959 Targa!

"Up for bid here is a 1975 Porsche 911s Targa that has been modified to look like a 959 Porsche. This Unique Sports Car is in Excellent Condition and ready for the road. This car started life as a 1975 911s Targa, a nice car in it's own right, and about ten years ago the current owner started a 6 year project and spent many, many thousands of dollars to have this 911 modified into a car people dream about owning; a Porsche 959. He hired a well known local Porsche expert to perform the transformation that not only included the all the modifications you see to the body, (yes, he used a Getty body kit) but also upgraded the chassis to include a 1983 911sc 3.0L engine with 32,000 miles on it. He also installed new glass throughout the car and new interior upholstery. Just 4 years ago the body project was completed and quite a bit of mechanical work was done to make this car ready for the road and a pleasure to drive. This work included: a new fuel injection system, engine tune-up, new wheels and tires, rebuilt pedal assembly, a new clutch, new brake pads and rotors, front & rear hood support struts, and some of the dash instruments were also rebuilt. In 2002 & 2003 this car received new, updated Timing Chain Tensioners, Bilstein Shocks in the rear, a New (not rebuilt) alternator, new steering column bearings, a rebuilt shifter assembly, and a new ignition lock. The odometer on this car shows 32,000 miles but the true mileage is unknown. This car turns heads everywhere it goes and is a lot of fun to drive. Now it can be yours! "
