Another P-Car in the Family

Found a '85 Targa that was too good of a deal to pass up. Needs a little work, but that is the fun

. Very nice car.

Just thought I would share

Oh, and here is a picture of its brother, a '90 C4.

Another Targa owner. Not real fond of the wheels but the car looks good from the photo. Congrats

I have to agree with the Dr. Those wheels aren't the best looking but otherwise it looks to be a really nice car. You'll have to bring it to the next NC fun run. Congrads!

Those wheels scream 944 ;-)

Congradulations Jim! You are one lucky man.
Looks like a very nice place where you live too, is that your farm in the background? Gorgeous!
Have fun, and good luck fixing her up!

Interesting - looks like someone installed a turbo tail later, as the body doesn't look like it has the turbo-look option (rear flares aren't big enough). Congrats - it looks like a nice car. Wheels aren't that bad, but I'd personally look for some nice Fuchs

Rob,

Thanks,

We have a small horse farm in Hickory NC
The C4 needs some work too, someone clipped the drivers front fender...

Chris M,

I am not sure what the story is with the tail other than it appears to be OEM. I have the number of the wrench who has worked on the car since it was new. Need to give him a call to get the 'rest of the story' on the tail. You are correct, it does need some Fuchs too.
