I practically stopped traffic to get this shot. Gorgeous classic targa. I don't know the exact year - but suffice to say - at least 4 decades separate these two machines ... and yet it's so plain to see - enthusiast or not - they are relatives. Call me a romantic - I love the nostalgia.

Couldn't agree more. Whenever my fascination with SUV's subsides and I get back into cars, there is really only one question left in my mind... PDK or stick for my 911? lol

Many youthful adventures spent in that cousin. A total death trap that I would never let my kids drive but... ohhh the memories :-)

Without that ugly cousin Porsche as we know it may have been very different.
