FS: @eBay - 1973 Porsche 911T Targa
Oh this is going to be an expensive lesson. I thought I wanted a Targa, so I sold my coupe and found this Targa in Ottawa. Drove it to Toronto in the middle of winter. It was glorious! Probably my best mini-road trip I've taken in awhile. The drive, including the heater was flawless, -30 outside, T-Shirt inside. Except for one tiny problem. I miss the feeling of an early coupe & want another. If I can play my cars right, that white 69 Euro Coupe forgotten in the garage will see light of day towards end of summer. It has period correct go-fast goodies on it buried under 20 years of accumulated crap in the guys garage. So this one's gotta go. I've posted it on ebay: Item # 251534694088 and offering it here as well.
Complete VIN's shown. The car is registered under my company name so I can drive around on a dealer plate as opposed to going through the normal route of getting it licensed etc.

This is a show winning US car originally sold to a private collector and found it's way to Toronto, Canada. It is equipped with period correct Recaro seats in-place of the stock chairs & all carpets etc have been replaced. The clock doesn't work, but is intact and can be repaired. The car is fitted with a Momo steering wheel. The original wheel is included. The body is solid with no rust, no filler. Battery boxes are fine and the car has a gel battery in the smuggler's box. Spare Fuchs is intact and included.The car has been fitted with a ducktail, and has the S option front spoiler.
With fitted Bilstein 'green' struts, after market adjustable anti-sway bars and a tower brace, handling is superb. Braking is excellent due to the later model Carrera brakes which are currently fitted. The original S type aluminum calipers, discs and spare pads are included to maintain the cars authenticity. Five excellent condition Fuchs rims, lots of wear left on tires, brakes etc. 915 transmission with new kevlar clutch, resurfaced flywheel & rebuilt CV joints. Engine has been resealed. The original engine has been bumped 2.7 litres in stock cases. Weber carbs in place of the fuel injection. SC cam, turbo chains and valve covers. Upgraded chain tensioners, Permatune ignition, SSI heat exchangers and dual exhaust round out the drivetrain. Pulls clean to 7,300 rpm. A large front mount oil cooler, Mocal thermostat and braided stainless steel lines keeps heat in check.
As this car is located in Ontario Canada, I will pay for door to door shipping to anywhere in the USA or Canada by enclosed transport. I am not affiliated with TFX International in any way except that they offer exceptional service & are reasonably priced. They take care of all the necessary paperwork to cross the border. That's right, I'll pay for the shipping. You'll need to pick-up the tab for any import fees, DMV, State local taxes etc. I will assist in the transportation to the shipping port located in Montreal if an overseas buyer is interested. Best to contact me for details.
