Turbo Targa VIN 9118211992 57,622 ORIGINAL BOX A MILES. The history
on this car is that it began life as a 911 SC Targa. In 1978, a
customer of Holbert\'s Porsche outside of Philadelphia wanted a 930
Turbo Targa. Porsche did not build this car at the time not until
1987 would Porsche build this car so Holbert\'s Porsche ordered in
a 1978 Talbot yellow 911 SC Targa and Al Holbert\'s race shop built
this car to factory 930 specs for their customer. It has big
brakes, coil over suspension, 915 LSD 5 speed transmission, B&B
Headers, Bilstein Coilover Suspension and much more. Since Al
Holbert was a Porsche factory racecar driver, he worked very
closely with the race dept. Porsche was aware of this car being
built and in 1978 Porsche also built two \'78 930 Turbo Targas to
test the concept of a turbo cars ability to handle the power
without roof frame support. \r\n\r\nYou can read about these two
cars in Excellence magazine, issue 50 December 1994. This is an
