1 Of 65 US 1985 Porsche 911 Targa M491 Turbo Look

For sale: a rare 1985 Porsche 911 Targa M491 (Turbo Look), one of only 65 examples made for the US market, featuring the original Whale Tail. With approximately 105K original miles, this car has been meticulously restored to a mechanically new condition. Originally from California, the car spent most of its life in Wisconsin.

The full mechanical restoration includes suspension, motor, and transmission, making this car drive like a brand-new 1985 911 Turbo Look. The restoration, carried out by CS Motorsports LLC., includes top and bottom end work, transmission, fuel pump, and A/C service with R134A. Enhancements include a Fabspeed Dual Outlet Maxflow Performance Exhaust system, high flow cat, and DMW Software chip, along with a WEVO 915 Classic Shifter. The car has only a couple hundred miles since restoration, with the break-in oil already changed. It boasts a clean CARFAX with no accidents and service records dating back to 2001, reflecting the significant investment and care taken to ensure its reliability.

The interior has been refreshed with new leather seat covers, dash pad, carpet, Coco Mats, Rennline Pedals, and a Momo Prototipo Steering wheel. A custom stereo installation includes a period-correct McIntosh Head Unit, amplifiers, component 6.5” speakers in the front, 6.5” speakers in the rear deck, and a custom-built sub-woofer under the passenger front seat, delivering an impressive audio experience.

The body features a Stage 4 fully restored Targa Top from Targa Dan, a powder-coated semi-gloss black Targa Bar, new Targa Roof Seal, new rear bumper blocks, a new front windshield, and RENNLINE mechanical front hood and rear deck struts. The car retains its original black paint, which is driver quality with normal paint chips and two small dents around the gas cap.

The suspension has been fully rebuilt with powder-coated steel parts in semi-gloss black. It includes front wheel bearings, turbo tie rods, Bilstein shocks, rear torsion bars cover plates, ball joints, camber plate bushings, control arm bushings, front sway bar bushings, spring plate rubber bushings, trailing arm bushings, rear sway bar bushings, motor and transaxle mounts, and oil return tubes, primarily sourced from Elephant Racing.
