The PO put GT Racing flares on the rear with an RSR bumper. Both glass. The rear flares were actually put on nicely.

Has an AIR rear wing that is way too large for this little car. So original deck lid is missing.

Front fenders are glass too. Stock looking with RS front glass bumper.

The doors are steal but the PO cut the inside window structure of the doors out to lighten. There is still about 4 " of the inner structure around the inside of the doors.

The PO was going to put a carbon dash in so he cut the dash out in front of the passenger but left the instrument cluster.

Does not have the original folding targa top but a fiber glass hard top.

No Fuchs , has some nice one piece BBS rims with a nice deep lip like Turbo 8 and 9's look.

The positive , I cannot find rust anywhere n this car. The chassis is really nice and appears to never have been hit.

Has the original heavy front long hood though it has been drilled for hood pins.

Personally I have restored a few early 911's with rust and I believe it would be easier and less expensive to correct the issues this car has then it is to do floor pan replacements, correct rusted jack points/rockers or the front "horse shoe"

Would this car be worth 15K as a roller ?

Probably.

Nothing's too ugly. If it's not all rusted it's all worth saving in my mind.

Vz935 doesn't make It out of the 930 forum much but I'll vouch for any car yes selling being as described. I agree with the rough vslue tW posted.

It is definitely worth saving. as I said I cannot find a bit of rust anywhere... it is the paint job and lack of quality of paint job that huts the eyes. That being said I will get to it next week and post some photos

1973 911 Targa was the first 911 I ever drove in my life. It was back in 1987. I was 17. I remember that ride every time I think of a 911. Love that '73. Wonder where it went.

A bit off topic but who in their right mind makes a Targa a time trial car?

Not me but it does have a full cage in it.

There was a targa that ran in IMSA back in the day

No clue on value, but I like it. A lightweight longhood racecar....it's like the 90s again!
