If you always admire kind people in The world’s largest single car owners club, Porsche Club of Americaand looking forward to rubbing elbows with those rich elites of the automotive world, but never could afford a Porsche, here’s your chance. To become a member of the PCA, you must own a Porsche and to prove your membership, you must enter your VIN on the application. Most of the time, a Porsche VIN is quite expensive.and while there are some exceptions, you’ll probably pay at least ten thousand dollars for a good running car. The good thing about PCA membership is that you don’t have to prove that your Porsche runs. Or has an engine. Or is a complete car.
This car (?) is currently up for auction on Bring A Trailer and as of this writing it has gone for $1,250. There is no reserve price, so it’s definitely going home to someone.
You Could Buy This 1977 Porsche 911 S Targa and Leave It in Your Backyard (as long as you don’t live in Gilbert, Arizona) for the rest of its life, and earn yourself a coveted PCA membership. It’s probably best that this car never runs again, as a mid-year 911 is probably the worst example of a 911 ever built. These have all the weight and slowness of a post-80s 911, but none of the power, plus all the complex engine management of a Bosch CIS fuel-injected car without the agility and fun of a pre-1973 car. And this one is nothing more than a rusted chassis and a glass rear window. Put a seat in it and make vroom vroom noises, or turn it into a mock racing chassis.
Or, is this car your ticket to PCA? follow up date and wine tastings? You can show up to these events in a Miata and just tell people you’re in the middle of an extended restoration. No one will check, I promise.
