Here is the second of the 911SCs I wanted to look at, also from 1982 though this time a Targa. Frequent readers will know that I love the Targa, but I will admit this one doesn’t grab me quite the way yesterday’s Coupe did. The colors just aren’t as captivating. Still, it’s a very pretty car, even if in a more subdued palette. I think outside of my lower regard for the color combination the rest of this SC presents as all together a better package than the Coupe. I have less questions about its present state and history, which should alleviate most concerns buyers might have.

Of course, the grand equalizer of these two 911s could be price. I said yesterday that I thought the Coupe was pretty well overpriced at $52K. It likely would be overpriced in pristine condition, let alone with a few flaws and questions about its history and originality. The auction for this Targa appears to bear out that thinking. Bidding currently sits at $37,100. For a 911SC Targa with just about 71K miles that seems pretty reasonable. We should expect a lower value than a similar Coupe and there are more miles on this one, but I think the relative pricing of the two shows this currently to be the better buy by a pretty good margin.
The reserve remains unmet so that price will have to rise and I think given that it’s had a single owner and appears to be well documented we should probably expect it to come up a little bit more. But I don’t think it should rise too much beyond this. Whether the seller see things similarly, we’ll have to wait and see!
