The 993 Targa was based on the convertible bodyshell and featured a revised roof with a lifting and sliding glass center section as opposed to the removable top found on earlier 911 Targa models. This example is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic and features a Carrera S-style front bumper as well as headlight washers, fog lights, power-adjustable mirrors, a speed-activated rear spoiler, a rear window wiper, a “basket handle” rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller reports that the front trunk lid was repaired after the car rear-ended another motor vehicle in 2004.
Targa-specific two-piece 17″ Speedline wheels are mounted with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires measuring 225/45 up front and 255/40 out back. The suspension has been lowered, and braking is handled by Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The car was ordered with an Automatic Braking Differential (ABD).
The power-adjustable front seats are upholstered in Cashmere leather and complemented by a black dashboard. Amenities include a Pioneer CD stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning. The seller states that the ceiling curtain bracket requires repairs, and the shifter upholstery is discolored.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 180-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows under 99k miles, approximately 44k of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report has a mileage inconsistency in October 2022, though it is noted as a potential clerical error.
The air-cooled 3.6L M64 flat-six features a VarioRam intake system and was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Various gaskets and seals were reportedly replaced in 2018. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle with an optional limited-slip differential. The seller notes the clutch was replaced in 2018.
