I know there is alot of cross over here, so I thought I would ping the collective knowledge base.
He is not looking for a restoration project, but doesn't mind working on it either. He is pretty set on getting a targa as it will only be a fair weather driver (weekends, etc). No a/x plans for now, but who knows. Any advice on years to avoid, specifics to look for, good books for research, etc. would greatly apprieciated. This will be his first Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Just look for rust. Look everywhere. Or, look for quality repairs.
These little cars are appreciating in both value and respect lately. I don't think any more engine conversions would be wise. A while back it was almost the norm. As they appreciate, a good 912 will be a good investment. |
