This Porsche 911 1974-1977 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1976 Porsche 911S Targa is finished in Talbot Yellow over Cinnamon and was purchased by the selling dealer in 1988 from the original owner out of California. The car was then moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and approximately 60k miles have since been added to the odometer. Factory options included front fog lights, as well as blacked-out chrome trim on the targa bar and around the side windows. The 2.7-liter flat-six and original 5-speed manual gearbox have been resealed within the last six months, and new rings have also been installed along with new valve guides and seals, a warm up regulator, and axles. This 911S is now being offered with some records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, owner’s manual, toolkit, and a clean Nevada title.

Some chips are present on forward facing surfaces, and blemishes on the front bumper and rocker panel are detailed in photographs below. The lower edge of the rear bumper is missing some paint.
