The vehicle in detail

A 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa, reborn as a rolling sculpture that transcends eras, blending the soul of analog motoring with the precision of contemporary craftsmanship. Cloaked in its factory-rare Oak Green, a color so evocative it whispers of 1970s sophistication, this Targa has been meticulously reimagined while being loyal to its originality to captivate purists and futurists alike. Every curve, every detail, is a dialogue between past and present.

This isn’t just a fix-up—it’s like bringing a classic back to life. It’s a 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa, turned into a beautiful driving machine that mixes old-school charm with modern quality. It’s painted in its original rare Oak Green color, which gives off a cool 1970s vibe. The car has been carefully updated to appeal to fans of classics and new tech alike. Every part shows a mix of old and new.

Exterior: Classic Shape, Improved The famous Targa look—with its curved roof, stainless steel bar, and glass top—has some smart updates.

The Oak Green paint has been redone to look brand new, with a metallic shine that catches the light like wet leaves. The Fuchs-style wheels are polished like mirrors and hide modern Brembo brakes for better stopping power.

Interior: Old Style, Updated Comfort Step inside, and it feels like the 1970s—but refreshed. The seats, dashboard, and doors are covered in soft leather that matches the rare Oak Green outside. The highlight is a Nardi Classic wood steering wheel, with thin spokes and warm walnut wood that adds Italian style to the German design. The original VDO gauges are cleaned up and clear, plus there are small modern additions. Even the Targa’s open-top feel is better with a quieter roof panel, so you enjoy the wind and engine sound without too much noise.

Performance: Old Spirit, Modern Reliability Under the rear lid is a rebuilt 3.0L flat-six engine, made to today’s standards—with quick response, better fuel system, and a refined engine roar. It pairs with a fixed-up 5-speed manual transmission and suspension tuned for modern roads (with adjustable shocks and stronger bushings). This 911 connects old and new: exciting on twisty roads, but smooth for long trips. It’s not just for show—it’s ready to drive anywhere.

The Big Idea This car asks: What if a 1970s icon was built today? The details show it—with original tags kept, exact stitching, and that rare color. But it’s made reliable for now: better safety, fixes for dependability, and hidden tech that fits the classic style.

For collectors who see cars as moving art.

For drivers who want classic fun without the hassles.

For people who know real beauty comes from blending old and new.

This 911 isn’t just fixed—it’s made fresh and relevant again.
