1978 Porsche 911 Targa SC review from North America
"This generation of 911 helped keep the 911 around; this car is excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is pristine. I am very picky about my vehicles. so it needs a tune up, new belts and some new fuses.
The fuel pump stopped working; bad fuse.
General comments?
This car is fast, fun and reliable considering that it is 30 years old, all original and never been restored. When I take this car out, it's great to drive and it's a head turner. You can smoke the tires if you choose, or cruise along and enjoy the ride.
