First came the 964 in 1989, which brought numerous performance and drivability updates the car had been lacking. Fast on its heels came the 993 in 1994 – a car that has since become renowned for its status as the final air-cooled 911. With dramatic exterior styling updates and a brand-new multi-link suspension, the 993-generation 911 fully brought the car into the modern era. A roomier interior and, for 1996, the introduction of VarioRam for extra horsepower, ensured the 993 exceeded the expectations of the company’s most dedicated clients.Also for 1996 came the release of the 993 Targa. Unlike previous models which featured a removable roof panel, the company chose a more elegant solution: a power ‘panoramic’ glass sunroof that retracted behind the rear window. Unique rear quarter-window styling, the cabriolet’s ‘handlebar’ CHMSL brake light, and exclusive two-piece wheels are additional tells, making it easy to differentiate a Targa from standard coupes. While some enthusiasts mourned the loss of the fully removable panel and distinctive ‘roll hoop’ styling, this solution is far more convenient in day-to-day use. With only 4,583 reportedly produced worldwide before the release of the 996, 993 Targas are a rare entry into one of Porsche’s most well-regarded vehicles.The investment-grade 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa featured here is finished in stunning Arctic Silver Metallic over an impeccably kept Black supple leather interior. This exquisite example has been meticulously maintained and driven a mere 18,229 miles from new. This represents an incredible opportunity to acquire one of the most limited-production air-cooled Porsches with only 20 built with desirable manual transmission. I personally believe the investment potential of this exquisite 356 will grow beyond your imagination. Offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best an investment price!
