The Porsche has 114,655 kilometers on the odometer and is in beautiful, well-maintained condition. It is the result of an older restoration, which was carried out neatly and properly at the time. The car has stood the test of time and still presents itself exactly as a classic 911 should: well-maintained, authentic, and with a stunning appearance.
The rare Pascha interior forms a stunning contrast with the red body and gives this 911 a character that is rarely seen these days. Together with the iconic Fuchs wheels and the black Targa bar, it’s a look that’s instantly recognizable.
Removing the Targa roof, the characteristic sound of the air-cooled boxer engine, and the direct steering make every drive special. This is driving as Porsche once intended it: pure, mechanical, and without unnecessary electronics.
This Porsche is not only a stunning classic but also a car for the enthusiast who values originality, history, and the driving experience.
Not a U.S. import
You don’t buy a Porsche just to drive it. You buy it to experience, cherish, and pass it on.
“After more than fifty years, this 911 has become more than just a classic car. It has evolved into a timeless icon.”

Porsche 911 2.7 Targa – 1973 | German origin | Pascha interior | Fuchs wheels
An iconic early 911 Targa, finished in red and featuring a distinctive, timeless look.
A timeless Porsche classic
Some cars stand out because of their design. Others evoke a feeling that is difficult to put into words. The early Porsche 911 Targa combines both qualities in an exceptional way.
This 1973 Porsche 911 Targa features an eye-catching red exterior, combined with a distinctive black-and-white Pascha interior and classic Fuchs wheels. A characterful configuration that perfectly complements the atmosphere and appeal of the early, air-cooled Porsche 911.
With its elegant proportions, recognizable silhouette, and refined details, this Porsche represents a special era in the brand’s history—a period when a lightweight chassis, a six-cylinder boxer engine, and a direct, mechanical driving experience formed the foundation of the 911’s character.
More than fifty years after its introduction, the early 911 has lost none of its appeal. On the contrary: it is precisely the combination of timeless design, technical uniqueness, and unmistakable Porsche character that makes this generation particularly beloved by enthusiasts and collectors.
The 911 Targa – a Distinctive Porsche Concept
When Porsche introduced the Targa in the 1960s, it created a distinctive alternative to the traditional coupe. The removable roof panel and the characteristic roll bar offered an open-air driving experience, while retaining the 911’s recognizable design.
Today, the early Targa models have a charm all their own. The sleek body lines, the striking roof construction, and the beautifully shaped rear fenders give these cars a look that has effortlessly stood the test of time.
The red version really brings out the sporty character of this Porsche. The black bumpers and trim pieces provide a striking contrast to the body, while the classic Fuchs wheels give the car an unmistakable period-correct look.
The result is a Porsche that doesn’t rely on flashy modifications or trendy additions. Its strength lies precisely in the original design and the details that make the early 911 so special.
A Striking Appearance in Red
The red body provides a vibrant backdrop for the elegant lines of the early 911. From the distinctive round headlights and the smoothly contoured front fenders to the sloping roofline and the muscular rear end: Porsche’s characteristic design language is recognizable from every angle.
The Fuchs alloy wheels are an essential part of the car’s appearance. Their iconic design ranks among the most recognizable details in the history of the Porsche 911 and fits seamlessly with the character of this classic.
At the rear, the distinctive engine hood, the horizontal air vents, and the wide Porsche emblem emphasize the recognizable silhouette. The black accents provide a striking contrast and enhance the car’s authentic appeal.
This Targa has exactly what makes an early Porsche so appealing: understated sportiness, elegant proportions, and a presence that needs no further explanation.
The distinctive black-and-white Pascha interior
One of the most distinctive elements of this Porsche is the black-and-white Pascha interior.
The Pascha pattern is among the most recognizable interior designs in Porsche’s history. The distinct geometric motif reflects the creative design of that era and offers a unique alternative to the more common solid interior colors.
Combined with the red body, this creates a distinctive color combination with a strong identity of its own. The interior gives this Porsche extra character and makes it appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the details that set a classic 911 apart.
The cockpit also contributes to the driving experience. The clearly laid-out instruments, the compact seating position, and the functional design put the driver at the center. There’s no excess of modern technology—just an interior where the essence of driving takes precedence.
It is precisely this simplicity that forms an important part of the classic 911’s charm.
The Experience of the Air-Cooled Six-Cylinder Boxer Engine
At the heart of the Porsche 911 lies the legendary air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine, a design inextricably linked to the brand’s identity.
The 2.7-liter engine represents a significant phase in the development of the early 911. Its compact design, characteristic engine sound, and unique power delivery make this generation particularly appealing to enthusiasts.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual transmission. This keeps the driver closely engaged in every drive and allows the car’s mechanical character to shine through.
After all, a classic, air-cooled 911 isn’t just about acceleration or top speed. It’s about the combination of steering feel, mechanical feedback, engine character, and the unique balance of a rear-mounted boxer engine.
That interplay creates a driving experience that is exceptional even by today’s standards. Whether it’s a leisurely drive on country roads or a longer journey through the countryside, the early 911 manages to give every kilometer its own character.
The Targa adds yet another dimension to this. With the roof panel removed, the distinctive sound of the boxer engine and the surroundings become an even more prominent part of the driving experience.
A Special Place in Porsche’s History
The early Porsche 911 holds a special place in the world of classic sports cars. The model evolved into one of the most recognizable and successful sports car concepts ever, without losing its original technical identity.
The appeal of this Targa lies in the combination of its production year, the recognizable body style, the traditional air-cooled technology, and the distinctive finish.
The red paint, the black-and-white Pascha interior, and the classic Fuchs wheels give this car a distinct personality. It’s a combination that draws attention without detracting from the 911’s timeless design.
For enthusiasts seeking a classic Porsche with a distinct period look, this 911 Targa offers an exciting opportunity to experience a special chapter in Porsche history firsthand.
A car to admire, but above all, a car to drive and enjoy.
