Restored 1971 Porsche 911E Targa

Description

This is a beautiful 1971 Porsche 911E Targa, that has recently been restored to its original color scheme of Irish Green over black. This car spent many years in the dry climate of New Mexico, then in North Carolina for approximately 10 years before coming back west to California, where it now resides. The car possesses its original numbers matching engine, complete with MFI, and a period correct 901 5-speed transmission. When I bought this car several years ago, it had been repainted an emerald green and was showing signs of age, but otherwise ran great. I kept this car in my home in North Carolina for several years before bringing the car back to California recently.
In California, the car has received a comprehensive restoration that was just completed, which included the following:
- Complete bare metal glass out respray in the original Irish Green
- New rubber seals throughout the car
- New suspension bushings throughout
- New front and rear shocks
- Professionally restored targa top
- New rear wheel bearings
- Restored brake system, with rebuilt calipers and new rotors
- Powdercoated suspension components
- Engine out service with re-sealed motor
- New carpet
- Newly recovered front seats with houndstooth inserts
- Restored door pockets
- 2 new Interstate U911 batteries
- I'm sure I'm forgetting something
The car is a pleasure to drive and ready to be enjoyed. Excellent gaps throughout. Solid original floors and front pan, a testament to the years spent in a dry climate. Most trim is original and in excellent shape. COA in hand confirms engine is original to the car. This car was originally equipped with a sportomatic transmission, which has been replaced with a period correct 901 5-speed transmission. Numerous additional photos of the car are available, but eBay will no longer allow me to post a link. Contact me via eBay and I will be happy to send a link.
In person pre-purchase inspection is welcome. The car is located in Van Nuys, CA and can be seen BY APPOINTMENT during normal business hours before auction closing. There is a lift at my location. The car is sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Very reasonable reserve. Please keep in mind that even though the car has been restored, it is still 45 years old and will require more love, care and maintenance than a modern car. I own a restoration shop that specializes in Porsches and we restored this car in our shop. This is one of my personal vehicles and I have a clear North Carolina title in my name. I have over a dozen Porsche in my collection, but a change in circumstances necessitates the liquidation of most of them. I have sold many cars all over the world and am happy to assist with shipping, but you must finalize arrangements and make payment directly. Please email me via eBay and I can provide a phone number to discuss any questions you may have. $1000 deposit due via PayPal upon auction closing, with the balance of the purchase price to be paid via wire transfer, cash or cashier's check within 7 days.
Thanks for looking.

A few additional items to note:
- The rear parcel shelf and trim piece is new and newly recovered, as well as all of the small interior trim around the interior of the windshield and the B-pillar
- Steering wheel is original and in good shape, with a small amount of cracking of the original leather cover in one area
- Dash is original and has a small crack forward of the speaker grill at the narrowest point, but is otherwise crack free and in very good condition
- The car has four original Fuchs with Vredestein tires. The spare is a 5.5" steel wheel
- The car does not have a tool kit. I do have an owner's manual for the car.
