1984 Porsche 911 Targa

Description

There are cars that are at the right time to collect; there are ones you'll love to drive; and this 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is both. After all, 1984 is the first year that the now-legendary 3.2 Carrera replaced the SC. Add to that milestone the exceptionally original condition of this numbers-matching open roof example, and you've got the perfect recipe for a classic that others will desire, too.

This highly original example has its correct Guards Red bodywork (a legendary Porsche color.) It looks fantastic today, especially with the correct items in place, like the factory chin spoiler, the Carrera 3.2's better integrated fog lights, and body-colored bumpers. The Fuchs wheels are a true hallmark of the air-cooled era, and when painted black, they do a great job of coordinating with the trim to give this coupe a truly red and black uniform appearance.

No other door opens with the same mechanical and deliberate sound like a classic 911 does. Enthusiasts turn around when they hear that iconic 'pop' (yes it sounds crazy, but true.) And when people look, they will see an original black leather interior that coordinates nicely with the rest of the car. You hop in and sit behind the classic three-spoke sports steering wheel. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view of what's going on with the engine. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it doesn't skip on comfortable features. This includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input. But the feature you love the most inside is how this car connects you with the outside. Complete with both the collapsing portable soft top and a removable hard top, the targa roof in this 911 is legendary for offering a great open air experience where you get to enjoy the distinctive engine note to its fullest.

Lift the rear hatch, and see the best part of any 911. This original flat-six motor, and most experts agree that you won't find a more reliable high-performance powerplant than the fuel-injected 3.2-liter Carrera. In 1984, Porsche introduced a self-tensioning timing chain that eliminated many of the issues that had plagued the 911 almost since birth, and it has raised the collectability factor on these cars. More importantly, as long as you continue this car's tradition of regular maintenance, it has a history of durability to remain a fun sports car well into its cherished classic years. A large reason for the fun on the road is the five-speed manual transmission. It allows you to get the most out of the motor as you pilot this lightweight, open top Porsche, on your favorite backroad. This one has been enhanced further with a short shift linkage kit. Combine this with a sport tuned fully independent suspension, Porsche's legendary steering feedback, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Michelin Pilot sports tires, and this classic 911 will teach you why it's an icon with every mile.

Complete with owner's manuals and maintenance records, this is the classic that proves you'll love driving your collectables. And at this attractive price, why wouldn't you??? Call today!!!
