1978 Porsche 911SC Targa 3.8L 6-Speed

In 1978, Porsche rolled out a timeless classic in the form of the 911SC Targa. This distinctive model features an air-cooled, rear-engine layout with a potent 3.0-liter flat-six engine, cranking out around 200 horsepower when new. The 'Targa' name, of course, refers to its unique, targa-top body style - a removable roof section and wraparound rear glass for an unobstructed view under the sun or stars. This particular example, hailing from Roseville, California, boasts a later, 1989 engine swap to a 3.6-liter variant for increased performance, coupled with a rarity in Porsche circles: a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission, added during a professional rebuild documented from 2015 onwards. This ensures spirited drives, maintaining the 911's iconic handling dynamics on twisty roads while providing ample passing power on highways. Finished in classic Grand Prix White with black leatherette interior, this rare find is a true enthusiast's dream, capturing the essence of air-cooled Porsches amidst California's golden hills.
