1978 Porsche 930 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. You can read about these two cars in Excellence magazine, issue #50 December 1994. This is an opportunity to own a car that is both rare, Ahead of it's time and an absolute blast to drive! We have updated the look on this car to a more aggressive set-up with Full Corner Balance, Fifteen 52 Outlaw 001 Wheels made famous by legendary Porsche Collector Magnus Walker, Custom Vinyl Striping for more of a racing look as well as had the car checked out to ensure it is ready for a new home!
