BaT Description:
This 1972 Porsche 911S Targa was reportedly imported to the US from Germany in 1976 and was acquired by the seller in 1977. The car is finished in Light Yellow over black and is powered by a numbers-matching 2.4-liter flat-six paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Features include a removable targa top, limited-slip differential, front spoiler, fog lamps, and a cassette stereo. Service in 2018 included an oil change and replacing the shifter ball cup, hand throttle, sway bar bushings, and fuel pump. This 911S is now offered with service records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
A repaint in the original shade of Light Yellow was carried out during previous ownership, as were repairs to the rear decklid and right rear quarter panel. The rear window wiper has been removed, and the seller touched up corrosion around the headlight trim rings. Noted flaws include a hole in the targa bar from a previously mounted antenna, orange peel on the lower right corner of the rear decklid, a dent around the left door handle, and corrosion in the door jambs and battery box. Additional features include US-spec lights, a body-colored front lip spoiler, fog lamps, a removable targa panel, a brushed-stainless-steel targa bar, aftermarket side mirrors, and a 1972-only oil tank filler location ahead of the right rear wheel. 15″ Fuchs wheels feature black centers and wear Bridgestone Potenza tires. Braking is from four-wheel discs, and the sway bar bushings were replaced in 2018.
The interior is upholstered in black and features replacement seats with cloth inserts reportedly sourced from a later 911. Additional equipment includes manual windows and door locks, a four-spoke steering wheel with a hand-stitched leather cover, aftermarket latch-and-link lap belts, and an aftermarket cassette stereo and speakers. The hand throttle and shifter ball cup were replaced in August 2018. There is a crack in the dash and tears and seam separation are noted on both seats. Instrumentation consists of a central 8k-rpm tachometer, a 300-km/h speedometer, and gauges for fuel level as well as oil level, temperature, and pressure. The five-digit odometer has reportedly rolled over once and currently shows 46k kilometers (~29k miles).
The 2.4L Type 911/53 flat-six features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and drives the rear wheels through a Type 915 four-speed manual transaxle equipped with a limited-slip differential. Pressure-fed timing chain tensioners have reportedly been added, and service in August 2018 included an oil change and replacing the fuel pump. Engine stamping *6320653* matches the number shown on the Porsche CoA, confirming it as original. A photo of the matching transmission number (220417) is provided in the gallery.
The 1993 Porsche Certificate of Authenticity lists the optional equipment as well as the original colors and powertrain numbers.
