1977 Porsche 911

1977 Porsche 911S Targa, 2.7L CIS 6cyl, 5-Spd 915, Fuchs, Rebuilt #s Match Motor

This week, Canyon State Classics brings to market a 1977 Porsche 911S Targa in midnight blue over cork interior. This example comes to us recently out of storage from the original family's garage! The 911S was purchased new at Ted McWilliams Porsche-Audi of Pittsburg, PA on May 16, 1977 where it was said to have lived for a short time before being imported into Alberta Canada. The Targa spent most of its life in Canada where it received a color-change and engine rebuild before being put into storage. This is a great air cooled example for someone looking for a driver quality car to enjoy and or restore down the road.

The following is a list of options as this 911S is currently equipped:

- 2.7L Flat 6 (Rebuilt w Receipt)
- Bosch CIS Fuel injection
- 5 Speed 915 Manual Transmission
- 15" Fuchs Wheels
- Refinished Targa Top
- Recovered Cork Seats
- Owner's Manuals
- Recovered Dash

This Targa was originally delivered in factory Sepia Brown when new in 1977. The car remained its original color until the early 2000's when the car was passed down from one family member to the next. The latest owner elected to have the car color changed to a midnight blue however the inside of the engine bay and under the hood are still brown. As a result of the latest paint job, a handful of surface rust spots have emerged, most notably the one around the rear window (please see photos for all corrosion defects). The body on this targa is straight and shows no signs of previous accident damage or panel replacement. Additionally the decklid center has formed a slight crack within the paint and other chips, scratches and scrapes from usage are pictured. The originally optioned Fuchs wheels are wrapped in BFGOODRICH radials.

The beautiful cork vinyl front seats have been replaced and looks great. The seats are in nice condition with no scuffs and are complimented by OEM Porsche steering wheel. The dash was recovered in matching cork material at the time of the front seat covering replacement. All interior panels and carpet are present and in-tact. This car has the under-dash mounted AC vents however the compressor and bracket have been removed. The tested power functions and lights work great and the targa top was recently recovered.

Mechanically, this Porsche is in solid condition and runs and drives great. It was just though our shop and under the eye of our Porsche certified mechanic who's very familiar with these cars. This 911S has just had a complete tune up including: Battery, Fuel System, Tank Cleaning, Spark Plugs, Oil Change and Hood/ Decklid Struts. Additionally he performed a post-rebuild 5k mile service including: Valve Covers, valve adjustment, re-torque head bolts & clearance inspection. A leakdown test was performed at the time of service and came back at 9% across all 6 cylinders. The car starts right up and goes down the road well. The 5 speed manual moves through each gear as the clutch compliments with solid engagement. Please see the attached documentation for the rebuild of the engine at a Porsche Dealership including the important upgraded timing chain guides!
