Actually, it is fairly common to see people from Europe refer to the removeable top as a Targa. This guy didn't just make it up.

IIRC, Porsche called the sunroof a "Targa" at the time.

the term targa top came from the notion of a removable roof. Seeing as it does not slide open. cant be called a sun roof. as it really only lets in air when it's open. you have to fully remove it for it to be truly open..

$hit!
That's a copy of my car!
Mine = '84 silver/tan, cookie cutters, etc.
although my speedo works and shows 44,000 I would not try to sell it representing 44K miles.
Generaly better condition too.

Hmmm... maybe I could get $2500 for her after all!
Or maybe I will go back to asking $3000.

Yeah, sure, Tabor. Next you'll be telling us that Europeans don't all speak English. What are you going to cook up next? Honestly.

That car is a Porsche 944 targa.

Actually, all 944:s with a sunroof are named targa.

At least they are named that in Germany.
