This Porsche 911 Targa is listed for sale with an asking price of nearly $50,000, a number that a few years ago would have seemed out of line for an older Targa. However, the Targa in particular seems to be enjoying a resurgence in popularity, likely owing to the fact that it has become increasingly hard to find one in any model generation. The car shown here is also a stand out for sporting a color you don’t see every day and for having a two-tone interior, which likely was a special order and hard to repeat. Find the 911 here on eBay with a Buy-It-Now of $49,500.

The color Ruby Red Metallic and the seller notes it was repainted by a previous owner. He discloses that the paint job quality is on the driver side, but it still presents well in photos. I’m sure up close there’s some over spray and masking faults, but those just make it easier to be less paranoid about driving it. I’m glad to see this Targa doesn’t have a tacky whale tail on it like some many other 911s of this vintage tend to end up with. The black Fuchs wheels work well with this paint code, and coordinate nicely with the black bumperettes.

The interior is really where this 911 shines, as this two-tone job is either a custom order from the factory or a very well done aftermarket creation. I suspect this is factory, as the carpets certainly appear to be original. The white upholstery has creases and wear, which also indicates it has been in the car for a while and wasn’t recently swapped in. I can’t recall seeing two-tone door panels in an older air-cooled 911, but it looks fantastic. The maroon floor mats have to be a rare find given how few of these cars came with this color interior, and those are also in near-mint shape. There are no cracks in the color-coordinated dash panel.

The seller notes that this 911 lay dormant in the previous owner’s barn for almost 20 years, and that it was subject to a refresh when it was brought back to road-going use. Some oil leaks were sealed up but otherwise, the 3.2L flat-six and 915 manual gearbox came back to life with ease and made a recent 100-mile cruise without issue. The asking price is high, and that’s the case with the Targa models across the 911 range; however, the rare color scheme and clean condition makes it worth taking a closer look at, and you may even find the seller’s list price is right on the money.
