High Milaege Targa Chassis, what are the problems?
I am coming out of the closet, I am selling my car and have been avoiding pelican in my sale and have come to realize it was a huge mistake, but that is not my question.
Although now that I am out of the closet I am sure I will have a tale to tell... Anyway, this old 79 Targa has 230,000 miles. Leland Pate did a ton of work on it, I did a ton of work on it... clearly it is not a concourse vehicle, it is a driver. A very nice one at that. It is priced fairly as far as I can conclude. I have had a number of people who turn up their nose as soon as they see the miles.
And honestly when I bought the car it scared me too. So I advertised without the miles just as Leland did. But who am I kidding? And why and I kidding them? And really, what is the issue with miles on a 33 year old car? If everything has been gone through what can go wrong?
Bottom line! Is there a life expectancy on a Targa?
There are certainly an infinite amount of variables but an average driven car with no accidents or rust. A typical garage kept Targa... Can it roll a million miles or more?
Thank you...
I am so happy to be back here writing!
No fear! I am a seller! uhgggg! I love this car too much. How do we heal from this experience?
