Produced in the latter half of the 1973 model year, this Porsche 911T Targa represents the final production run of the original long-hood 911 body style and the introduction of the improved Bosch CIS fuel injection system. One of approximately 500 “1973.5” Targa models produced, this 911 was sold new at West Porsche-Audi of Monterey, California, finished in Sepia Brown over tan upholstery. It came factory-equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, optional front and rear stabilizer bars, 15” Fuchs forged alloy wheels, the Appearance Group, and Recaro Sport Seats. A lifelong California car, this 911T Targa is said to have been acquired by the seller in 2023 from the original owner. As previously listed on PCARMARKET, this example is now being offered for auction accompanied by the original window sticker, toolkit, and a lifetime of service records.

This 911T is finished in Sepia Brown and features a brushed stainless-steel Targa bar, a removable black roof panel, and polished rocker panel trim included with the Appearance Package. Other equipment includes H4 headlamps, black bumperettes, a fender-mounted antenna, a chrome driver’s side mirror, a “2.4” decklid grille badge, and factory 15” Fuchs forged alloy wheels. The seller believes the passenger-side front fender and rear quarter panel were refinished under prior ownership. Noted imperfections include a small rust spot on the right front fender and rear quarter and a small dent near the driver’s door mirror. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

The tan interior features factory-optioned Recaro Sport Seats and the Appearance Package which adds a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel and combination gauge for oil pressure and battery voltage. Other accessories include manually operated windows, a fresh air vent, a heater, a locking glovebox, variable-speed windshield wipers, and a Pioneer CD stereo. The seller notes a small crack on the dashboard.

Featuring Bosch CIS fuel injection, the air-cooled 2.4-liter 911/91 flat-six engine delivers a factory-rated output of 140 HP to the rear wheels through a 5-speed 915 manual transaxle. The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes and optional front and rear stabilizer bars. The seller notes the engine and transmission are original to the car, the transmission was previously rebuilt, and all service records are available dating back to the original owner's purchase.

This sale will include the original window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, service records, and a clean title.

    Beautiful sepia brown 911T.
    Mine is also a 1973.5 sepia brown 911T with the 2.4 litre CIS motor- but is not a targa. Haven't seen too many of these here or on BaT. While some may not appreciate this color as much as the yellows and greens available that year, I can confirm it is beautiful to see in person. The tan and chocolate interior is perfect. The 2.4 litre is plenty for this light and nimble machine. Here is your early model long-hood 911- get it bought.

    Why run it again out of the deal tank. Unless it's no reserve we all know whether this is heading again.
