'. . . This great example was ordered new by Mr. Paul DeVries of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a U.S. specification car with European delivery. Accompanying paperwork confirms Mr. DeVries would take possession of his 911 in Stuttgart on the 4th of February 1972. Importantly, all original manuals and brochures remain with the car, including the stamped Maintenance Record booklet, Owner's Manual, Porsche Service Stations brochure, Porsche Distributors and Dealers, Key to Carefree Driving, Blaupunkt Frankfurt and very rare original International Certificate of Approval book and Volkswagen Insurance Service paperwork for touring around Germany.

9112310399 would remain under the lifelong ownership of Mr. DeVries until his passing in 2014. Equipped with the desired 2.4-liter flat-six "Super" engine and one-year-only outside oil fill, this beautifully preserved 911 remains in excellent condition finished in its original color scheme of Irish Green over black leatherette upholstery. According to the files of Porsche historian Jurgen Barth, the Targa was desirably optioned with air-conditioning, tinted windows, limited-slip differential, through-the-grille fog lamps, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio. Today the 911S retains all original trim, glass - with Weltmeister sticker and equipment. Both front and rear compartments remain very original with factory decals and markings throughout the engine bay and original carpeting, 1/72 date coded spare assembly tool roll and emergency equipment up front. The car exudes a very honest character with authentic details with single ownership recorded from virtually new; here is an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly incomparable 911"S" 2.4L Targa . . .'
