i am kind of interested in a tail dragger. i found the following and was wondering if a) it was a good buy and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) if this is something i'll be happy with.

76 Targa 2.7 CIS
needs top end rebuild ( it may have bent valves )
everything else is quite nice.

i was always partial to this model. i think it is because it was the porsche i always thought i wanted when i was growing up.

$6k?

The '75 to '77 911s all had thermal reactors in place of the catalytic convertors that appeared on the first SCs. These wonderful devices burnt up the engines in short order. If you still need to smog the car in CO, then I'd pass on any car in that age range. If you don't, then you can replace the reactors with earlier heat exchangers, and rebuild the engine properly and competely (will run you about $10-12K). The 2.7s really stretched the mag cases to their limits, and the reactors just pushed it over the edge. The SC is vastly more reliable (200-250K engines), and you could probably find a nice one for less than the $17-18K this one will cost you to before you have a nice car.

btw, MikeZ will tell you that buying a 911 will make your winky smaller...
