FS 1973 911 E Targa With 1973 S Engine

[69S-S/R]

I am assisting a friend in the sale of his 1973 Targa.

For Sale
1973 Porsche 911 E Targa
VIN 9113210575
Price $25,000.00

General – This 911 E was purchased by the present owner in 1989 without an engine. Shortly thereafter the car was repainted, from black to silver and a 1973 911 S engine was installed. This engine had been rebuilt in 1984 to 2.7 RS specifications. The car only been driven approximately 20,000 miles since that time. The car was in storage between 1981 and 1989. This is an above average performing Targa and is being sold at a very competitive price.

Body – All body gaps and panel fit are very good to excellent, there is no evidence of any collision damage and there is no evidence of any rust in the car with the exception of very minor surface rust on the underside of the floor pan and in the front compartment floor. The paint is very good to excellent, however there are several small stone chips in the front of the hood and in the windshield.

Engine – A recent leak down check showed loss of 7%, 7%, 4%, 6%, 4% and 7%. All of the standard MFI components are installed.

Transmission – was rebuilt in 1983 and a new clutch was installed and it shifts properly.

Suspension and brakes – have received routine maintenance and the brake fluid was recently changed. The tires and wheels, shown in the photos, have been replaced the ones shown in the last two photos. The replaced tires are worn and should be replaced.

Interior - The condition of the interior is good, with slightly worn carpets and factory style Recaro sport seats, in very good condition, are installed.

The car is located in Denver, Colorado and is available for inspection.

A photo album of the car can be viewed at:

In the grand scheme of things, looks like a very nice buy. For reference, what is the engine number?

[69S-S/R]

I will get the engine number and post in a day or two.

IMO unless there is some major rust lurking you can not tell from the pictures I would say run don't walk to buy this one. Very competitive price. I think he is leaving some $ on the table. But what do I know

[Zithlord]

Sure the car was ever black? I see glue in the luggage compartment for the carpets on top of the silver, and the beams in the engine room has silver on top of original undercoating. If it was ever black the car must have been completly apart for a repaint this complete.

is there a paint tag in the door post?

Looks like a great buy

Is this a great buy? Or are prices continuing to dive? I'm aware of all the talk about an economic recovery as indicators at a macro level supposedly show improvement, but it still feels awfully soft on the ground. Unemployment here in Central Oregon is 18%.

I don't mean to hijack the thread - this does look like an outstanding buy. And Tom can be counted on to describe things accurately.

Cheers,

Price, Price, Price! This car a very good buy and value, and I do have a tentative commitment to sell the car. The owner had decided to thin his herd: 1957 Speedster race car/restoration project $80,000 - sold, this 911 E - pending sale, and an exceptional 914/6 $40,000, accepting offers, go to:

for the photo album, email me at tomlynns@aol.com for a description of the car if you are interested. I agree that the 911 E was probably not a color change, perhaps I misunderstood the owner and he may have been referring to the 1973 S Targa which was the engine donor car.

Thanks one and all,
