Low optioned car would need to be looked at closely.

TJsBeer

Woof! That's a ton of money for a Targa... and I love targas.

creaturecat

retail. really low mileage. rare. looks sweet.
not that far off the mark, price-wise? i dunno.
what should it be worth, with a seller's market ?

I guess people can ask any price they want...makes me love my targa even more. Ha.

My 89 has vin stickers. I remember this because i remembered that one sticker is under the turn signal in the front bumper.

cobalt

Good to know sounds like it was an 89 and 94 thing only. I am assuming there is a sticker on the right hand side behind the signal?

Cobalt what do you mean by low optioned car? Im new to the air cooled world...what options should one look for? Do you mean they are asking too much relative to what options the car has?

cobalt

If you look at the picture of the sticker under the front hood it shows 4 options.

331 CR-1 Cassette radio
454 Cruise control
494 power Amp
650 Sunroof

This car has fewer options than most you will see. It even has the cloth seats since they weren't willing to pay up for the leather.

Interestingly if it had less it would be a very rare car especially if it was missing 650 Sunroof.

Tony, I think the front seats have been reupholstered on that car. Leather seats (well, seating surfaces) were standard already back then and the rears are leather.

Sunroof was also standard, you had to ask for a "delete" option. Ditto for cassette radio and cruise control.

So the car was technically a "no option" car, since nothing in addition to the standard equipment was added. That's how I personally like 'em!

I found a scan of the upholstery brochure I have in archives someplace for 964's yesterday and can't find it today but it shows this fabric as standard and leather as option along with a variation of color combos. If I can find it again I will post it. You could also get Porsche print fabric

Was that brochure for the US? Out of thousands of 964s in the US I've never seen one with cloth seats (except RSA) from the factory.

ROW is a different story.

Netbug

yes, just like that.

cobalt

Right Idea wrong pattern. Cloth was available I have seen it before I don't think it was spec'd that way much. I know two of the 964 turbo S flachbau's came with cloth seats.

You are correct that these were reupholstered because the pattern is wrong but it would be curious if they had cloth initially. I have seen a few 964's with cloth and a couple with the PORSCHE script seats.

Found them, they weren't scans but bad photos but here you go. These are the ROW but I know the US brochure also showed them. My 944 S2 had the PORSCHE script seats when I purchased it. I will do more research I have to find the sellers guide which talks about what was standard vs no cost option vs cost options on interiors. Leather face might be standard and the cloth was a no cost option I will see if I can dig up more. Hard to believe someone would spend so much on a flachbau and not have full leather at least seating faces.

I have all the brochures someplace boxes and boxes of them so it can take time to find these and scan them properly.

cobalt

Would you be able to pick a color from a brochure like this? No wonder so many colors were ordered in small quantities. Without seeing a larger sample I wouldn't have picked most of them myself.

ilko

Great to see those brochures Tony! I'll need stop by some time just to look at your literature!

Now, regarding Flachbaus, they were practically one offs. They got special options that you wouldn't see on other cars. I'm talking regular production cars.

And yes, since 944 and 964 seats are identical the upholstery would show as available for both. The 944 was marketed as the lesser car so cloth seats on them were quite common. On the 911 leather seating surfaces were standard in the US.
