Representing the final generation of the classic long-hood 911 body style, this 1972 Porsche 911E Targa also features a unique "Ölklappe” external oil filler exclusive to this model year. Upgraded with a 3.2-liter flat-six Carrera engine, it comes finished in red over black upholstery. Among the least common 911 versions at the time, this 911E Targa is one of just 861 produced for 1972. The car was reportedly delivered new in Belgium before being imported to Canada in 1989. It is now being offered for auction out of Canada. This example is being relisted at fault of the previous buyer who failed to complete the transaction.

This 911E was upgraded with a 3.2-liter flat-six engine from an ‘87 Carrera in 2011. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed 915 manual transaxle. The seller notes that a short-shift kit has been installed and the fluids have been replaced. As part of a recent service, a new oil tank was installed and the oil cooling lines were also replaced.

This example is offered with a Canadian registration.
The seller would like you to know: "This Targa combines the best of all worlds for a long hood Targa. (1) It is a 72 with the signature external Oil Cap and the dry sump oil tank repositioned forward of the rear axle to reduce overhang weight. (2) It has arguably the best 911 engine, the 3.2 Carrera engine, renowned for its reliability and ease of maintenance. (3) It is a turn-key, well-built Targa with upgraded and/or refreshed suspension components and with the engine swap done by a renowned Porsche specialist."

Greetings Pcarmarket audience.

During the previous transaction, I had done everything I was asked post sale including a PPI at the Porsche dealership (among so many other requests) but unfortunately the transaction was not consumed as the buyer didn't follow with his obligations.
So here is your second chance on this beautiful well sorted hot rodded 1972 Targa, but this time with a full PPI from Porsche.
Please consult the previous auction as it answers most of the questions and I remain on stand by for any additional questions or concerns.
Good Luck with the auction to all.
