Had an air box explode in 1974.
Quartz clock innards replaced twice, no other problems.
Of the many expensive cars I have owned, this is the best put together, designed and performing auto I have ever been in.
Tires last forever.
Price has appreciated 400% since I bought it new.
New 997s pale in comparison.
I had a 2.4 911T in the 80's. loved it. It ran circles around all subsequent air cooled 911's...wish I still had it.
I've owned a Porsche Targa 73.5 CIS 2.4 since 2003.
It took 2 years to renovate this beauty and I am very proud of the result.
The car is fun to drive even in the traffic, and most of all on mountain roads.
