Hi everyone,

I'm going to see a 1970 Porsche 911T Targa out today, apparently the car has been sitting for 20 years but the engine runs strong. I have owned multiple 996's before but never an older Porsche. Could someone advise me what sorts of things I should check out before I buy this car (other than oil leaks, previous accidents, etc). Are there any common problems on these cars?

The car is a pretty good deal at around $5000 so I will need to make a quick decision and not be able to take it to a mechanic to get it up on a hoist. I'm prepared to do repairs myself once I get the car........

Thanks,

 

What are you looking to do with it? Keep it or just turn it and sell it. I think for 5k though, ether way it sounds like a good deal especially if it runs and not a lot of rust.

 

I was thinking about just buying it as a weekend fun car and possibly fix it up a little make it look nice.....

 

It will be a journey and it will take some time but you will enjoy it. I'm almost done with mine...

 

Did you end up buying it or passing?

That's looking good. You'll have to start a build thread
