As much as I hate to say it, the time has come to sell my wonderful 1991 Carrera 2 Targa. I've accepted a position in Bermuda and I can't take my C2 with me

But that means that someone else will get to be the proud owner of this beautiful car. I've also listed this car on AutoTrader.com and I'll link to that listing as soon as it becomes active.

Here's the skinny:

It has come time for me to sell this fantastic car. This car was my dream when I was in high school and I was lucky enough 4 years ago to buy this car from an Army relo in Richmond, VA who still had California plates on it. When I moved to Chicagoland 3 years ago I started taking the train to work and have since put hardly any miles on this car.

The only modifications from stock are the following:

- upgraded CD player (with iPod in) and door & back deck speakers.
- Bilstein sport suspension
- ride height set at Euro RS spec
- 17" Porsche rims and low profile tires
- RS engine fan hub

This car has been nothing but a joy to own and drive. The only mechanical issue I've had is when the alternator fan bearing went out and I replaced it with the RS fan hub.

The color is called "coral red" and it is more unusual than the typical Porsche "guard's red." It's the original color and it looks awesome!

I'm happy to answer any questions and to arrange showings at my house in Highland Park, IL. I've tried to price this car to sell quickly. I have a move date set and am sorry that this car can't join me.

Here's the AutoTrader advert. You'll notice I recycled some verbiage: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...id=AT-12dbabe7

What did he notice about the plastic shroud? That it was there? No compression/leakdown? That would probably have to be done given the mileage. Good looking car though!

The shroud had a crack in it. I hadn't noticed it. As he was showing me the crack it got bigger as the flexible plastic is not so flexible any more. It's part #1 in this diagram:

$58 for a replacement and a few screws. Of all the parts to be cracking, that's not a bad choice
