1977 Porsche 911S Targa

Here is an exquisite air-cooled icon that blends timeless Targa style with genuine, sorted performance — a 1977 Porsche 911S finished from the factory in rich Sienna Metallic over tan and black leather. Thoughtfully upgraded with a stout 3.2-liter flat-six and backed by a documented 2025 pre-purchase inspection, this is a 911 that rewards both the discerning collector and the driver who craves the open-air rush of a removable roof panel. For the enthusiast who values heritage, honest documentation, and the pure joy of a five-speed air-cooled Porsche, this Targa invites you to imagine it in your own collection.
