This isn’t the worst Porsche project we’ve seen, but it’s far from the easiest. The seller still says “it’s all there” as it relates to completeness, despite not having an engine, transmission, or interior. There is rust to contend with, and in the back of your mind, you have to be telling yourself Targas were once undesirable. Pay those voices no mind, as early 911s don’t play by those rules. This 1968 911 is listed here on eBay with a $10,995 Buy-It-Now and the option to submit a best offer.

Truth be told, that’s a fair price to ask for a 911 in this sort of condition. I know, I know – it’s rusty! It’s a Targa! But compared to some of the asks we’ve seen with cars that have basically collapsed in on themselves, this is a project worthy of rejuvenation. The seller says its primary areas of concern regarding rust are in the rockers and floorpans, of which replacement sheet metal is readily available.

The interior likely looks far worst than it actually is, due I’m guessing to the seats and carpeting having been ripped out. The upper back seat portion may confirm this was originally a sharp combination of red over black, but a COA would be needed to put any doubts to rest. Speaking of doubt, I’m certain paying for a COA is not on the seller’s list of things to do given the missing drivetrain, interior, and well-weathered body.

The soft window Targas are the ones that tend to command the most respect among 911s with removable roofs. My brother owned a 1986 Targa for a little while and never warmed up to it like his hardtop coupe of the same year. He concluded the shakiness of the structure and additional body reinforcements combined to create a heavier car that didn’t feel particularly tight. Like any convertible, the open air sensation is more important to some than the purity of the driving experience. Would it make you want to take this project on?
