Manual Porsche 993 Targa - Single Family Ownership
Among Porsche enthusiasts, the 993 occupies a special place as the final evolution of the air-cooled 911. Beautifully engineered, exceptionally well built, and timeless in its styling, the 993 has become one of the most sought-after generations of the marque. The Targa is particularly significant, introducing Porsche's ingenious electrically operated sliding glass roof that provides an open-air driving experience while retaining the refinement, security, and elegant profile of the coupe. Produced for only a short period, the 993 Targa represents the end of an era—the last air-cooled Targa Porsche would ever build.
Offered here is an exceptional 1997 Porsche 911 Targa finished in Stunning Glacier White over a Grey interior. Showing approximately 28,000 original miles, this remarkably preserved example is a true one-family automobile from new. Cars with this level of provenance are increasingly difficult to find, and the care this Porsche has received throughout its life is immediately evident.
Perhaps most impressive is its originality. The car retains what is believed to be its original factory paint, with outstanding panel fit, excellent finish quality, and the crisp appearance expected from a carefully stored, low-mileage 993. The Grey interior is equally impressive, exhibiting minimal wear while preserving the authentic look and feel that collectors prize. Every indication is that this Porsche has lived a pampered life, and it has received new brake pads and rotors all around in preparation for sale.
Factory equipment includes Glacier White paint, power driver's seat (437), cruise control (454), Hi-Fi sound system (490), and desirable supple leather interior appointments (939 and 982). The original option sticker remains in place, documenting the factory configuration along with the original engine and transmission codes.
With one-family ownership and outstanding preservation, this 993 Targa checks nearly every box sought by today's discerning Porsche collector. It is an honest, beautifully preserved example of one of Stuttgart's most beloved air-cooled models—ready to be enjoyed on the road or proudly displayed in a serious collection.
