Dude awesome! Can you edit the tag real quick to Traveling Torchbug. Also, What is the name of your town and where it is going to visit to add to my tracker.

Damage sucks, but interior looks pretty good. Don't like that it's been sitting...

some tough damage but it is the right price for a targa if you can fire it up and it doesn't piss oil too much

My brother lives not to far from there - he might check it out. Will need to find a good local indie shop for a PPI if it gets serious, for sure. How easy is it to get that wing off? Would be worried about rust underneath. Wouldn't mind have a driver that is a little beat up, and slowly repairing and improving it over time. Doesn't seem like a bad investment long term, either.

wing isnt too bad to take off, you can inspect it from the inside IIRC. Also + some money on those estimates for a targa

The Hagerty number are for the Targa; I assume the Hemmings (below the link) are all 911s that year.

If your are around Saint Louis, take it to St. Charles Foreign Car. The head mechanic is restoring a similar vintage targa, and they do great work on any car
