Petty Enterprise Targa information?

Hey guys -

Im trying to gather some information on Petty Enterprise Targa customizations they did.

I have one brochure that someone posted on here, but thats about it!

How many were built, how much did it cost back in the day, any information would be awesome.

I also know California Customs built there own edition of this as well, but I only have two scans of advertisements for them.

Thank you all so much,
Chris

Here's the only Petty ones I have.

I some more scans of the Pacific Avatar and the like etc, but I got them off here, so they are probably still on here somewhere...

I can up load them if you really want 'em.

The targa version is beautiful.

I've always wondered what they did with the windows, to remove the glass frames and yet still get the windows to function properly, and seal properly.

I wish I had the opportunity to reverse-engineer a Petty Targa.
