This 1977 Porsche 911S Targa is a fantastic three owner, 45,000
mile example of the factorys continuing efforts in the 1970s to
produce world class sports and racing cars. This is a well optioned
Targa with air conditioning, power windows, a special order Copper
Brown Metallic paint and a Blaupunkt Bamberg Radio. In all genres
of collectible and historical artifact, few things are valued more
than originality. Well preserved and cared for examples of rare and
relevant pieces of history have no substitute in terms of
importance in the historical record. From historically relevant
fine art to the time tested mechanical ingenuity of a by gone era,
well-kept original examples are the most desirable. The car shows
very few signs of age or abuse and has a little over 45,000
original miles on the odometer. It has had but three owners from
new and comes complete with a Porsche Heritage Certificate.This
911S retains nearly every option available on a 911 in this trim at
the time, including power windows, air conditioning, and the
optional Blaupunkt Bamberg radio. BODY: The body of this 911 is one
of the many high points of the car. With the exception of very
minor touch ups, the paint is in original condition. All of the
body panels are ripple, dent, and rust free and dont appear to have
ever had any sort of body or accident damage.The glass and seals
are in excellent condition and there are no leaks evident. The
windshield is original and also in very nice condition. The body
trim, including the stainless steel and rubber, is in excellent
condition. Everything needing attention and detail was attended to.
INTERIOR: The interior was the subject of intensive preservation,
as is trimmed in the original and unrestored partial tan leather
seating areas and original carpeting. The seating areas are in
beautiful condition, with no rips, tears, or wear evident. The door
panels are also in the same condition as is the trim. All of the
accessories, including the climate control, are in perfect working
condition. The windows power up and down and work perfectly. The
trunk is in very nice condition, the trunk covering is in excellent
condition with no rips, tears, or missing pieces, and the spare
tire is accounted for and in very nice condition. Most important,
the mechanism that opens and closes the gas lid is in perfect
working order. UNDERCARRIAGE: The underside of the car is exactly
what a low-mileage car should look like. It was not in any type of
harsh climate or abused at any time over its life. It is very solid
and very well preserved and shows no evidence of any accident
damage. It is in amazing condition. ENGINE and ENGINE COMPARTMENT:
The powerplant in this Porsche is the original 6-cylinder engine.
It has not been restored and is completely original and unmodified.
All aspects of the motor are in perfect working order, and the
compression ratio is exactly where it should be. The engine bay has
been preserved and has all of the original specifications with all
components in operational condition. Every detail of the engine
compartment is Porsche Correct and beautifully presented. It would
be difficult to find an original engine compartment with a better
presentation. All engine and drivetrain maintenance is up to date,
including the following services: -oil and filter change -air
filter replacement -installation of new fuel filter -installation
of new drive belts -lubrication of entire chassis -full service of
the braking system including new pads and fluid flush TRANSMISSION:
The five-speed transmission in this car is in perfect working order
and functions as it should. It shifts through all of the gears
smoothly and is the original transmission to the car. TIRES,
WHEELS, and BRAKES: The wheels are original Fuchs 6s and 7s which
are very special in and of themselves. They were restored two years
ago by a marque expert and are in beautiful condition, as you can
see in the photos. A lot of time and effort was placed into the
difficult restoration of the wheels.The tires are in very nice
condition and are not in need of replacement at this time. They and
are the correct and original size replacement for the Fuchs wheels.
The entire braking system has been gone through to ensure every
part works as it should. All rotors, pads, and seals have been
replaced and brake fluid flushed. OVERALL DRIVING IMPRESSIONS: This
911 runs and drives as should. The 6-cylinder powerplant runs and
accelerates smoothly and very quickly and the transmission shifts
as it should. The car drives around town and on the open road with
no squeaks, creaks, or rattles. It has had all of the necessary
service recently performed including oil-change, tune up,
installation of new battery, etc. It needs absolutely nothing to
drive, show, and enjoy. All of the mechanical aspects of the car
work as they should. PLEASE NOTE: This Porsche 911S still retains
all of its original or N.O.S. components! This means the engine,
transmission, rear end, etc. are original or correct to the car.
All of the numbers, markings, etc., are correct. It is an original
and very special car that, as evidenced by the low mileage and
condition, has been driven very sparingly and properly cared for.
If youve never driven a 911 of this period, you are in for a treat
with this one! If you are serious about purchasing this vehicle, we
encourage you to inspect it in person and test drive it. For more
