1998 Porsche 911 Targa
This 1998 Porsche 911 Targa was first registered in Texas and has
remained with the original owner until February 2021. The car is
finished in black over red full leather and is powered by a
numbers-matching 3.6L flat-six paired with a four-speed Tiptronic
automatic transaxle. Additional equipment includes a power-operated
glass roof panel, 17? wheels, xenon headlights, heated and
power-adjustable front seats, and a Porsche CR-210 AM/FM cassette
stereo. Work in August 2021 included refurbishing the steering rack
and speedometer, repairing the sliding top mechanism, and replacing
the tires, valve covers, alternator, tie rod ends, battery, seat
cables, and speakers. This final-year 993 Targa shows 9k miles and
is offered as part of DriverSource's Oktmotorfest Collection with a
jack and tool kit, a tire inflator, two keys and four remotes, a
Porsche Classic Technical Certificate, manufacturer's literature,
service records since 2000, a clean Carfax report, and a clean
Texas title.
The 993 Targa featured a power-operated sliding glass roof that
substituted the removable panel found on the earlier models. This
example was ordered in Black Metallic (Z8) and is equipped with
xenon headlights, a rear wiper, and a basket-handle rear spoiler
with an integrated third brake light. Work under current ownership
included repairing the sliding top mechanism and replacing exterior
seals and trim as well as the front indicator lenses, headlight
drain tubes, door lock plugs, front and rear lid struts, and the
quarter panel stone guards.
Modular 17? wheels wear staggered-width Michelin Pilot Sport 2
tires that were mounted in August 2021. Braking is handled by
Porsche-script four-piston calipers fitted over cross-drilled and
vented rotors at all four corners. The brake and power steering
fluids were flushed in August 2021, and the steering rack was
rebuilt and the outer tie rod ends were replaced at this time.
The cabin is trimmed in Boxster Red (MB) full leather and features
heated and power-adjustable front seats with driver-side lumbar
adjustment and supple leather upholstery. Additional amenities
include air conditioning, an aluminum-trimmed parking brake handle,
and the Digital Sound package. The speakers and grilles have been
replaced under current ownership along with the glove compartment
knob, the dome light, and the front seat cables.
The four-spoke steering wheel features Tiptronic shift buttons and
frames VDO instrumentation that includes a central tachometer and a
180-mph speedometer. The six-digit odometer shows 9k miles. The
speedometer gauge face and silver trim ring were refreshed and the
odometer gears were replaced in August 2021.
The air-cooled 3.6L flat-six features a VarioRam induction system
and was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque.
Work by the selling dealer has included replacing the valve covers
with aftermarket billet aluminum components, changing the oil, and
replacing the battery as well as the alternator and shroud.
Receipts for additional work performed under previous and current
ownership are viewable in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed Tiptronic
automatic transaxle. Additional images showing the condition of the
underside are included in the gallery.

literature and service records dating back to 2000.

of Houston, Texas, also accompanies the car. The document describes
the engine and transaxle as numbers matching.

history in Texas with a single owner from the earliest entry in
January 1998.
