FS: 1972 911 T Targa Gemini Blue

[Orbit]

CAR IS SOLD


Hello

1972 Porsche 911 T Targa
VIN 9112110806
Engine 6121965
Original Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection

PRICE $65,000

I am selling this car for a customer. He bought the car about a year ago from a dealer in Northern California called Dusty Cars. The car has a COA that shows it is a numbers matching car but no service history. The car is showing 85,000 miles on the odometer and this looks to be original mileage by the overall condition of the car which is excellent. There are no signs of rust and no signs of any accident damage. This car still has its original Mechanical Fuel Injection and after a major service and correction of injection pump timing the car is a joy to drive. Starts right away, hot or cold - great throttle response from idle to Redline. This is an extremely original car that has been repainted in it original color of Gemini Blue many years ago, original paint is still present under the hoods and in the door jambs. The paint looks great from as close as 3 feet away but if you get 6 inches away you can see some minor paint flaws in areas, but overall this car could be driven and parked at any Cars and Coffee event with pride. The interior of this car is wonderful, it takes you back in time. The dash is original and in beautiful condition, the carpets are German Square weave and they have never been out of the car. The interior is ready for you if you want to sit down and remember what these cars were like in 1972. There are alot more pictures on my website: www.orbitracing.com . The engine does not look like it has ever been opened, runs well, but has a small drip near the rear main seal area. The 915 gearbox shifts great and feels as if the synchros have been replaced, the shifts are very positive in every gear and there are no strange noise coming from the gearbox during operation. Everything works: horns, turn signals, brake lights, wipers, etc. The exterior of the car is all original and the condition of the trim is very nice. The rubber is still in good condition which is probably due to being from Northern California.
If you are looking for an original 1972 911 T Targa I don't see how you could do any better than this one. It is an absolute pleasure to drive and alot of time has been spent doing little clean-up and maintenance jobs. My customer is selling the car because he needs to have a car with Air Conditioning, or more exactly, his wife does not want to drive around in a car without AC. Please ask any questions and they will be answered honestly.

If this lasts more than a day, I will be shocked. Nice car.

The car comes with a tool kit, not complete, but it is a good start. The COA shows the normal things you would expect. I am looking around for the Red plastic binder with the owners manual and Maintence Booklet.

Based on the photos, it appears to be an outstanding value for $65k.

Here is the original Maintenance Booklet for the car. The original owners lived in Yosemite - the perfect place for a Targa to be driving around. There is no such thing as a perfect 40 year old car, but this one has very little to hide.

The undercarriage of this car is very clean and original. The rear trailing arms have been cleaned up and sprayed black with a rattle can, not by me. It also appears the bottom of the gas tank has been painted and the fuel pump protection plate as well. Otherwise the original undercoating and finish is still intact and stuck to the metal. There are some areas of light corrosion but it is really at the surface and could be cleaned up with a little elbow grease, Ospho, and paint. All the hardware under the car is original and properly marked. The tires will need to be replaced, you can see they are dry-rotted and cracking between the tread. Maybe that is what is keeping this car from being sold, old tires...
