Targa (1974 to 1977)

The base model Porsche 911 Targa was offered during the early G-body years from 1974 to 1977 as part of Porsche’s response to new global impact and emissions regulations, combining the open-roof Targa body style with the most straightforward specification in the 911 range. Badged simply as “911,” these cars were powered by the 2.7-litre air-cooled flat-six with CIS (K-Jetronic) fuel injection, producing 150 hp initially and later up to 165 hp in Rest of World (ROW) markets for the 1976–1977 model years. Positioned below the 911S and Carrera 2.7, the base model Targa prioritised drivability and mechanical simplicity rather than outright performance. In the Australian market, base model G-body Targas are relatively uncommon and are typically ROW-spec cars, valued for their lighter specification, classic open-air 911 experience, and early impact-bumper character. Values are driven by year, engine type, originality, condition, and documentation, with well-preserved or correctly restored examples attracting growing interest as collectors focus on the most authentic entry points into early G-body 911 ownership.
