9er Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Not that I am qualified to comment on the Lime green MFI Targa, but I can assure people that it is not unusual for Australian delivered 1974 and 1975 Porsche cars to arrive without compliance plates (about 1 in 5), over the years there have been various theories as to why.Also addressing the yellow paint mention....I also noticed this on my 1975 Lime green Targa so I would suggest that is normal also.

turboT Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 (edited) Here's the eBay ad http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PORSCHE-1974-911-CARRERA-TARGA-MATCHING-NUMBERS-AND-AUSTRALIAN-DELIVERED-/222158589622?hash=item33b9af0eb6:g:GqIAAOSwepJXZpsbif the infamous MFI is the reason for the high number why not talk about it in the AD?

Peter M Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Suspect old mate doesn't know what he has and is just relying on the sketchy details some the budding buyers let slip when it was first advertised. Assuming it's all genuine saying it's one of 659 ish Carrera Targa made that year would fill out the advert copy a bit more.Then again, this something is valuable just because it is rare shit is lost on me. Surely if they were that good they would have made shit loads of them! LOL turboT, Rob, ANF and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont say the word flipper round here , thats as bad as eating shark fin soup .. to the Lime Green targa Greenys on this forum…. The walls have ears..and I can assure you I dont have ticket stubs from any air travel this week..or lastBut I do have a ticket for this circus…. Go on I dare you lets get this auction running , bid 150k and I will happily bid another 500 in $1 dollar increments to make the ebay listing stats look interesting , Or list yours along side at starting $100k with a right to cancel the auction..Fun is only a few clicks away…. this PFA forum just became real interesting Its like Gordon Gecko meets the Greedy Lime Green Targa Man, with the sticky tongue ..Maybe MR RACE and MR LEIDERMOCHA will play in the gamePS There is nothing on TV to watch tonight is there ?Remember as an Ebay buyer you can always call foul and they will willingly support you as buyer to give your money back...PPS What are the paypal fees on $150,000 by the way Fraz and michel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symsy Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 good to know, that is if the alleged compliance plate is in fact missing or never been on. gives buyers some confidence if that's the caseGreat Race .. I reckon it will be a little race….Do you know the seller? Wheres the log books , the owners manual , the tool roll , the provenance.. I reckon 150 Lime Green ones deserves that Hmmmm the great compliance plate illusion.. now thats one for discussion in the dirty kitchenIts almost like the three second rule for food dropped on the dirty floorIts like the organic food discussion, isnt or isnt it . Or in when in a East End London Market place." It aint stolen darling , it just aint paid for yet ""What did you say mate , hallmark, this is ya proper vintage stuff , of course its real , the hallmarks worn off, shows how special it is , its well loved, wont be another one …get in why you can" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Some get all gushy when they talk about the wonderful throttle response."My Porscha has wonderful throttle response" Do people ever talk like that? Down here it's goes like a stabbed rat, even in posh circles! Probably because posh people don't know what a throttle actually is. I think "throttle response" is an expression journalists love , as they do "mellifluous exhaust note" or "silky smooth gearshift". Oh yes Peter , like you I can't wait to experience that throttle response! I hope like most things this year it will be "amazing".Any cabs worth a look?

smit2100 Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 (edited) Think I just got a lesson in how the unsuspecting seller who lists an old Porsche up too cheap feels...Put an old HQ 308 1 Tonner i've had in storage for about 10 years up on carsales late yesterday and phone has blown up!I might have to relist at double the price!What is the market price for HQ's? @smit2100 my valuation algorithim is up the shit! Yes the algorithm is on a roll. Per the BOT, that Blue Diamond 996 turbo was / is back at 119k as predicted.The HQ should of been easy one, eg all about the 20's. Eg Haven't seen a decent or straight HQ for twenty years as tey all got bent bumping uglies on the track. I reckon you should of started an ebay campaign with a reserve based on the 20's. Eg $20 dollars per cubic inch of motor capacity . That's an easy $6100 reserve on ebay with the lead pitch being, " Straightest Original HQ Body in 20 years ". Picture showing a bit of originality would have been a treat, eg small patch of duco, buffed up with a polisher and the rest in is barn dust glory and a quick consult with ANF on the photo bomb campaign and you are wel on your way. Then an attachment to the ebay auction ad on a few V8 holden forums and see what happens. Lost opportunity perhaps????.

Oh yes Peter , like you I can't wait to experience that throttle response! I hope like most things this year it will be "amazing". I certainly did on my first drive my first drive in a Porsche (996 turbo), but along polar opposite lines1) Throttle response (very very ordinary below 3500 rpm, those stock twin snails spool up at a snails pace comparatively speaking to what I am used to. Don't start me on you must of had a boost leak comment2) Stock Exhaust note = ANEMIA 3 ) All hyped up about the silky smooth gearshift, but honestly felt as someone had put in a rifle bolt short shifter in the car compared to my daily (no question about directness, but bring back my daily's slopplgear box, (that's way more silky smooth)Couldn't stand it so within three hours of driving ownership, ripped off the stock exhaust and the anemia has been addressed with a 2.5 X pipe setup. Anemica cured and white blood and red cell count improved by 100% in terms of throttle response. However, just now feeling like a slug instead of a snail under 3500rpmPlus off the shelf COBB tune has been purchased to help the slug before I it goes in for a kidney transplant and lets see if the 997.1 shifter mechanism yields (very happy I was advised to move away from the 997 ssk, that must be very short throws) just a yarn of silk Edited 20June, 2016 by smit2100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
