Hi all, I'm starting to get an itch for a long hood targa (any variation). I'm planning on a full restoration but a good base is extremely important. Prefer running but it's not a must. Please PM if you have any leads.

Thank you!

A nice one just popped up at autokennel, does not need to be restored.

Thanks Phil, it does seem like a nice car. One of the reasons I'm looking to restore is so I can paint it orange and enjoy the process... it may not be cost effective, but it'll be fun!

Longhood Targa???? Imagine that.

How hard are you willing to work for it?

I want one that needs work and I'm in no rush, so technically I can wait a while... My first post over here on the 911 board so excuse me for not totally getting your question. Pretty sure there was some sarcasm there

Ya, I just took possession of an '84 Targa that I want to backdate with long hood and lots of R/RS treatments .....and I love orange. .....and she will eventually be for sale.

Good luck with search- the targa's used to be fairly unloved but that seems to be changing.

Get a 964 and backdate that.

That seems like an option, but with the $ needed to restore correctly, or even backdate correctly, I think an original long hood will be the smarter move. There isn't a shortage out there, just some crazy prices for rollers, rust buckets etc... On another note, performance is secondary to originality. If I want to go fast I'll take the RUF out
