and as for inflation adjustment, unless I'm using the wrong calculator, I think 911s are more expensive than in the mid-80s, when they were hand built.

Targa in 1984 money adjusted to 2013 is $76k. It's unlikely that one can get a new 911 Targa for anything less than 85k.

I just used an inflation calculator.
Weird. Just found window stickers for an 87 carrera and targa. The targa was only $75 more! Base to base it looks like the 87 coupe was about 83k compared to 84k for the 991. The metallic paint was listed for $715 in 87 dollars - and it's pretty much the same today at 710! (So they've essentially cut the price in half for that option). By 1988, the price for a base 911 climbed to 86k in 2013 dollars. And in 89 it climbed to 96k!! They did add 4 more speakers, a sunroof and an alarm to the std equipment list though. Lol
