Some cars are iconic, and others become legends. The 1978 Porsche 911 SC Targa is firmly in the latter category—an air-cooled icon that has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into one of the finest RWB 930 Kit builds ever crafted. On March 15, 2025, this masterpiece will proudly take centre stage at Automotive Wonderland – Curated by ArtNeun, at Wristwatch Check 2025 where luxury is celebrated and enthusiasts’ stories come to life.
NO ORDINARY PORSCHE
This is no ordinary Porsche 911. In October 2024, the car underwent a meticulous transformation under the skilled hands of Nakai-San, the genius behind the RWB (Rauh Welt Begriff) builds. The car received every optional extra available, resulting in a fully loaded, wide-bodied beauty that is as raw as it is refined. The RWB 930 Kit isn’t just a modification; it’s a complete reinvention. With its set back stance, widened arches, and unmistakable body lines, the 911 SC Targa is a force to be reckoned with. It’s a rare gem, not only in Australia but globally, and a testament to the art of car building.
A JOURNEY ACROSS THE GLOBE
This 911 has a history as unique as its transformation. Originally delivered in Germany, it first made its way to South Carolina before embarking on a globetrotting adventure that took it to Dubai, then Perth, Western Australia, and finally settling in Melbourne. Each move added a new layer to the car’s character, but through it all, one thing remained constant: this 911 was always a reflection of its owner’s deep passion for air-cooled Porsches. As the saying goes, “air-cooled or you’re not cool.” For this owner, it was never just about the car—it was about living the dream of owning one of the best, and the journey was as important as the destination.
Building the car with Nakai-San is a memory that stands out above all others. “The process was amazing,” the owner recalls, “a dream come true to work with Nakai-San on such a special project.” However, not every adventure was smooth sailing. A road trip back from Adelaide turned into a complete nightmare, with challenges that tested the owner’s patience and perseverance. But as with all great stories, it was the tough moments that added to the legend. The ultimate goal? To drive the RWB to every state in Australia, building it and driving it every step of the way. The journey continues, and each new mile brings a fresh layer of excitement and pride.
AIR-COOLED TARGA
Simply put, this 911 is the best RWB air-cooled Targa in Australia. Its captivating beauty, unique build, and the passion that has gone into every inch of its creation make it stand out among the best of the best. This 911 isn’t just a car—it’s a rolling work of art that embodies the very spirit of Porsche’s air-cooled legacy.
With its unparalleled performance, craftsmanship, and undeniable presence, it’s a car that continues to turn heads and spark conversations. As the owner says, “Why wouldn’t you want to see it? Are you blind?” It’s a true masterpiece to behold. A car like this isn’t just built; it’s lived, and its journey is far from over.
