Here is my story. I hope that you will like it, as I like it a lot.
I am 54 old and I have spent the majority of my life in Czechia (or in Bohemia if you want :-)).
Air cooled Porsche 911 Targa was always my not reachable dream.
In the middle of 2018 I came to Detroit as expat - working in automotive industry many years, it was only logical step.
Second half of 2018 year was running very quickly to its end. The departure date of my plane back to Prague was already visible in my calendar. In that time I was regularly looking into "Bring the trailer", "Craig list", "Pelican Parts", "Hagerty" and into other sources to entertain pictures of Porsche cars "for sale" or "ready for biding". Typically - final cost was way over my budget.
I spent nice Christmas with my larger family and returning back to Detroit in January. After checking what is new here on forum, I have seen this car:
After quick call with Tate, I was booking first flight to Atlanta and renting the car to final destination. Target for this mission was clear - to check the car in person.
I spent whole rest of that day & night there. And I met very good guys! The car was far away from perfect. But I was not searching for the perfect one. I like some reasonable project. And the journey itself. In summary, the car was running, without major corrosion, probably with some broken head studs (in reality - a lot of them), without targa roof and with tired Braun Pasha interior in back seats(these looked as original), front seats ware completely wrong. The paint is good from 10fts- some areas have very bad overspray. But color looks original - Coper Braun Metallic.
So, next day I was returning back to Detroit as THE OWNER of my first Targa.
