We just found a 1978 Targa that was made into a Cabrio ,
its a manual factory folding top with bad canvas
I am not a fan of Cabrios , I would rather have a coupe
the car has been sitting in inland California all its life with a Palm springs plate frame
solid car , factory rear flares . factory Fuchs alloys still anodized , stock engine lid not a whale tail , stock bumpers , stock front fenders, stock steering wheel etc
3 liter California spec motor with pump and AirCon pump.....turns over with a wrench
less than 50k miles
But it has not run for probably 10 years , it is sitting in a body shop right now and got lien saled for storage !
So I guess the parts to sell would be the motor , gearbox and Fuchs and a few body parts and folding top , but then I am stuck with a shell that would be hard to sell,
If I get it running it is still going to need tires as the P7s are rotted
, top canvas etc
Or I could just sell it and use the $$$ to add to the "Coupe" fund
Is there a market for a 78 "Cabrio" As-is
or would someone put it back as a Targa ? or does someone make a neat hardtop ?
thanks for your thoughts......
