The Ultimate "Barn Find" Air-Cooled Discovery

Up for auction is a remarkable survivor: a 1996 Porsche 911 Targa (993). This is a true "barn find" discovery, recently pulled from long-term storage where it sat undisturbed. As the final generation of the air-cooled 911, the 993 is widely considered the pinnacle of Porsche engineering and driver engagement.

Vehicle Highlights:

  • Transmission: Desirable 6-speed manual (G50).
  • Body Style: Targa (Glass roof operates smoothly with low power/ probably needs service

  • Mechanical: The car has been sitting and will require a mechanical recommissioning (fluids, tires, fuel system flush, and battery) before being road-ready. It currently cranks but has not been started for extensive periods to protect the internal components until a full service is performed.
