I have my eye on another project. If I miss out, I'll pull the ad. This has been a great car -- it's a rocket ship and a ton of fun to drive. And now all of the scary stuff has been done...at great expense.

My hobby is working on European cars. I pick up solid examples, correct any deferred maintenance, enjoy them for 6mo-1yr and then repeat...usually at a small financial loss. I know, I'm a sadist.
I picked up this Targa in March and performed the following maintenance:
- Passed LNE IMS retrofit prequalification, including pulling the sump and inspecting for debris (none)
- LNE IMS Single Row Pro bearing retrofit (IMS and other original parts replaced available for inspection)
- Rear Main Seal (Porsche updated design, wasn't leaking before, still doesn't)
- Sachs OEM clutch
- OEM Waterpump
- LNE Low-temp thermostat
- Spark plugs
- MAF sensor
- Brake overhaul - rebuilt calipers, OEM rotors, OEM pads, Goodridge SS lines
- Professionally refinished wheels -- sandblast, inspect, powder coated Greenland Silver and ultra gloss topcoat
- New Continental Extremecontact Sport tires
- Cleaned radiators
- Hood lifts
- Fixed heater blend door foam
- Align/balance
- Fresh Joe Gibbs DT40 oil, after Mobil 1 break-in post-IMS
- Fresh coolant vacuum-bled
- and a whole bunch of other odds and ends I'm afraid to add up. I have invoices.
Condition:
Car runs great, is completely caught up on maintenance, and doesn't leak or consume any fluids. It looks great, sounds great, drives great. I know the miles are high. The previous owner put 18k on it in a year as a daily driver. To me, this was a selling point because the car was known to be reliable and they don't like to sit around.
Targa top and sunshade work great. Engine is healthy. I have two Blackstone oil analysis and previous Carfax as well.
Why am I selling?
I have my eye on my next project. If that window of opportunity closes, then I'll pull the ad. Otherwise I'm enjoying the car quite a lot.
Mods, bonuses, other:
- Gundo exhaust hack -- basically a permanently-on PSE. Car sounds great...very conservative, but not silent. Makes no noise at idle or cruise, just a little snarl on acceleration.
- Kenwood Excelon head unit -- modern Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay integration
I will gladly:
- Facilitate local 3rd party inspections. European Auto Garage would be a good local place in Knoxville, TN
- Arrange transport from the airport for out of town buyers
- Provide any other detail pictures or videos upon request
- Provide references for others that have purchased cars from me.
Thanks for looking!
