Whats the big deal?
So what that there was only 11 produced..
To me that just means Porsche realized it was a flop and did not produce them.
Porsche probably realized that most people would choose a targa over a non-targa.
It is nothing more than a flared 914-6 without a targa top... to me that is a BIG NEGATIVE.

If i had it i would sell it... buy a REAL 914-6 (cuz it has a targa)... a plymouth prowler... and a ford flex... and multiple other toys.

My opinion.
Your opinion may differ... but that is ok.

I remember a very successful tv program that was based on the same idea of "no point at all". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Seinfeld
