One funny note is the instruction sheet that comes with it has pictures of a woman putting it on a Ferrari and it looks like the picture was taken back in 1988 based on her hairdo! Picture Peg Bundy with a perm!

I have used the carbrella for years on my Targa. Its perfect for keeping dust and leaves from blowing in when you are making a quick stop.

Not sure if everyone knows, but the Targa top will fit nicely into the back seat if you are not super tall. I am 5'-10" and have plenty of room for driving.

I was wondering the other day if you had gotten it yet, and what you thought about it. Glad you like it.

I use mine pretty much every day, my original targa top is in storage! It's added a lot to my use and enjoyment of my Targa.

REALLY nice Targa!

I normally don't care for tinted windows, but looks "right" on yours,

Here's some recent pictures of my 82 SC. Just had a recent glasso paint job!

[diamonddh]

thanks, the tint really helps in so cal and san fernando valley...yes, it's a "valley" Porsche...helps especially for the back glass...even the front glass is slightly tinted for glare...brings up the shine of the glass

this is my pride and joy
1 of only 48 1989 targa turbos built ( k series )
its a 3.3L 440+ HP which sound unbelievable,

I am pretty sure its the only one in Australia

And I am betting it would blow most other cars on the road,

let me know what you think of the looks,

I love the Targa and would not have it any other way,

Very nice
What size are the wheels?

[zippa.sparks]

20 inch motor sport rims running 305 x 25 x 20 yokohama's fill the guards out just nice,

Here is my '85 Targa Turbo. It's not an original turbo, but sports a 3.6 single turbo and G50 5 spd. I still have the Fuchs and I installed the 17" Fikse w/ 245 and 315's. Lots of upgrades, the PO raced it, I am using it for DE now. I also put in new sport seats and a 930 S steering wheel. Looks stock but pushing 450-500 hp!

[Nazgul280]

Do you guys with the Turbo Targas have any extra bracing of the Targa bar? Is it different from an NA Targa or already beefed up from the factory?

I have been here before but now have new paint so wanted to get back in.

[Bob Clucas]

I didn't see any '74 Carrera Targa's in this thread, so here's mine....

[JWLindsey]

I got in before as well, but here she is with new paint getting a sound thrashing on the auto-x course.

I'm lovin those fuchs. nice finish

[Canuck_Targa]

I am surprised that the Targa gets a bad rap from some. I love mine, it's the best of both worlds. Open air motoring and more secure and quieter than a Cabriolet.
As far as styling, they all look gorgeous, top down, top on, sunroof open, closed whatever.

Just Drive Them !!!
