What We Like
Few sports cars are as iconic as an impact-bumper 911 with a Targa top, particularly when finished in quintessential Guards Red. This S model benefits from many upgrades that enhance both appearance and performance. It is powered by a 3.0L flat-six transplanted from a 911SC, which was refurbished in January 2023, less than 1,500 miles ago as part of $19,000+ in recent servicing. Under prior ownership, this Targa received metal rear fender flares that create the signature Coke-bottle appearance we all love. A late-model lower front valance with integrated fog-lights was added to create some additional visual presence. All that’s needed now is a new owner to remove the Targa panel and enjoy this upgraded 911S on a spirited drive.

Vehicle History & Overview
The seller acquired this 911S Targa in March 2023 and has added less than 1,000 of the 107,100 miles shown. A prior owner reportedly added welded-in 911SC rear fender flares, a late-model 911 G-series front lower valance with integrated fog-lights, and a 911SC rear engine lid. Subsequently, the 911 car received a re-spray in Guards Red. Included documentation details the refurbishment process for the 911SC 3.0L flat-six-cylinder engine and other components, such as an upgraded clutch and MSD 6AL ignition system.
Other modifications comprise an upgraded touchscreen stereo with graphic equalizers, upgraded door speakers, a speaker enclosure replacing the rear seats, back-up camera, and more. Lower dash panels and ashtray, factory owner’s manuals, manuals for the stereo, and one key are included.
