Porsche Targa for Miata Trade

Not mine. I wasn't sure where to put this since it's over $2011, but I thought that with Miata content, there might be some interest here.

1976 Porsche 911 Targa - $6900 (NNJ) Date: 2011-03-19, 2:21PM EDT Reply to: sale-prhbv-2274431702@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

I'm selling a 1976 Porsche 911 Targa euro.This is a bare bones car with 4spd no ac or power windows which makes the car very light and nimble.The car has about 130,000 miles but the engine was totally rebuilt with all the upgrades and has about 40,000 miles on it.Mechanically it's in very good condition but needs paint and very light body work.The interior is in exc. cond. but the targa top needs to be recovered.I've owned the car for about 10 yrs and have the reciept for the rebuilt engine.It is a very dependable car,all the electrics work even the clock that keeps perfect time.I'm asking $6900 and would rather sell it but would consider a trade for a Mini Cooper S,VW GTI or maybe a Mazda Miata of equal value.

Price seems high given the need for paint on at least the passenger side of the car

Even with the gimpy wheels (ATS cookie cutters do not seem popular) and the pain issues the price seems okay based on what I saw come across the For Sale section of the Pelican forum.

Price is exactly where it should be for that car in that condition.

In reply to Woody:

Almost certainly worth more parted out, I would think.

Seems spot on. If a 911 runs and is relatively straight it has around 10k in parts value (plus or minus a little depending on engine - 3.2>3.0>2.7). Targas are less loved, but the valuable parts are all there.
