocharges his love for the Porsche 911
Thu, 31 Oct 2013He's had his fill of early, long-hood Porsche 911s - he owns at least one from each model year, from 1964 to 1973 - so Magnus Walker, a fanatic of the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker, recently set his sights on the early Porsche 930, as documented by this XCAR video called 'Turbo Fever.' Let us translate: pretty soon Walker will own all of the earliest, non-intercooled 911 Turbos - at least one from each model year, starting at 1975 and ending at 1977 (though the 1975 911 Turbo Carrera never officially was imported to the US by Porsche, so it'll be tougher to find one Stateside).
Any Porsche enthusiast can tell you why they love their car, and it often comes down to the small details that differentiate one model year from another. One of many examples is the mid-'80s 928. They look similar, but the basic difference between a 1984 Porsche 928 S and a 1985 928 S (US-spec) is two camshafts and 54 horsepower, though each car's V8 has its own pros and cons. We'll let Magnus Walker tell you all about the 930 and what makes the first three years special, as he's becoming quite the expert on early, air-cooled 911s. When the nearly 15-minute mini-documentary was filmed, which you can view below, he already had added four early 930s to his collection!
Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
Porsche Macan fails moose test, Stuttgart responds
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Different countries have different safety standards, but most of them revolve around a similar set of tests: front impact, side impact, offset impact, rollover... the usual. But Sweden has its own test. It's called the Moose Test (or the Elk Test), and it's unique to Scandinavia: a car has to be able to avoid a theoretical antlered mammal on the road while traveling at 43.5 miles per hour and return to its previous course without flipping over. The Jeep Grand Cherokee ran afoul of the uniquely Nordic maneuver a couple of years ago, but even more surprising is the way the Porsche Macan has reacted.
Under testing by Sweden's Teknikens Värld, Porsche's downsized crossover - specifically the Macan S Diesel, for what it's worth - didn't flip over, but it skidded off course. In real-world conditions, it follows, the vehicle could run off the road or into oncoming traffic. The testers ran the test several times, and even removed excess weight from the vehicle, and each time it reacted the same way.
In response, Porsche has explained that the behavior is the result of its Active Rollover Protection system kicking in. When the system detects that the vehicle could drastically oversteer, flip over or lose its tire, it momentarily applies the brake on the front outside wheel, allowing the vehicle to shed the cornering forces without losing it completely.
