One of the rarest versions of the final air-cooled Porsche 911, the 993-generation Carrera Targa was the first of its kind to feature a sliding glass roof system. This 1996 example is finished in Black over a matching leather interior and pairs a 6-speed manual transmission with its 3.6-liter flat-six engine. It features 17” Targa-specific wheels, power-adjustable seats, an aluminum-accented Carrera S shift knob and brand handle, automatic climate control, and a Clarion head unit with upgraded speakers and an amplifier. Purchased by the seller, its second owner, in 2004 and recently treated to a 60k-mile service, this 993 Carrera Targa is now being offered for auction out of Texas with approximately 54k miles showing on the odometer.
The 993 Targa model features a unique sliding glass roof system with an electric roller sunshade and a glass wind deflector strip. This example is finished in Black and rides on factory 17” Targa two-piece alloy wheels. Equipment includes headlamp washers, integrated fog lights, power-adjustable mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, a speed-activated rear spoiler, a raised “basket handle” brake light spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, and black Porsche-branded brake calipers. The seller indicates new tires were installed within the last 500 miles and some imperfections can be seen on the wheels and front end. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The black leather interior features power-adjustable front seats, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, a central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an aluminum-trimmed shift knob and parking brake handle sourced from a Carrera S. Rubber floor mats have been added and an aftermarket Clarion head unit has been installed and paired with upgraded speakers and a Lanzar Optidrive amplifier. All gauges and electronics are said to be working properly.
An air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine provides up to 282 HP and 251 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller indicates the clutch has been replaced and a 60k-mile service was completed approximately 500 miles ago.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, service records, two sets of keys, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “If you are successful and know what you’re buying in this auction you will be exceptionally pleased with your new beauty.”

Last hint it’s go to have a one in front!
Thank you for the kind words and back up. You car was beautiful upon purchase and has only gotten better! Thanks for a spectacular ride! Great to hear from you!
This was my car in 2004 and I sold it to the current owner. That was a long time ago, but at that time, the car was as the seller is representing it. I bought it from a private party from Bakersfield, CA. Car needed a clutch, but it looks like that was taken care of. Good luck with the auction

Very nice 993 Targa. Would appreciate seeing a video of the top opening and closing as I know these can be finicky and costly to repair. Any compression test results you can share? Thank you!

Varioram for sure! I am a 40 yr Porsche collector and this is my personal driver. It’s an outstanding car .
Thanks. Can you also confirm whether or not this car has the Varioram System? I did not see it in the description but would assume so since the car is a 96.
@LeCroissant the original owner kept transfering it between family members and then I purchased it. I have had the car for quite some time
@CharliesChopShop no issues with top whatsoever i will try to upload a video later today.No engine leaks whatsoever.rear eck panel is perfect. car is a solid terrific representation of what the car should be.
Hi. Beautiful car. The CARFAX shows 6 previous owners but the description say seller is the 2nd owner. Can you please explain the discrepancy?
Good morning. Any issues with the glass top and Could you show a video of the targa top opening and closing? Any leaks from the engine? I see the rear deck panel is lifted in the center is it warped?
