The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 1997, marked a pivotal moment in the model's storied history, ushering in water-cooling and a dramatically modernized design. Amidst the Carrera and Turbo variants, the Targa, reintroduced in 2002, offered a unique open-air experience without the full convertible compromise. Eschewing the traditional removable panel, the 996 Targa featured an innovative, large glass roof that slid rearward under the back window, creating an expansive opening. This sophisticated design, combined with a glass rear hatch that provided excellent access to the cargo area, made the 996 Targa a practical and stylish choice for enthusiasts seeking a blend of coupé rigidity and convertible freedom. This particular 2004 Porsche 911 Targa, with 80,220 miles on its 3.6-liter flat-six engine, exemplifies the enduring appeal of the 996 generation. Paired with an automatic transmission, this example is reported to run, drive, and shift exceptionally well, with no unwelcome engine sounds. The signature Targa roof mechanism operates flawlessly, retracting and closing as designed, ready to deliver that distinctive open-air motoring experience. While showing minor, expected wear commensurate with its age and mileage, this 996 Targa presents very nicely overall, a testament to its care over the years. This is an opportunity to acquire a distinctive and well-maintained example of Porsche's innovative Targa lineage.
