Sorry to Hi Jack Helios.

Is this the 3M Paste?

If you want a Targa, you'll need something to silence the squeeks from time to time.

Draco, yep, that's the stuff I use to condition the front and rear seal. A little goes a long way....

Helios, I guess I could answer a few of your questions... My Targa does not leak and if I had to buy again, I would definitely consider a Targa. Well, I'd like to have a Targa and a Coupe! I like the lines on both models! Color combo, PPI, etc. would help me make a decision too! Good luck!

The Florio was a run-out edition using the very last few targa bodies.
I posted more info on the 964 board last week.

I was interested by the number of you who carry it in the back unfolded !
doesnt it scuff the leather ? I am looking for some sort of bag like the 944
sunroof bags.Now i will be looking for an unfolded one as well.

I have a tarten blanket I leave back there to cover the folded down seats in the back. I just drape that over and it protects me genuine imitation leatherette just fine

It seems the consensus is that wind buffeting is less in a Targa than in the Cab. How is buffeting in the rear seats - same, less, or more than in a Cab?

Wow, this is a great thread. I have been looking, as I have posted here, for quite a while for a 3.2 G50 coupe. Much of the advice I received (except from Ed) was to stick to a coupe, and the G50. This thread has me back interested in the Targa's out there. There does seem to more out there, and they are cheaper for some reason - actually that seems odd to me as most times with cars, this type of feature would add value.

Thanks for all the pictures and thoughts, these are all great examples of great cars.
