1986 Porsche Carrera Targa // Bring A Trailer // Video Tour
Owning a 1986 Porsche 911 Targa in the '80s was like carrying around a backstage pass to the cool club—except, instead of just looking effortlessly stylish, you were driving *the* car that made people pause, point, and mutter "that’s the one" as you cruised by. With its targa top, you had the best of both worlds: wind-in-your-hair freedom like a convertible, but with just enough steel overhead to pretend you were a sophisticated professional. And let’s talk about the engine—it roared like it was permanently late for a meeting at a racetrack. You could be rocking a mullet, sporting a leather jacket, and sipping a Diet Coke (because hey, it was the '80s), and the 911 Targa would still be the most glamorous thing in the room. Sure, you might have been worried about parking it in the wrong place because you knew people would *definitely* notice, but what better way to remind the world you had arrived than with the world's finest German engineering?
