1973 911 T Targa "R GRUPPE STYLE" THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL, AUTHENTIC R GRUPPE CAR. AND, LIKE MANY OF MY FELLOW EARLY 911 S REGISTRY MEMBERS, I AM NOT AN R GRUPPE MEMBER. I HOPE THIS SATISFIES THE R GRUPPE'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT. VIN # 9113110767 Engine # 911/51 6131894. This is a 4 owner car with only 100K miles from new. The car still has about 50% of its original sepia brown paint. The tan interior appears to be all original (I have the original steering wheel). I have EVERY piece of paper for this car since new includig the window sticker, bill of sale, etc. The original owner kept a detailed log of everything that ever happend to this car including gas fill-ups! The subsequent owners continued this practice. It was originally purchased in San Antonio Texas and spent a lot of time there and also in Corpus Christi. It then spent some time in California (service receipts from Vasek Polak). This explains why the car is so solid. The chassis is perfect. There is no rust in the floor pans, rockers, jack pick-up points, front suspension pan, etc. The battery boxes and inside the trunk compartment are super solid as well. You can see that one of the previous owners has installed some plates and bolts to secure a tow-bar attachment. There is some minor rust on the passenger side front fender where the rubber seal for the trunk lid is, but it appears easily repairable. And, there are one or two other very small surface rust spots on the door as well, but again very minor and repairable. Overall, the car is extremely solid and rust-free. You will also notice that there is a dent in the driver's side fender and the weld has popped loose on the driver's side fender flare. The previous owner slid off the road avoiding a truck that pulled out in front of him and hit a road sign.
The motor is the original 2.4 with Mahle 2.7 RS spec pistons nikasil coated cylinders. It has S cams, and MFI. It was just totally and professionally rebuilt 7K miles ago (I have the receipts). The HP estimate by the shop that perfromed the work is 210. The 915 5 speed was also rebuilt and the clutch was replaced at the same time. A short shift was installed and 17 inch Cup style (7s and 9s) were installed with new rubber also. The car also has front and rear sway bars, Koni shocks, Turbo tie rod ends, All new bushings, Ferodo brake pads, etc. All these items are new within 7K miles or less. As you can see it has steel 930 rear fender flares. I also have an S front bumper and a RSR rear bumper that go with the car. The car runs and drives great! It is a blast to drive. Everything works including the original AM-FM radio. The original interior is in excellent condition. My plan was to have the bodywork finished and the car painted. The only shop that I would consider using is booked up for the next 5 months! This is the only reason I am considering selling the car. I have several other projects and would hate to see this car sitting for that long or longer(by the time they finish the car it would probably be close to a year). The previous owner invested over $20K in this car. It won't hurt my feelings to keep it, but if one of our members wants it and can finish it then great. I am asking $15,500 which given the market I think is very reasonable. You may call me at, 205-276-1918. I am having to re-size some pics, so I will get them posted as soon as possible.
