1976 911S Targa

The 1974 Porsche 911S marked the beginning of what enthusiasts often call the “G-body” era, though technically only the 1974 cars were true G-series before Porsche moved on to H, J, K, and so forth. The model introduced the federally mandated impact bumpers that would define the look of the 911 from 1974 through 1989, making this year a pivotal point in 911 history.

This 1976 911S Targa has been in the same family since 1990, with the seller’s father adding just 15k of the 67k miles shown. It retains its 2.7-liter flat-six, which was rebuilt in 1992 and later received an overhauled fuel-injection system in 2021. Upgrades include power windows, Koni dampers, pressure-fed tensioners, PerTronix ignition, an 11-blade fan, and a high-capacity fuel pump and alternator, a custom front spoiler, and Kenwood headunit. Originally finished in Black, the car was repainted in 2010 and now features sport seats reupholstered in Dark Red with Black cloth inserts, along with those “interesting” headrests I mentioned last week.

Over the past twelve months, 911S Targas have averaged $56,600, with sales ranging from $28,250 to $89,930. Comps for this example, given its mileage, modifications, and condition, sit in the $30,000 to $60,000 range. It ultimately sold for $46,000, a result that fits neatly in the middle of comps and looks like a fair deal for both buyer and seller.
