It has also changed dramatically--I've added the pasha interior and sports seats as well as removed the tea tray spoiler, upgraded the Fuchs, installed H4s and a 930s steering wheel. It has been very rewarding to make it my own--how I envision a 911sc to look and feel.

Driving a Targa sans top in sunny, 70 degree weather is an experience like no other--the sights, the sounds, the smells. It is enveloping and wonderful.



I love Pasha, haha,

Damn is that pretty. I need to get my hands on a ducktail rear deck.

Here's my ongoing project. She's may not be the prettiest, but she puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. Really need to address the ride height.

Thanks Bill, the interior trim is called Trim 23 kunstleder hummer.
I have only seen this combination in the 1977 Porsche brochure and nowhere else yet.

1973 Leaf Green



I had to order a special seal for my 1973 Targa because the only one available from Porsche is made to fit 1974 and newer Targas and Cabriolets.

Finally got the car I have dreamed of since high school / college years. Only three weeks in but had the good fortune to bring it to CheckedItOutChicago a week ago. Amazing to see almost 400 cars together. Was proud to be an owner versus a spectator!
