Buy it before the price doubles in 6 months! Everything air cooled is going for crazy prices.

Prices have more than doubled here in the Bay Area.

What's crazy is that my dad bought his '91 964 Targa (C2) w/ 145k miles in mid-2011 for about $17k, and that's after the previous owner sunk $13k into it in the three years before he sold it. Also included an engine re-seal as well.



I know some dislike the old targas, but I think they're fantastic. He does need to have the roof on his rebuilt, however (to eliminate wind and water leaks).

Congrats on the new aquisition Tom!

I don't think you will mind my pointing out an omission in the PPI report: Steering Wheel needs replacement. It was made by "Grant" so it has a adapter & there are over 30 wheels that will bolt on easily including a "Prototipo" replica.

Ha! Yes, I agree. I think that a Prototipo is definitely one of the first things to do!

She is a beauty! Well done Tom!

Prototipo: yes please

This car is a regular at my mechanic's shop. Backdated 78 SC, 1968 Prototipo (370mm) with carpeting and RSR door panels from Appbiz.
If weight weren't a big consideration (this car is just over 2100#) I would have loved seeing the distressed leather on the dash too.

Wow. That is beautiful.

Another memorable Targa I came across in an issue of European Car a while back.
