@DFried I have a PDF of the Carfax. I just asked for it to be added to the listing. Hopefully it will be up soon.
Carfax????
@Greejeff it looks like the undercarriage pics have been added to the listing. It does not appear that the video has been loaded yet. I am not sure if it can be added to the listing or not, hopefully it can. If not, I can try to get it sent to you somehow, if you have a file sharing site that you use.
@Greejeff I have loaded 13 more pics to the Pcarmarket file share of the floor pan, suspension, underside of the engine, and wheel wells, and have asked these as well as a video of the car running be added to the listing. Hopefully they will be up soon.
@calebbmcdonald thank you, also any undercarriage pics?
@Greejeff I do indeed have one. It doesn't look all to professional as I am not so great with the video app on my phone. I will see about having it loaded up to the auction listing as soon as I can.
Any running videos?

@calebbmcdonald I forgot to mention it also has fully rebuilt shift linkage with all new linkage and shifter bushings and couplings.
@OIBEric I believe the name for the interior color was “sand beige”. In terms of the 915 gearbox it shifts flawlessly. It has a rebuilt pedal box with bronze bushings, new clutch cable, and fresh service with fluid change. Everything works as it should including ice cold AC due to a full
Upgrade kit from Griffiths.
Beautiful Targa. Can you confirm the interior color? Not sure if it’s the lighting or actual color, but appears almost beige.
Also, is it immediately drivable? Any issues with the 915 transmission? Thank you.

Wow.....this one looks really nice and original. I've been driving Targas like this since '84, so I should have an eye . I've got an '89 in the garage with 182K that is a dead ringer for this one, at least on the exterior, except for the fender mounted antenna and sugar scoops.
SW chip, cat bypass and Bursch is a great way to go......next best thing short of SSI heat exchangers.
I'm in CA, and don't know the car or Seller,......but this one is definitely worth a close look if you're in the impact bumper market!
