Selling the Targa...

https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/1144076-1977-targa-row.html

Not sure what a decent price to ask would be. Maybe you guys can help out?

A 1977 ROW number 1265. It has 95,000 miles. A 4 speed - yes you read that right. The top is original vinyl and in very good to excellent shape. I have another fiberglass hard top on her now. She has been wrapped but I kept her the same Gran Prix White. There were a few blemishes that were fixed and instead of giving her a $10K paint job I wrapped her for under $2K.
It has the original 5 blade fan. She never got hotter than 100C so I never saw the need to put in an 11 blade.
Things done to her in the past 500 miles:
- 2nd gear Syncro replaced
- Replaced all shocks and mounts
- Front and rear brake pads and rotors replaced
- Replaced front wheel bearings
- Wheels original Fuchs, power coated though
- brand new Michelins
- Axle seals replaced
- New plugs, wires, and distributor cap
- Resealed crush washers on oil sending unit adaptor
- Cross-over pipe and multiple cracks on exhaust welded
- New shift coupler and bushing
- Replaced Sway bar and bushings
- Intake and exhaust valves adjusted
- Installed Carrera chain tensioners with oil lines
- New driver’s side window motor and new window switches installed
- New steering wheel bushing
- Pop-off valve Installed
- Engine oil and Transmission oil changed often
The only non-OEM on her is the are the seats (a horse ate one, previous owner replaced them), and the radio/CD by Alpine which works 95% of the time until you really want it to then you have to jam a folded up business card in the front panel.
Why do I want to sell her? I never drive her and it’s a shame to keep her tucked away.

What’s the story with the door gaps. Both look a little loose.

I was thinking the same thing the way it disappears as it hits the rocker panels.

Cool car. Too bad it wouldn't do well in CA with the smog req's.
I'd get some pics up of the interior and engine.

I don't think you'll get more than a $5k for it but I'm feeling generous and will give you $10k cash for it. PM with your contact info.

It's a bit time consuming to put together the listing but BaT will accept basically any 911 and they tend to do quite well if you are attentive to questions and run the auction weil.

A friend just bought a similar '76 for $33 last week.. Prices have come down a little in the last year. I would guess @$35-38
