OK... I went to see the car...
Could not see much as the gasstation is closed and I could only peek throught the window... but

First of all it IS a coupe... sorry for the wrong remark about being a Targa.

The car was parked with the rear to me so I could not see too much but here is what I believe:

It looks nice.. the paint is still shiny and not as faded as I feared.

I noticed some rust at the end of the rocker panel.. looks like a dent that had not been repaired.

The chrome fittings have seen better days. The rocker covers are so so and the rear bumper is not too straight... but no sign of rust.

The exhaust is obviously not stock (turbo)

The 911S script is silver and the PORSCHE script on the engine lid is gold.

Can it be a Euro car? The tail lenses are yellow and it looks like it has 2 fog lights (I am not a real expert in early cars).

The seats and the steering wheel are not stock.

The dash looks really nice and clean... did the 911s have a logo on the dash? It was too dark but I thought I saw something...

If you want i can go again tomorrow and check the front, the pick up points for the suspensions for rust.
Also I fear the seal between the windscreen and the fenders will hide some rust.
Good news is that I couldnt see any in the rain gutters (my old 88 had some there).

I think it's a decent car for $12k. If it turns out to be a real S even more so.
