Auction Description:
Striking Example of the 911 S from a Sought-After Model Year
Refinished in its Desirable Original Signal Yellow Color Scheme
Original Specification Confirmed by Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
Invoices on File from UK Porsche Specialists
Evocative Open-Air Targa Model with Factory Air-Conditioning
This particular 911 was completed at Stuttgart on June 1, 1973, making it one of the last models of the 2.4 to be built. Ordered in range-topping S specification, it was also specified as a Targa – Porsche’s trend-setting solution to open-air motoring, featuring a fixed roll bar (integrated as an actual styling element) and a lift-out roof panel. It was originally sold in Florida, with a fashionable Signal Yellow exterior, black leatherette interior, and options such as factory air-conditioning, Koni dampers, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt sound system – details confirmed recently by a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche Cars Great Britain, where the 911 has spent the latter part of its life.
Having undergone considerable restorative work in the UK in the early 2000s, along with a complete glass-out repaint in 2013, this Porsche deserves strong consideration from collectors eager to add an example of the last of the early 911 models carrying the desirable S moniker.
Boy the auction estimates still are very high.

For good reason. Nice cars are still selling for top dollar. I believe many of the low "sold" figures that you're seeing now are for bad cars or from buyers who have to sell.
This was a litmus test for me two weeks ago at Russo & Steel: An early 72 S coupe (9112300020), sport seats, fac A/C, 2.7 on orig case. The car was solid with no evidence of crash damage or rust but needed a complete resto. Bid up to 170 with no sale. (Call it 190 after fees and shipping.) Here's the significance: More than likely an enthusiast with 190k laying around (doubtful) or "spec" buyers bid it up (more likely). Either way, more than one buyer thought spending 190k and then at least another 60k to restore it was a decent investment. It tells me that there are still plenty of people out there who believe we still haven't reached the ceiling. In this case the seller and the bidders.
A car like this typically attracts a "wholesale" buyer, not an impatient, nouveau collector who throws money away. This one car spoke volumes to me about the current market.
