Couldn't agree more Nick - but it only leaks if you drive it in the rain.
Cool color, and overall decent shape. My 88 Targa (after I complete a same color respray) is very similar, although considerably more mechanically refreshed and with records since purchase. I am encouraged to see this price point.
Before buying my current Targa I had an 87 Coupe, 72S Targa, and 70E no sunroof. After a 14 year hiatus, I hunted for a Targa since that is what I had enjoyed the most. I will not argue the siren song of the no sunroof pre-impact bumper cars...they hold a special place in my heart, but for cruising, not tracking, the late 80s 3.2 with the G50 transmission checks a lot of boxes. At least for me.
If I want a quiet car, with kick ass AC and all kinds of electronics I wouldn't drive an old 911. The great "hope" for me in this sale is that I can show this to the bride and justify a continued refresh of the 34 year old paint on a rust free solid car, a new clutch and eventually a top end and there is still hope to not be in a deep dark hole. But in all honesty, not sure it would matter to me, I will still do the updates just because I want to and it gives me joy.
