The Porsche 911 is a machine that evolved from a mere vehicle to a deep emotion for many. The first Porsche 911 saw light of day in 1964 and soon after, the Touring variant was introduced in 1967. In addition to the coupe form, the 911 Touring was also available in Porsche’s innovative Targa body style with full roll bar and integrated removable roof panel. The Targa concept gained widespread popularity and has been copied by numerous other manufacturers to date. This stunning vehicle is an ideal option for people who seek a combination of rigidity with the tempting option of open-air motoring. Up for sale in our inventory is a gorgeous 1973 Porsche 911 Targa that enjoys a full restoration done between 2010 and 2011.

Exterior and Interior
The 911 was a modernization of the design of the Porsche 356. The iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable to this day and modern 911s still use the same styling cues. The Targa top of our example car has been recovered during the restoration, granting you the best of both worlds. The car is finished in a deep black paint job, which is the result of a repaint during the restoration. Every aspect of this car has been kept as close to original as possible including the period correct bumpers. The car still sits on period correct 15-inch Fuchs wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. The interior is a time capsule that has been re-upholstered with original black leather. The dash is adorned with a lovely wooden stripe that calls out its vintage mien and the driver is presented with five large analog gauges. The aftermarket removable radio with speakers on the front lower kick panel is another nice addition to this vintage cockpit. The car has been fitted with a new windshield as well.

Engine
A 2.4-liter flat-six engine powers all Porsche 911 models from 1971 to 1973. The Targa variant, like our subject car, offers a respectable 140hp, which won’t break any records. Nevertheless, when combined with the 5-speed manual transmission, the Porsche 911 is renowned and well-respected for providing a fun and engaging driving experience.
