Summary

This 1976 Porsche 911 Targa G-model comes from California and was verifiably registered to a female owner in Palo Alto from 1986 to 2015—a history that is unusually well-documented by European standards. The exceptional Silver Green Diamond Metallic paint in combination with the dark green full leather interior makes the vehicle visually distinctive and is unlikely to be found on the market in this configuration. According to the seller, the 3.0-liter SC replacement engine runs flawlessly and was regularly serviced at the Porsche Classic Center; all invoices since 2015 are available in full. The factors that reduce its value should be clearly noted: The engine is not a matching-numbers unit, the mileage of 167,000 km cannot be reliably verified due to the odometer conversion from miles to kilometers, and the paintwork is not at concours level. Anyone looking for a well-maintained, roadworthy, and H-registered 911 Targa with a rare color combination and a verifiable investment history of around €30,000 will find here an honest vehicle with genuine character.
