It took Porsche 20 years to convert a Targa into a convertable -- mostly because they had to figure out how to reinforce the car so that it wouldn't flex -- especially when driven hard. I wonder how many of those reinforcements were done to this car?

Personally, your car do with it what you want.... Just be accurate in your descriptions...

This 911 still has a lot of potential going for it, such as
Weld a coupe roof on
Correct it back to long nose, keeping wide fenders
Put a duck tail on it
Toss the twist wheels and put some RSR Fuchs or 17" faux
Paint it orange with black Carrera scrips

What do you get?

'72 with a 3.2 and G50 - long nose wide a$$ RSR'sh hot rod! :cool:

The coup d'gras - drop a Rothsport 3.8 slide valve monster in it and call it done! :p

To each his own. :)

I'm with 911freak. I recently very seriously considered buying a '69S that had a full turbo body conversion on it. The ONLY reason I didn't buy that car was because it has been clipped across the gas tank and had the 930 front end grafted on the front 20% of the chassis. Some other Pelican got it and maybe it will pop up at some point.

If I bought this '72, I would return it to targa, longnose front end and bumpers and paint it blue, like Roger Penkse's special order Carrera RS Targa one of a kind. For a street rod I'd be happy with a targa.

Feigelein was a senior officer married to Eva Braun's sister. He was the head of the SS.

Given it's Hitler's girlfriend's sister's husband who has the Porsche it adds an even funnier (turbo) twist to the whole parody.

These guys suck. They won't even drop a deuce without using German toilet paper.

...this.

....or....

I've seen some backdated G50 Speedsters that look pretty hot. Maybe head that direction with this. Return it to a longhood, but keep it wide body...could be a pretty sweet cab. If you like that kind of thing....

Definitely not a "goner" here.
