1976 Porsche 911S Targa (Carrera/911SC Look) with a 3.0 Litre 911SC Engine This is the perfect for the sports car enthusiast! This car has its roots in the Pacific Northwest. It was originally bought in Seattle. The car has three previous owners. The first two were a Father and then his son. The previous owner had it for 10 years. Here are some of the qualities of this 911S. It has a decent body (other than the valance panel and one ding by the right wheel opening), there is no rust, it has the original Targa soft top and the authentic Carrera/Fuchs 15" rims. The car was upgraded to the Carrera/911SC wide rear fenders and a complete repaint of the original Silver color (likely done by the first or second owner). The paint still looks shiny, but it does have some spots of fading and chips. The rear fender widening was done with the good quality steel fenders instead of the common fiberglass. This wider look gives this 911S the popular and highly sought after “Carrera/911SC” look. The motor was also replaced with a 1978 3.0 911SC motor. The 3.0 SC engine is by far one of the best, most durable and longest lasting motors that Porsche has ever built. This engine has the 930 Turbo Valve covers and the upgraded Carrera chain tensioners. Unfortunately the miles of the engine are not known. The 5 speed transmission (915) shifts good and the clutch is good and strong. This Car is a fun to drive and enjoy. It has plenty of power, steers and handles well. With the Targa top off and the wind blowing it's a trill to drive. All the gauges, heating and electrical systems work, including the clock! With the repairs I made, I would not hesitate to drive this 911S anywhere in the USA. Here is a list of parts and repairs that I have done: · Rebuilt Pedal Clutch, Brake & Accelerator Cluster with new brass bushings & new pedal pads $40 · Rebuilt the factory Short Shifter with new Ball, Shaft and Shift Coupler bushings $30 · Complete removal of the engine, transmission and CV axles to repair oil leaks & worn parts. 25 hours= $90 flat rate/ $2,250.00 · Replaced all the following with brand new Genuine Porsche OEM Parts: Oil Cooler seals. $15 Oil Thermostat seal $5 Upper engine oil hose housing gasket $3 Oil Temperature sending unit $20 Accelerator linkage bushings(on engine) $18 Fuel Regulator Gasket & O-Ring seals $16 Front and Rear hood/engine lid struts. $55 New Front & Rear Brakes PBR Ceramic $55 Lube, Oil & Mahle OC54 Filter $35 Muffler Gasket $8 All four CV Joint Boots $70 Fresh Air Heater Hose Intake $60 Heater Air Hose (Orange) $25 Factory Engine Sound Pad $75 New Front KYB/Koni Struts $150 Better set of front tires (60% tread) $100 Thoroughly pressure washed/cleaned engine, transmission, engine bay & chassis This engine and transmission runs smooth and strong. The engine does not leak any oil, nor does it consume any oil. It runs strong, clean and it should meet any State DEQ emissions standards/requirements.

Appraisal: PCA-Panorama Magazine February 2009 edition ranked the 74-77 911S as one of the most affordable editions on the market today. I have researched some values of cars through Ebay, Hemmings, TraderOnline and NADA.com. NADA Classic Car Guides Aug. 29, 2010: August 29, 2010 PRICING Low Retail Average Retail High Retail Base Price $16,900 $19,200 $25,700 TOTAL PRICE $16,900 $19,200 $25,700 Summary: Based on the NADA guidelines, this 1976 Porsche 911S 2 door Targa would meet the “Average Retail Value” standards and be worth $19,200. With all that said and with today’s economy I'm not going to hold out for a full retail price. Instead I would like someone else to take ownership of this car and begin to enjoy driving it and at the same time give it that TLC it needs to make it even more enjoyable. So the reserve is set modestly and the “buy it now” is a great value! Notes: The car is sold as is and there are no warranties. Shipping is available and completely at the buyers full expense. I will deliver the car to any reputable auto transport facility in the Portland Oregon area
