The Porsche 911 Targa has always occupied a unique space within the revered 911 lineage, offering the open-air exhilaration of a convertible without sacrificing the structural rigidity and classic lines of the coupe. Introduced in 1966 as a "safety cabriolet" due to emerging concerns about rollover accidents, the Targa quickly became an icon, distinguished by its removable roof panel and distinctive stainless steel roll hoop. The 964 generation, launched in 1989, represented a monumental leap forward for the 911, retaining its iconic silhouette while incorporating 85% new parts. It introduced modern features like coil-spring suspension, ABS, power steering, and the potent 3.6-liter M64 engine, solidifying its place as a more refined, yet still visceral, driving machine. This particular 1991 911 Carrera 2 Targa embodies the best of the 964 era, pairing the robust 3.6-liter flat-six engine with the highly desirable G50 manual transmission. Showing 124,846 miles, this example has clearly been enjoyed as intended, a testament to the enduring build quality of these Stuttgart machines. As a Carrera 2, it benefits from the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, offering a pure, unadulterated Porsche driving experience that enthusiasts crave. This 964 Targa offers a compelling opportunity to own a significant piece of Porsche history, ready for its next chapter on the open road.
