Let’s visit one of the unloved: a 1977 Porsche 911S Targa, located in Nevada, with an interesting Tan interior with tartan inserts and 96,000 miles on it. The mid-year 911 showed some gains in appreciation over the past year, but still tends to lag behind most other models. The drop-off in values from the long-hood 911s that preceded them is significant, but they even tend to lag behind their successor, the 911SC, for all but the best examples. A combination of reliability issues, lower performance, and the design aesthetic of the impact-bumper cars all have contributed to those lower values. Yet, there is still appeal to these 911s and like anything else when the value is right, the appeal increases as well. This one is up for a no reserve auction and barring something unexpected I suspect this Targa should represent one of those nice values.

This strikes me as just the sort of car that we should see on auction with no reserve. It’s in good condition, but not pristine and the interior certainly shows some needed work. Add to that the general lack of popularity of these models and you have the recipe for an auction where removing the potential of an overly ambitious seller setting a very high reserve makes a lot of sense. I do think there is a lot to like here too. It’s very much a period correct look with its metallic brown paint offset with a Cork (?) interior and tartan seat inserts. The combination is probably pretty rare and most definitely from the ’70s. Fans of such a 911 should find a good deal of appeal here. Bidding currently sits at $20,100 with a couple days left. That’s a very reasonable price and I expect it to rise some, but we’ll have to see just where it ends.
