A genuinely appealing air-cooled Porsche has surfaced on eBay, and this time it’s being offered at no reserve, which is something we don’t see often with clean, original 911s. The car is a 1983 Porsche 911 SC Targa, and according to the seller, it has had one owner since new, carries 64,000 original miles, and remains all original, right down to the paint. The only deviation from factory equipment is the radio, which has been replaced at some point.

The seller states that this 911 has all matching numbers, a clean title, and no accidents in its history. It’s also been garage-kept its entire life, which is exactly the kind of detail buyers look for when shopping for an SC—especially one still wearing its original paint. The car is a factory red-on-black Targa equipped with the 3.0-liter flat-six and a five-speed manual transmission, a combination widely regarded as one of Porsche’s most durable and enjoyable drivetrains.

They note that there’s no rust, and a handful of service records are included, with photos available in the listing. The seller describes it as running and driving excellent, and encourages anyone genuinely interested to arrange an in-person viewing. For buyers who have been patiently watching the air-cooled market hoping for a solid, documented example that isn’t wrapped up in dealer markup, a one-owner, low-mileage SC Targa is exactly the sort of car that rarely surfaces—let alone without a reserve.

For many Porsche fans, the SC era represents the sweet spot—reliable, simple enough to maintain, and still carrying the unmistakable driving feel that made the 911 famous. A one-owner example with original paint and documented low mileage doesn’t come up often, and offering it at no reserve will almost certainly generate strong bidding.

Would you take a chance on a no-reserve, one-owner 911 SC Targa, or does the pressure of a fast-moving auction push you toward something more predictable?
