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.

No thanks, not that they don't look like great 914's, but they don't have steel roofs. The first and foremost important part of the 916. Everything else is secondary.
