Default New 3.2 Targa owner

Im usually on the 996 board and have learned so much about the H2o world… so now I am venturing on a new realm of the original air cooled universe, I am looking forward to learning about these beautiful machines.

The car was originally from NJ (Paul Miller Porsche), the PO owner moved to CO and was sold to a Texan, the last previous owner brought it back to the east coast to NY and It is now back to NJ…. I am 5 min away from Paul Miller Porsche. The Targa is an 86 Meteor Grey and Burgandy interior. She needs a lot of attention but the engine was rebuilt 30k miles ago and has 130k on her. Leak down test came out good with some slight weeping in the engine area, no oil drips.

Anyway, I am so psyched to get her up to snuff and will be modding her for for occasional DE…. looking forward to collaborating on this board.

and.... Ed and Marc, thank you for all your feedback and assistance!

I like the G77. What is that, a Mercedes Benz? I wonder what Burlwood desk accesories would look like.

The Porsche 911 Targa looks to be very solid, and well-maintained!

That's gorgeous! You are one of the lucky ones who has a choice on any given day when you walk out to the garage: which one to drive today?

Hi Ferdinand,

Nice Targa..don't those sport seats feel great?

Nice 996 too. Is it a Millennium Edition?

Good luck getting your car sorted.
