1977 Porsche 911 S Targa 2-Door Description

This 1977 911S Targa is a one family owned car with 91,000 miles. This car was brought to us by a local client that acquired the car from his father several years earlier. The Targa was originally Silver Metallic and painted red bya previousowner. The Targa was not in running condition the first time it entered our service shop so the previous owner had the fuel tank, fuel filter, and fuelinjectors replaced to get the car running.The Targa wasthen purchasedfrom the previous ownerafter decidingthe workrequired to make the 911 roadworthy would require more of an investment.
