Porsche 911 S

The vehicle in detail

Condition and technology

This Targa came to me in 2017 with a body that was almost like new and still had its original paint. The buyer enjoyed driving the Targa for many years, but now needs to find a new garage for space reasons (to make room for another Porsche).

The technology is also impressive: new Koni shock absorbers, front brake calipers, turbo tie rods, and heat exchangers are included, as are the completely overhauled fuel injection system flow divider and the (HK) ignition system. In mid-2022, the car underwent extensive paintwork with a double ceramic coating and is now in almost immaculate condition with its original factory paintwork. The Porsche sports seats from the late 1980s currently fitted are optional – the car is being sold with the original seats from 1977, which are in good condition.

History and model history

This Targa was delivered to California (Culver City) in 1977 in US specification – even the original price tag is still there. Thanks to a large number (over 90) of receipts, the service and ownership history as well as its mileage are easily traceable.

The "narrow" 911 S arrived at (US) dealerships in 1974 and was replaced in the 1978 model year by the 911 SC with wider rear side panels and a 3.0-liter engine. Due to its dual exhaust system and excellent responsiveness, the 2.7-liter engine in the 911 S is very attractive to connoisseurs in terms of both sound and driving performance.

Special features and equipment

The bodywork of this car, still in its original paint, is absolutely exceptional. In addition, the engine, which was delivered without a catalytic converter at the time, the optional Koni shock absorbers, and the additional oil cooler coil, also ordered as an extra, are the best equipment for a sporty 1970s Targa. The fact that the engine was retrofitted with hydraulic chain tensioners is also an indication of the good technical condition of the car—and perhaps also of a partial engine overhaul.
