Inside, this Targa 4S highlights a luxurious Stone-Grey leather interior with heated and power operated front seats. Custom features include red seatbelts, front and rear cameras, a Bluetooth interface and an upgraded flat-bottom carbon fiber steering wheel.
Commanding an original sticker price of over $105k, this Targa comes equipped with exclusive factory options including the BOSE High-End Sound Package, Sport Chrono Package Plus and Navigation Module for PCM. The interior is stated to be in excellent shape and all gauges, electrical components and accessories are reported to be fully functional.
The original 3.8 L flat-six engine has been professionally converted to a 4.0 L displacement by PowerTech in New Jersey with an estimated power output of over 400 HP. The seller confirms that documentation has been kept throughout the entire build process.

@Miguel car drives perfect no issues .
@jaynar the engine was broken in as per the instructions.
@Miguel seats are the upgraded Sport adaptive Seats and they are two tone.
@Miguel the motor does not burn any oil, the last oil change was done about 1,000 miles ago. The oil is changed every 3,000 miles with Porsche oem oil filter and liqui moly oil.
Hi was the engine broken in per the instructions? When was the last oil change?
Bid in the amount of $30,997
Also - are the seats two tone? The pictures make it look like the leather on the center seat back is grey whereas the rest of the seat is black.
Does the engine burn any oil? Any driveability issues?
@JakeH LN Engineering also were the guys who did the machining on the block as well.
@hcordero Yes now I see it.....LN Engineering....very good choice!
@JakeH Once your engine is apart, at the point it’s recommended to have it replaced . The manufacturer of the ims bearing is LN Engineering. I’ve also listed the picture on the block, of the serial number that comes with the bearing showing the upgraded bearing #.
@JC688 more hp, new engine. Avoiding failure to the infamous bore scoring and ims failure.
@hcordero Yes, thank you it is a very detailed list. My question was more specific to the IMS bearing upgrade. Do you the manufacturer of this IMS upgrade kit?
Beautiful car.
Does the rebuilt engine burn oil?
Is there a reason for rebuilding the engine?
Do you have the DME?
Thanks!
@JakeH I’ve listed te complete engine rebuilt list. Apart from the list I added the Gt3 3rd radiator with colder thermostat, header ,exhaust, x pipe, 200 cell cats, Gt3 throttle body, ipd plenum, Fabspeed Carbon fiber intake, numeric racing shirt shifter kit, Sachs clutch, lighten flywheel, rss motor mounts, and a few items I may have forgot.
Hello,
Looks like in 2015 you also did the "IMS bearing upgrade" can you tell me a little more about what was done?
@HMOrlando Clutch Has 8,000 miles of usage , brakes and tires 500 miles of usage.
Hello...what’s the condition of the clutch / brakes & tires? Thanks!
Bid in the amount of $26,000
@smrog56 No sorry
Nice car and would love to bid but would have to sell mine first. Interested in a trade for an '87 Guards red Targa?
@Aeast55 I believe your referring to the factory sub woofer. That’s where it’s mounted on the targa and convertibles.
@ruadumbho Front bumper, air intake. Few other misc. parts
Any of the stock parts come along with this auction? Like bumpers and exhaust?
@hcordero Thank you. Another question I have is about the item to the right of the console in the foot well. Hard to tell what it is in the picture. Thanks.
@Aeast55 they were addressed .
New Starter along with a new battery.
New Hood latch.
Hi, interested in the car and nice looking build. On the last page of the engine rebuild receipt there is a list of recommended fixes needed. Are there any that were NOT done on a later service and are still outstanding? Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful.
Bid in the amount of $25,000

What are the tire sizes, hard to see in pics
This is a tastefully modded 997. Well done @hcordero!! Very appealing! GLWTA!!
Bid in the amount of $20,000
@9under63 The fabspeed exhaust the car currently has is the street version not the race. The race version is very loud. The exhaust note on the car is very tolerable and your neighbors will be ok. I do have the DME report to follow on the listing .
Does the sport button alter the exhaust sound? Any chance to post a driving and/ or a startup video? Need to know if my condo neighbors can stand the Fabspeed setup. Also, is a dme over rev report available? Thanks.
Hi all, I’m Sean the owner of this Targa if you have any questions please feel to ask any questions you may have and I will respond back ASAP!!!
