1970 Porsche 911E Targa is up for auction

Between 1969 and 1973, Porsche produced the 911E Targa with fuel injection, which succeeded the Porsche 911F. About 4,600 cars left the production lines and one of them, the 1970 Porsche 911E Targa, is up for auction.

This 911E Targa is powered by an overhauled 2.2-liter flat-six with dual carburetors. The engine is paired with a rebuilt 901 five-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. It is mounted on Fuchs 15″ wheels wrapped in 195/65 Vredestein Sportrac 5 tires.

The car was repainted in Conda Green, properly maintained and is in good condition. It is equipped with a driver-side mirror, a Targa removable roof panel, Euro-style headlights, a split rear bumper with bumper guards, replacement quarter panels, rocker panels, and floor pans, and Bilstein shocks at the rear. The current owner bought the car in 2021 at BaT and then the aftermarket auxiliary lights were removed and a replacement tachometer, interior components, and badges were installed.

Inside, the seats are covered in black vinyl with patterned cloth inserts. Black vinyl also covers the rear bench seat and dash. In front of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 24,988 miles (total mileage is unknown).

Porsche 911E Targa comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, several keys, service records, and a clean Connecticut title in the seller’s name.

The auction ends on November 10 and the highest bid at the time of writing was USD$50,000.

Modified 1967 Volkswagen Beetle is up for auction

The VW Beetle is a legendary car from a German car manufacturer that was the inspiration for the now legendary car from another German manufacturer, the Porsche 911. It was produced since 1938, and in 1998 VW introduced the “New Beetle” which in 2011 was replaced by the last variant of the “Beetle “. It remained in production until 2019, when production ceased. Not many of them survived in their original condition, so they were often modified. One such example, a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle is up for auction.

This Volkswagen Beetle is powered by a modified air-cooled 2,332cc flat-four engine with dual Weber 48IDF carburetors. The engine is paired with a Rancho Pro Street four-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. It is mounted on 16″ Fuchs wheels wrapped in 175/60 front and 215/60 rear Goodyear Assurance tires.

The car is finished in factory Savannah Beige, and is in good condition. It is equipped with 2D1 headlights, running boards, fender-mounted antenna, amber and red taillight lenses, chrome-finished bumpers with overriders, an aftermarket exhaust system, front discs and rear drums.

Inside, low-back front bucket seats are upholstered in beige cloth and vinyl that also covers the rear bench and door panels, with a matching headliner and dash. In front of the driver is a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel behind which is a five-digit mechanical odometer showing 5,682 miles (total mileage unknown). Additional equipment includes a Sapphire V push-button AM radio, front lap belts, and a passenger-side grab handle.

The auction ends on November 10 and the highest bid at the time of writing was USD $20,000. This Beetle is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment in California with a tool kit and a clean Indiana title.

There are many examples of Porsche’s first production car that have been superbly restored, but every owner wants their car to be personalized. This 1958 Porsche 356A 1600 coupe is exactly what most enthusiasts want, a future project.

The car was off the road for more than three decades, and the current owner bought it 25 years ago. Since then, the car was forgotten, and now it’s time for the future owner to breathe new life into it.

The Reutter-built body was in very poor condition. It was stripped and all removable parts such as floor pans, front and rear seats, trim, lenses, door handles, and bumpers were removed, revealing damage and rust. The windshield and rear window were retained in place. The car features an ivory steering wheel while the removed five-digit odometer reads 38,448 miles (true mileage is unknown).

The car comes with replacement parts such as nose panel, fenders, floors, rockers, Bosch headlights, taillights, rear plate light, refurbished wedge signals, horn grilles, bumpers, bumperttes, overriders, remanufactured exterior badges, wiper blades, fender, closing panels, fender supports, headlight buckets, disassembled chrome window trim, brake drums and shoes, window regulators, front and rear seats, steering wheel, horn button, ash tray, speedometer and tachometer cables.

The Porsche 356A 1600 is powered by a disassembled 1.6L flat-four engine (code 81240), paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. It is mounted on 15″ steel wheels wrapped in 195/65 Hankook Optimo H724 tires.

Along with the car, the future owner receives a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name and copies of Kardex documents that list the factory color, identification numbers, and initial delivery to Hoffman Motor Company in New York.
