poli84 Posted 14December, 2017 Report Share Posted 14December, 2017 I'm not sure if this has been covered previoulsy, but does anyone have the numbers on 3.0 Carrera Targas that made it to Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavn Posted 15December, 2017 Report Share Posted 15December, 2017 I've got a copy of the exact numbers somewhere but 14 stands out for some reason....68 is another number that sticks in my mind which I believe to be RHD Carrera 3.0's in Targa trim. I'm pretty sure the same copy I have has been posted here (listing all numbers relating to impact bumper carrera's whether they be 2.7 or 3.0 from '74 to '77). The 'impact bumper' forum (https://www.impactbumpers.com/forum/) is also a good source of information along with Ferdinand (http://www.ferdinandmagazine.com/porsche-911-2-7-versus-carrera-3-0-compare) where there are a few C3.0 articles. There used to be a Carrera 3.0 site, including a worldwide register but I can't seem to find it now.....I believe it was maintained by John Glynn who looks after the ferdiandmaagazine site....apologies if you already know all this. poli84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best guess at least half would be factory sporto. poli84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting that the Carrera 3.0 would be delivered in Sport, even more interesting the high percentage. Gavn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 18December, 2017 Report Share Posted 18December, 2017 That might be why a red Targa Sporto in below average condition sold for absolutely stupid money at an auction in Launceston late last year / earlier this year. Price was some $65k from memory, with an awful lot of work to do.... I'll see if I can find some photos to confirm it is a 3.0L but it might have been one of the 14. From memory it was a '77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted 18December, 2017 Report Share Posted 18December, 2017 I have one of the sporto engines (930/12). Happy to return it to its original body for a large sum of cash :-) Somehow I doubt that'll ever happen. Nice to dream though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory it was a '77 Yep, found photos, was plated 12/77. Had 196,000 kms on it, so that was probably low for age then, although I suspect it hadn't been used much for the prior 10-12 years, last service sticker was 04....

Pretty sure the lime green 74 Carrera Targa from Adelaide is\was also missing the all important compliance plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that rings a bell with the Adelaide car ... just never taken note of when it went from token chassis number plate to full compliance - seems it's in line with the impact bumper / ADR?
