Earth Motorcars is excited to offer This beautifully maintained 1976 Porsche 911S Targa is a true classic, showing just 77,000 original miles and believed to be a matching numbers car. Owned by the current caretaker since 2010, this California-born 911 has also spent time in Arizona and Texas, benefitting from dry climates. Refinished in its iconic Guards Red under previous ownership, the car has been carefully preserved, with only 3,000 miles driven since 2011. Powered by a lively 2.7-liter flat-six engine (could benifit from an engine reseal as it does have some leaks) paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this Targa delivers the Porsche driving experience enthusiasts cherish.
The exterior features the iconic Targa roof design, characterized by its removable roof panel and signature stainless steel roll bar. While the car has been beautifully repainted in Guards Red, a few small paint imperfections are present. The factory data plate was replaced with a metal VIN plate from the California DMV during the repaint. The body design includes impact bumpers giving it a distinctive and classic appearance. It features chrome-plated window surrounds, door handles, and headlight rings, along with color-matched exterior mirrors.

- Guards Red repaint
- Classic Targa roof with removable canvas panel

- Impact bumpers with signature black bellows
