Check it out: removable hard top.
This is news to me! I knew of the DB7 and the 911 cup car but not this one
I wish someone made a removable hardtop for a early 911 
There are a lot of Targas out there with the roll bar cut off ......

The convertible long-hood 911 is a unique look.

I think there was actually a Porsche-approved way of doing that in 1982, right up until they started doing it themselves in in 1983.
Minor confession: Air cooled 911 cabriolets are ugly and stupid. You're missing the point.
Targas are a much, much better choice.

I wish I could have learned to love Targas when I was in a position to buy an air-cooled 911. I had already been priced out of the Coupes. But I just couldn't do it . . .

Several/many years ago, the 911 used in “Friends” (yes, the TV show) turned up for sale. Had all the paperwork, etc. Price was very fair. I want to say about $14k, but don’t quote me.
But it was a Targa.
I have no aversion to Targa's. I once had a Chevy Chase/Christie Brinkley "Vacation" experience with a beautiful woman driving a Targa in Las Vegas. Her hair was flowing in the breeze, she saw me looking at her and the car, gave me a smile and a little wave, downshifted and took off down I-15 with that signature flat-6 wail.
That moment has stayed with me ever since when I think of Targa 911's.
The only problem was that I was a kid riding shotgun in my sister's '72 Super Beetle.
FML.
I have no ill will at all to the Targas and think they can look mean once set up. Somewhere I have a photo of a Turbo-look Targa that just looked cool. All about the stance, right?

I won't cast stones. I once turned down an opportunity to invest in a company that was "trying to figure out how to use your cell phone to access the Internet" (circa 1994 ish). I distinctly remembering "why would ANYONE want to do that . . ."
You can bet that had I had foresight, and the wealth that would have acoompanied it, would result in my owning all the G body coupes I could ever want.

I worked for one of those companies. You probably would have been wiped out in 2000 or 2001 :)

Yeah! I'll go with that. The company founders seemed to weather that storm though . . . but they are clearly smarter than I am in that area.

I didn't even get enough out of my companies to buy a Playmobil 911, never mind a full size one. I've had to resort to working for a living.
There were alot of Pre 1973 Targas that were "updated" to 1980s slant nose cabrios,
Miami Vise was hot and everyone wanted to look cool

In my book any turbo look 911 is cool. I have lusted off a mid/late 80s turbo look 911 for years!!!
My family got me the Playmobil 911 as a gift last Christmas. It is pretty cool.
And for the past 23 years I've owned a 76 911 targa.
