I also have an 84 Targa, with an aftermarket stereo that doesn't work. The last thing I will ever put in the car is a new stereo, lol. I like to keep the top off and listen to the wind and engine.

I have friends in Burbank, so if I had enough notice I would try to fly out for it. I've been hoping for something like this for a long time.

I took my '84 Carrera on a 100 mile drive to my office this morning. First 50 miles ran like a top. Pulled off the freeway to get on a local road, downshifted on the ramp appropriately in traffic,...

Newb question: Where would the rubber coupling be? I now where the U joints are, though I've never looked at mine. I'm wondering where I might find the rubber coupling to give it a once over. Thanks.

I am pulling the alternator tomorrow, and will get a local Pelican to refer me to a shop to have it checked/fixed.
