BaT Description:
This 1973 Porsche 911T Targa was sold new at Porsche/Audi of the Palms in West Palm Beach, Florida in April 1973 and is said to have remained with its original owner until 2017. It was repainted the original shade of Metallic Green in 2017, and the interior was also refreshed with black leatherette upholstery along with houndstooth seat inserts. The car was previously listed on BaT in May 2018, and subsequent work included rebuilding the numbers-matching 2.4-liter flat-six and five-speed manual transaxle, servicing the air conditioning, and Jet-Hot coating the exhaust system. This 911T Targa is now offered by the selling dealer in Michigan with factory books and manuals, a stamped maintenance booklet, recent service records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean Illinois title. A glass-out repaint was performed in 2017 in the original shade of Metallic Green (83), with photos taken during the process provided in the gallery below. The car retains factory US-market rubber bumperettes and lighting, including “sugar scoop” headlight housings and all-red taillight assemblies. The 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels wear 185/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires, and a spare is mounted in the front trunk. The car is equipped with chrome lower rocker trim, a polished Targa bar, and black Porsche lettering on the engine lid. The removable targa top was water tested for leaks in 2018.
The interior was refreshed in 2016 with replacement black leatherette vinyl upholstery and houndstooth cloth seat inserts. A later Blaupunkt radio is fitted in place of the original ‘Frankfurt’ unit, and the car came factory-equipped with air conditioning, which was overhauled in 2018. Stock VDO instrumentation includes a central 8k-rpm tachometer and a 150-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer reads approximately 35k miles, roughly 100 of which have been added by the selling dealer.
The 2.4-liter flat-six features Bosch CIS fuel injection and is paired with a 915 five-speed manual transaxle. Factory-rated output was 140 horsepower when new. Work performed in June 2018 by Carrera Car Shop of Huntington Station, New York totaled $30k and included a rebuild of the engine and transaxle, refinishing the engine baffles and cooling fan, and Jet-Hot ceramic coating the exhaust. Engine stamping ☆6133618☆ matches the number shown on the accompanying Porsche CoA, confirming it as original. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity displays the factory colors, options, and powertrain numbers. The video highlights the vehicle’s exterior and interior and also shows footage of the engine idling.
