1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

Published July 18, 2014 by Rob

We’ve had a brief reprieve from the hot and humid days of summer here in the Mid-Atlantic and what better way to enjoy the sun and wind than with some open-top motoring. A Targa provides an interesting alternative for drivers who don’t care for the full convertible experience and while I’ve always been a little ambivalent towards them in general this all-black example strikes the perfect look and nearly changes my whole perspective. Here we have a Black on Black 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa, located in Alabama, with 139,500 miles on it. The ’86 model year was the last year the 911 made use of the 915 transmission before Porsche switched to the G50 so these tend to command slightly lower values than the cars produced from ’87-’89.

1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

Published July 8, 2014 by Rob

This is a car I may have never seen on the road. At least in recent years since it’s entirely possible I saw one while they were in production. Here we have a Grand Prix White 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa located in Pennsylvania. The Targa in general is a less common sight these days, a point we may see change with Porsche reintroducing the proper Targa design for the 991, but the 964 Targa seems even less common than the rest. Part of that is simple numbers. The 964 was only around for 5 years and there were much fewer Targas produced than their Coupe and Cabriolet counterparts. Anyway, these are the sorts of things that tend to draw my attention with any auction as I’ve always had a fascination with the Targa even if I’m not sure whether I’d want to own one. This particular car is very low mileage, though please check the ad for details as it is somewhat unconfirmed.

1979 Porsche 911SC Targa

Published July 2, 2014 by Rob

Let’s continue with a little bit of a summer theme and look at another option in the world of open-air 911s. Here we have a Silver 1979 Porsche 911SC Targa, located in Conway, South Carolina (near Myrtle Beach), with just 41,504 miles on it. For a beach car (at least in an area that can get quite hot during the summer) a Targa seems like a pretty worthwhile choice as it provides the option of open-air cruising year round, but with the ability to have a semi-hardtop during the hottest months. Granted, you’d want a well working A/C in such a car, which is an area where many of these cars struggle, but it’s still another option for someone who is less interested in the full convertible experience. This particular 911 has seen only a few thousand miles over the past two decades so it’d be good to give it a thorough inspection, but there is sure to be quite a lot of life left in it.

1967 Porsche 911 Soft-Window Targa

Published June 27, 2014 by Rob

The soft-window Targa is one of those cars that we rarely come across, but when we do they are always something to marvel at. Introduced in 1967, the soft-window Targa is basically a convertible with a fixed roll hoop, built primarily because Porsche felt uncertain about the sustained viability of convertibles on the market due to increasingly stringent crash regulations. The Targa we are all most familiar with, featuring a standard rear glass window was also made available beginning in 1968, leaving the soft-window targas as a bit of a short-lived anomaly. The example featured here is a great looking Irish Green 1967 Porsche 911 Soft-Window Targa, located in North Carolina. It was restored more than two decades ago and recently has received a full refresh to bring back its beauty.

1982 Porsche 911SC Targa

Published June 15, 2014 by Paul

Walking around the neighborhood today, I spotted a Porsche 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet. White with white Fuchs wheels, parked with its top down, it just reminded me of how great the eighties were. This was the decade of my childhood, so maybe it’s a bit extra special to me, but the 911 was a car I aspired to own. Hopefully one day I can fulfill that dream, but as air cooled 911s increase in value, I feel like I’m running after the last train leaving the station. It’s been noted that one of the best air cooled 911s for newbies to the Porsche brand is the 911SC.

The 911SC represented a leap in terms of reliability, with the improved 3.0 liter engine and improved rust proofing over the preceding 2.7 model. The SCs used to be rather affordable, but like the rest of the air-cooled 911 lot, they are climbing in value. This low mileage 911SC Targa with only 55k miles on it is no exception.
