Classic Porsche longhood in Los Angeles, California.
This original, unmolested very good driver-quality, long-wheelbase longhood (F-model) 1970 Porsche 911T Targa was built in October 1969, and imported into Los Angeles in December 1969. Originally Irish Green, it was disassembled and resprayed in (Bahia?) red by a previous owner, features a flawless black leatherette interior, and is powered by a 2.2-liter flat-six paired with a freshly-rebuilt (<500 miles) original 4-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes S-package instruments and oil tank with level sensor, 15″ Fuchs wheels (with Fuchs spare), a brushed stainless steel Targa bar, a black removable roof panel, locking front hood, heater, heated rear window, newer carpeting and coco mats, front and rear seat belts, and a custom shift knob. This 911T Targa is offered with a clean California title.
The car features H1 headlights with Bosch 4487 lenses (used on SWB) that follow the slope of the fender, rather than the H4 lenses with sharp edge at the top (sugar scoop headlights are included in sale), a driver-side mirror, square-lipped chrome exhaust tip, original partial tool kit/pouch, original owners manual with plastic pouch, and original keys with pouch.
15″ Fuchs wheels feature new 195/65R15 Continental TrueContact Tour tires. All brake lines have been replaced, and the front discs were replaced/overhauled in 2019.
The cabin is upholstered in black leatherette, which was customized by a previous owner who worked in the custom upholstery department at the Porsche Reutter plant in Stuttgart. It features customized French seam stitching along the edge of the instrument gauge binnacle and along the edges throughout the cabin. Additional equipment includes a locking glove box, a period-correct refurbished Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM stereo radio, and a custom shift knob.
The four-spoke wrapped steering wheel fronts a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline, a clock (not working), and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 61XXX miles, and the total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 2.2-liter flat-six is engine number *6106040* which is correct for the car model/year (911/07 911T 6105001 to 6107999, North America). Power is sent to the rear wheels through the original 911/00, #7000247, 4-speed manual transmission, which was recently rebuilt (12/23). (note: If 4 speed was good enough for the 930 turbo, it was good enough for me)
Work done over the last 5k miles consisted of partial engine rebuild, rebuilding the Weber carburetors, replacement of clutch disc and release bearing, pilot bearing assembly, resurface flywheel/pressure plate and balance the assembly, new CDI ignition and coil, and rebuild/replace front brakes. Recent work includes new engine mounts, fresh complete transmission rebuild (<500 miles) by Benton Performance, new front and rear shock absorbers, new turbo tie rods, new CV axles, new tires, wheel alignment, carburetor tuning, new spark plugs and points, valve adjustment, timing, air and fuel filter change, and oil/filter change.
