I appreciate the fact that he likes a car that’s a 2 out of 4. No trailer queens, similar to the reason you sold your beautiful 964, Will. Drive em they way they were meant to be driven: hard.
a longnose targa w/ flares, no tail... a very good look, not too common. targas look good in silver - works w/ the targa-bar & black roof. car appears maybe a bit high at the rear? Eastern Forest Carver ... next owner can evolve further, to taste.
I sold my 88 Carrera with a rear tail 10 years ago for NSX. regard a little if I have rooms for 2 summer cars. The 911 had zero problems other than master brake cylinder repair, decided to change the fuel filter cylinder when the car had starting hesitation. It's noisy like he'll and my body ache after a longer ride. Engine is just solid and easy to find parts. My mechanic is a retired Porsche amateur racing guy. He could identify the issues just by your description. Sold for $30k cdn, now double or ?
I’ve been down the same road with a street car with a too aggressive cam. Tough to drive on the street. Very bad in slow traffic. The car is very unhappy at stop lights. Doesn’t come off the line easily. Stalls. Great on the Highway at higher revs, but over time will wear you down
205/55’s on the 16” wheels. I believe they are 16 x 7 but I am not sure of the offset. I’m pretty sure the details are in this video: th-cam.com/video/mHfyj3umw-M/w-d-xo.html
You can run a vintage NC plate of the same year that the car was made as long as you register the car antique and carry the antique plate in the car. Running a period plate from another state is technically not permitted but I have done it before on my cars and I considered it a “beg for forgiveness” type of thing if I got pulled over. I never had a problem (knock on wood)
Love the car looks perfect just not feeling the seats to much but that’s just me.
Saw the car today. It’s so awesome!!!!!!!!!
The ringer... the challenges... the Eagles... Yes!
Car looks great- not a fan of Targas but this one is very nice.

Great interview love the back story. Make it your own and drive the wheels off

This car is in Great hands !!! It’s had the wheels replaced with Braid rims New suspension and lowered to between euro and race height!!
Those seats are awesome! Great video. I really enjoy owners discussing their rides.
Nice stance..
Beautiful car. Tasteful mods. Love a Targa in the Spring and Fall. 👍
Love the story. So many things to say about the car but I’ll keep them to myself. Glad he loves it and I’m sure someone else will as well
Great story and super editing.
Thanks. I had fun with this one.
Great work and great video. Won't touch my 1986 Targa with 57 K kilometers though
Nicely done!
Thanks brother
Very nice
Love a hot rod Targa!
The exhaust was inspired by the 904.
Beauty my dream car
Those seats 👌🏾

License plate is cool, given its ownership history.
Beautiful !
Nice story 🏁

Damn! Looks great!
Great video
Cool car!
Really nice. How are the wheels filling in the wheel well? Wide tires, 930 trailing arms, or spacers? Thanks a lot.

Were the front "horn grills" a one off or sourced from a retailer or shop?
One off. Deco trim was custom too
Any advice for a AMG owner looking for his first Porsche. Every day driver
This video might help. th-cam.com/video/8Bu2CUMX1c0/w-d-xo.html
Cool California plate…but how do you keep the former owner’s plate on a NC car?
You can run a vintage NC plate of the same year that the car was made as long as you register the car antique and carry the antique plate in the car.

What was the old motor? Injection system???
Not sure. Howie may be able to weigh in.
There was no motor that came with the car
'72 T came w/ 2.4 & MFI (US)... Euro had carbs. by now, old 911s could've had more motors than owners had wives.
For sale?
Yes
