Alien Targa top sited at Hershey

[Tim Boyer]

Hi,
Not really, but judging from the research I have done so far, I may not be far off. I was able to get to this years swap meet at Hershey today. There was a viper green targa with a smoke glass (or other material) there. I have heard about these tops but have never actually seen one until now. I personally think that they are cool. Now the question is simple! Where would I get one if I wanted one. I do not want to have to sell a family member to buy one, but if someone knows of one for sale or where I might look for one, I would greatly appreciate the information.
Thanks,
tim

Watch EBay and the usual porsche sites, they come up (very) occasionally. As I recall they usually go for around $1500.00 if they are in good condition.

HI,
Thanks, that must be where I have seen one before!! $1500, wow!! You would think that this would be something that was more readily available. Will keep my eyes open.

Tim,

The green targa (long hood) you have seen has the Saratoga hardtop. I was also looking at it and impressed on the quality of the hardtop. They are expensive and hard to find.

They leak like sieves, have wind noise, will bake you in direct sunlight....besides from being expensive, they are fine.....

[Tim Boyer]

I figured that there must be more to them than just their good looks! Too bad as it seems like it would be a good idea. Maybe if some engineered them better, they might have a good product. Would others buy them if they were available at a reasonable price?

No problem, I'll just turn on the imaginary AC.
