You can't go wrong with any of them as far as fun is concerned. The 911SC and 911S from about 72-77 are alot of fun to drive, just get a good look at the floors. Not only do they tend to rust, but the pedal configuration is similar to a VW Beetle; ie, floor-hinged pedals sharing a common pivot shaft.. So when they rust, they all rust together as a unit. Press the clutch and you also apply the brakes. I don't really care for the Targa roof cars, only because the roofline is smoother on the coupes. But they are great driving cars, albeit noisy and hard riding, but who cares. Aftermarket parts availabilty and club support are both teriffic.
