Mechanically well sorted Targa with minor needs......

Note: Modified Ad from late 2014:
1983 SC Targa 3.6 Varioram conversion is back on the market.

Regulars to the Pelican site may recognize this as the "Moses Targa", which has many threads dedicated to its high-quality, no expense spared build. I (Luke) am the fourth owner of this car, purchased from Rob end of 2014.

From Previous owner: "I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere -- arguably one of the most sorted, well done 3.6 conversion cars out there. The car is happy in traffic, around town or on weekend coffee run blasts to the middle of nowhere. The engine pulls strong in all gears and sounds absolutely incredible. No rust or accidents. Excercised regularly on the weekends, always garaged and obsessed over. Just an awesome car. Certainly not concours, but excellent driver and priced accordingly.

105K on the chassis, approximately 67K on the engine (not sure of true mileage).

The car recently had a full PPI at ROCS Auto in Belleville, NJ. Excellent leakdown numbers of 2.5 - 3.5% across all cylinders."



Summary below:

NEW PRICE $35,000.

Exterior:
Beautiful Factory Zinn Metallic (code 956). The car was treated to a high quality, windows out repaint prior to my ownership.
Usual stone chips on the hood and front bumper, a few scratches on the body which the pictures will show. Overall, paint a 8 of 10, it looks fantastic. The rear fender was damaged by the PO's fence and was properly repaired shortly after I received it.
GT Racing Front and rear IROC-style bumpers. The front bumper was replaced in 2012 after being backed into by a careless driver when parked. The new bumper is slightly warped where it meets the hood, I have a 964 smile that will come with the car to remedy this.
