Ultimate Targa Thread!

Brian,

You need to post a pic of your Albert blue targa parked next to the Devin!!

[Hi_Fi_Guy]

I don't think I have both cars in one photo... will need to do that Sunday!

[Hi_Fi_Guy]

In the mean time here is a pic of my Targa and my neighbor's Boxster as we were getting ready to leave Scottsdale Cars & Coffee today.

Great looking cars guys and the weather looks good too. Need some advice and maybe a little direction. Purchased a barn find 911 Targa that been swopped to full convertible. It has the flared Turbo body wings and whale tail spoiler. It was an unfinished project, stood for ten years by the previous owner after he realised it had been converted to RHD. Its been professionally done so does not concern me. My initial thinking was to restore it back to original but that may be impossible. The car is identified by the VIN plate as being a 1975 US spec model but it has the hammer head front on it. I'm told this is not correct. Any ideas?

If you like it, keep it as it is!
A 75 US targa isn't a valuable example in stock form, its probably the least valuable air cooled 911 available.

I actually think it is a little sad that every car is being converted back to its origin.

Wise words thanks. Do you have a view on when the hammer head ceased in production? I admit the soft top will be quite cool to have in the two days of summer we have in the UK!!

Haven't had the roof of my Targa a single day this year and the summer was excellent, not a drop of rain from 1st of may to sometime in September... Black leather gets too hot...

Not sure what you mean by "hammer head" .

I love my narrow body midyear Targa !

[Frog76S]

JBQuick,

That is one unique colored middie and nicely optioned with sport seats and the rare Targa rear wiper. Great 70’s interior color and character. much better than basic boring black. Your car passes the parked car test, where I would wonder up to it and check it out and not pay any attention to the myriad black, red, silver and white cars parked around it.

Is your black Targa bar originally black? What size wheels and tires do you have?

[Borsche9112308]

Hi Guys, the hammer head refers to the split battery compartments in the front inner wings. I think I will keep her as she is as I do like its stance. I'll post some pics when I can work out how to get them off my Phone!!

[JBQuick]

@Frog76, Thanks for the kudos ! Targa bar is originally Black & I have seen others with the chrome window trim & Black Targa bar exactly as mine. Wheels are Fuchs 15 x 7". Thanks !
