What's so special/different about this 911 RoW? Read some highlights below:
A 1985 Porsche 911 RoW (Rest of World) refers to a European-specification model rather than a US-spec version. The RoW 911 is highly sought after by enthusiasts because it features a more powerful 3.2-liter flat-six engine (rated at 231 hp) and lacks restrictive US emissions equipment.
The RoW specification differs slightly from US-market cars:
*Higher Horsepower: US-market versions made 207 hp, while the RoW variants boasted 231 hp due to higher compression pistons and the omission of catalytic converters (or different exhaust routing).
*Distinct Styling: RoW models are known for sleek, flush European-specification bumpers (without the large, protruding US bumperettes) and specific lighting configurations like wrap-around front corner lights.
*Transmission: These models were paired with the beloved, highly engaging Type 915 5-speed manual transaxle.
*Driving Experience: Because of the lighter weight and increased power, RoW 911s offer a remarkably analog and unfiltered driving experience that is heavily prized in today's classic sports car market.
1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa (project)
This '78 targa is a project car. I stripped the interior carpet, seats, door panels, and rear panels so I can replace them. The targa top needs to be refinished (or you can purchase a fiberglass/cf replacement), has new tires (but older) on oem Fuch wheels. 3.0L engine, 5-sp. manual transmission, power windows. Has a couple of dents/dings but not too bad. I noticed there's some rust around the glass in the front/rear which I did not see before so I've adjusted the price accordingly. The car ran before being parked, but has been sitting for a while now since I could not find the time to work on it. Finish what I couldn't and enjoy this amazing car!
Serious buyers only please. Let's not waste each other's time.
Open to trades or trades+cash of equal value (tacoma, 4runner, etc).
Asking $28,000 for both cars.
If purchased separately:
1985 911 Cabriolet RoW - $28,000
1978 911 Targa - $4000
