'. . . This 1973 Porsche 911S Targa is finished in Silver Metallic over a black leatherette interior and shows an indicated 81k miles. Sold new by a dealership in Lincoln Nebraska, it was built during the final year of longhood F-series 911 production and comes equipped with a set of optional sport seats, and dealer-installed air conditioning. Power comes from a fuel injected 2.4-liter flat six paired to a 5-speed manual transaxle, both of which are numbers-matching and have been rebuilt within the past six years. This 911S is being offered by an independent Porsche shop in Arizona on the seller’s behalf, and offered with documentation, a Porsche CoA, and a clear Nebraska title
A repaint in the factory Silver Metallic was performed in 1994. Photos of the process, showing the exterior trim removed and the exterior primed have been provided int he gallery below. Deco-trim and wheel well moldings were reinstalled during reassembly, as the car was originally equipped. The targa top has also been recovered in recent years. A few imperfections have accumulated in the trim and paint since the work was completed.
The 6″x15″ Fuchs wheel were reconditioned and come wrapped in Michelin tires. Braking is from 4-wheel vented discs with aluminum ‘S’ calipers up front, and the system is plumbed with braided stainless hoses.
The interior is described as a mix of original and replacement items, including the factory-installed sport seats and Blaupunkt stereo. Air conditioning was reportedly added by the dealership using factory components when the car was new, and the system was serviced in the last year. Approximately 81k miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer.
In S trim, the mechanically fuel-injected 2.4-liter flat six was factory rated at 190 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. This example was reportedly rebuilt approximately 2,500 miles ago in 2014 by a Nebraska-based specialist, with machine work handled by Walt Watson of Competition Engineering. A replacement 1973-specific, RS/S style trombone oil cooler has been added in the passenger side front fender. The 5-speed 915 transaxle was reportedly overhauled two years prior.
Engine #6331487 is shown above and matched by the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity below. A photo of the matching transaxle stamping #337336 is provided in the gallery.
