The right colors and condition can make all the difference in practically any vintage car or truck, but it has a particular impact on immensely collectible models like the Porsche 911. This 1975 911 S Targa was supposedly owned by the same owner since 1975 and wears the rare and sought-after paint color of Lime Green paired with factory sport seats and Fuchs wheels. You couldn’t possibly spec a long-hood 911 better than this outside of being a hard top or a turbocharged 930. Find it here on eBay with bids to $35,100 and the reserve unmet.

I remain amazed that cars like this can still come out of the woodwork, especially as it seems the best cars are paraded around each month at major auction events all over the world. But here we are, with yet another car that apparently resided in the care of the same owner up until just recently. Not only that, it was kept in exceedingly nice condition with very little evidence of any significant flaws. When you break this down into a mathematical equation, it has to be darn near impossible for this situation to repeat itself anytime soon.

And when you consider that this car is a spectacular find simply because it’s a survivor – and then add in the desirability of options like factory sport seats – well, it just blows the proverbial roof off (pun intended, this being a targa). It takes you all the way back to the day the owner purchased this car new and asked the local dealer to effectively create a configuration that would become desirable from the moment of its conception to seeing it on these very pages, right now. As with the rest of the car, the interior is in impeccable condition.

The seller asks bidders to “…study the pictures carefully rather than requesting descriptions.” This is a little tricky when it comes to confirming whether the engine remains numbers matching or the paint is original, but the seller’s reputation seems to speak for itself. Regardless, I’d want to verify those details at a minimum, as they seem like obvious factors to include in an online description, especially if both aspects of the car are unaltered from the factory. Regardless, this is a special 911, and certainly one worth bidding on if you place an emphasis on desirable factory options.
