A fact check from the Illuminate, please? Perhaps it's the photo angle, but it looks like the floor board behind the pedal cluster (picture #5) is for a standard 3 pedal cluster instead of the 2 pedal Sporto version. FWIW, same for the carpet. Having done a Sporto > 5-spd conversion myself, IIRC, the Sporto uses a different 2 slot board and I had to source a 3 slot board to accommodate the clutch pedal.

Not trying to disparage this car and happy to be corrected. Just seems odd that they couldn't use the original or even make a proper wood replacement. The other obvious explanation is either my eyes are deceiving me and/or I don't know what I'm talking about

Dealer Description:

This 1971 Porsche 911T Sportomatic Targa is a spectacular example that had has minimal ownership and has always been a Southern California car since new. The Targa is powered by a 2.2-liter air-cooled flat-six paired with a 4-speed Sportomatic transaxle -which were used on select models from 1967 to 1980. It was born Gold but was later on restored with the engine out and windshield and Targa glass removed; it was then stripped to bare metal and repainted Black and the finish on the car today remains spectacular. The first owner had leased the car from a Southern California Porsche dealership, and then it was acquired by another Southern California owner. It was later acquired by yet another Southern California resident who drove the car for many years but decided to sell it after it had been resting in a garage for many years. The Targa then went to another Southern California Porsche collector, who commissioned the car to have its engine rebuilt by Alan Johnson Racing of San Diego, CA. In addition, he also had brand new leather seats made and installed and replaced all of the consumable parts you normally would in a restoration of this sort. The 911T’s most recent owner - a friend of ours - purchased the car and has owned the 911T for the last 6 years. Shortly after he purchased the Targa he took it to the Streets of Carmel car show in Carmel, CA, and won a trophy and wound up showing it at several other car events after. All of the previous owners of this example took excellent care of this spectacular Porsche. These cars were considered to be "deluxe" 911s, and higher in price compared to a standard 5-speed manual transmission, and included factory air conditioning. It comes with a Porsche COA, receipts going back to the earlier days of ownership, recent receipts, manual for the Sportomatic transmission and a detailed maintenance record book with stampings. This very stylish Black on Black 911T is a striking example that is ready to enjoy out on your favorite road or be shown at your favorite classic car event!

Crazy price if you ask me but seller is happy I’m sure

Guys,

I think the buyer got a good deal. It’s a matching numbers coupe with an original paint code of gemini blue. Yes, it probably needs about $80K to $100K for a bare metal restoration as well as a engine and transmission rebuild but then you would have a fully sorted longhood in pristine gemini blue paint!

[camarilla]

So we should probably define a “good deal” then. $80k-$100k on top of $55k including fees (excluding wait times) brings you into 911S territory

I disagree. If a fully sorted 911S could be had for $160K then I’ll take two!!

Realistic pricing for a 911S is closer to the $200K and $275K range based on condition.

My eyes are drawn to the mismatched decklid badging. The model designation and badge of shame should be gold given the car has the comfort package.

I've never seen the Sporto fluffed in quite that fashion. I couldn't see myself ever doing the same.

How are we defining fully sorted or realistic pricing. Check the 911S (or BaT for that matter), plenty of 911S selling (or RNM) below $200k

Good catch on the decklid badging. I missed that on my quick initial scroll-through, but immediately fixated on the pedal cluster. So obvious in retrospect. Funny what our eyes are attuned to looking for

Agreed on the marketing strategy.

The pedal cluster looks okay for a Sporto from what I can see, but the Coco Mat of course is not.

I'd think if that much effort was put into making the car as nice as it appears, you'd go the extra few feet and get the badging correct.
