Wow...never seen a G-50 wide body targa before. At Hershey in April there was a wide body turbo cab. I think the coupes/targas are preferred in that no mechanical issues to deal with. Also the turbo I saw was an 88...so a 4 speed. IMHO the non turbo wide bodies with the G-50's are the best of the best of all the 3.2's More pictures please!

If it was a 1987 white targa perhaps it was the same car!

Nice car Barry

Your not going to sell that car at that price to a guy " looking for a 911" . If it is truely a special car ( and I have no doubt it is ) . You wil be looking for someone who is a collector or looking for some thing really special. For that money you could buy a Carrera and maybe have a Spare Carrera in the garage just in case !

Good luck ..

Hey Barry,

This is one great-looking car. In particular, I like the fabric seats. They were an option available in either pinstripe velour or flannel.

I agree with iceman that this is a special car and it would be a shame to let it go for too little money.

Since you're in NE, you might want to contact Richard Sloan in New Haven. He sells rare low-mileage Porsches like this..at what some consider inflated prices. However, if he looks at your car he can at least give you an idea of its market value, and he may even offer you a decent price himself.

Worth a try.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Richard Sloan or his dealership...I've spoken with him on the phone and he e-mailed me some photos of a car I ended up not buying. Just a suggestion...good luck!

Hi Barry-Very Nice!
I have Hagerty Insurance and the latest Hagerty's mag has an article called "Cars To Buy Now" Two Porsches have write-ups; the 1976-89 911 Turbo and the 1984-89 911 Carrera. The later they priced from $8,900-$43,600. You might get your asking price but I have to agree its probably from a collector.
Good luck and let me know it you want the mag to sell with the car.

I agree with Helios/Iceman. You might try posting it on the 911 turbo forum as well. At least there they are accustomed to paying "mid $30's" for a wide body car. GLWS
