Porsche Crest FenderGuy find a 911 yet?

There is what looks to be a well-sorted 77 targa that just popped up in the Cars for Sale forum. Might be the right one: 1977 911s Targa for Sale 8,500

I think Fenderguy enjoys the "search" more than the "find"...

Thanks for the leads and look out most appreciative ,I am for those that do that. Hmmm at first I was accused of getting my hands on whatever modified abortion of a 911 was out there, and yeah I was a little unknowledgeable or afraid of the 911 engine (costs). But after some knowledge from the board, the engine is not as complicated as I thought it was, and that I can do my own maintaince. After my drive in my potential targa, the ride was a thrill, and found the real reason why I had liked this car all along. I still get an urge to get a slant nose cab, but it passes, but then again it’s whatever 911 I want to get right? As for being called a tire kicker from an arse, well lets see it’s my choice right? Or do I need to get something right away to please your sense that I am not a tire kicker. If it takes me being a tire kicker to avoid the mess with that targa and that horrible shop then so be it. I want to get a 911 that pleases me and not what others think pleases them. Being in this search has shown me there’s a lot of over priced cars out there, I don’t expect a bargain at the owner’s expense, but I will pay for a 911 that pleases me. I am seemed to have annoyed a lot of people in this forum with my opinions on what is overpriced, but that’s all they are opinions . It seems this forum is lacking that people have opinions. BTW awaiting to see if an owner of 1983 SC Cab wants to sell or not.....

everyone has their own style of doing things. if Fendeguy wants to take his time with his purchase and "tire kick" as many 911s as he wants, that's his right. he shouldn't be criticized over it . it's better to take your time and find a good one than to jump into one head first and have problems later..


good luck with your search

Good luck on your search fender guy - the SC Cabs are on of my favorites - even if they do have CIS...

And some of you guys should have been around with Nostatic and his Carrera and then selling his Carrera and then his SC - now that was classic!

Fenderguy,

I admire your caution in picking out a car. I tend to let impulses get the better of me and because of it, drove a Targa for over nine years all the while wanting a coupe. Stick to your guns and go for what you want! BTW, I FINALLY have a coupe! (anyone looking to buy a Targa? )
