1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa
Here’s a 911 Targa that’s just a little different than the typical Targa. This Porsche is a nice mix of a number of different 911 generation parts that range across a number of high performance models. A 911 that is a mix of a bunch of other Carrera components isn’t the kind of thing that we would find appealing, but the way that this car has been put together puts it in another league. Eagle-eyed Porsche fans will surely notice a number of things that are not normal for a ’78 911SC Targa at first glance. The first thing that is easily noticeable is the fact that the car is a widebody. No this isn’t a fiberglass widebody that has been bonded – or “Bondo-ed” to the car, it is a full steel widebody using factory 930 Turbo components. Before we go too far into what the car is now, how about a little history. This ’78 Targa left the factory finished in Brown, if you want to be technical, the actual color name is “Bitter Chocolate”, code 408. This car also left the factory with a 3.0 Liter flat six rather than the 3.6 Liter flat six that currently takes up space in the boot of this bright 911. At the front of the car a lower spoiler, updated headlights, and a later model lower front valance including fog lights, were added.
