1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

The next couple of days I have two 911s that we might best classify as potentially market setting. While the market for non-turbocharged air-cooled 911s has gradually been increasing over the past year or so, some of the asking prices I am seeing recently signal a precipitous rise. Yet, I cannot recall actually seeing any recent huge sales to suggest that these prices are in line with the market. Perhaps these cars are well ahead of the market, or perhaps they are a harbinger of things to come, but I hope to keep my eye on them and get a sense of where we are. The first of the two is this very low mileage Platinum Metallic 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa with Light Tan interior located in New York. As this is a reserve auction it should at least give us a shot to see where bidding will take this price and at its current bid of $56,999 (though this is a single bid) it is already commanding pretty strong value for an ’84 Carrera Targa. How much higher might it go?

If you are looking for a reference quality Carrera Targa, your search is over. The color combination is stunning. As expected, the car drives as well as it looks.

It is realistically priced. All serious offers will be considered and should be directed to Mark Starr @ 914 217-4817.

I always enjoy these light metallic shades on a Targa. These kind of colors complement the increased airyness of the open cockpit and I find that it enhances my perception of the car in total. I’m also a big fan of the Targa in general on the classic 911 design so the combination of color and design, for me, is a winner. With a car of this mileage and with this sort of asking price – it is listed at $80K on Hunting Ridge’s website – we expect it to be flawless and from what we can see here this 911 shows good promise in that regard. Naturally, a more thorough inspection is necessary and we need to see all of the supporting documentation, but overall this Targa presents as it should. As stated above, my interest here is where the bidding goes. If we see prices continue to increase, then I imagine those who have been holding their 911s for a while may soon be quite happy.
