1971 Porsche 911S Targa

Introducing this recently uncovered 1971 Porsche 911S Targa, a matching-numbers example that has remained with one family from new. This classic car represents an authentic snapshot of early 1970s Porsche engineering and design, offering the character and mechanical purity that made the long-hood 911 an icon.

Originally ordered in the highly desirable factory color Tangerine (2310) with a black interior, this 911S Targa presents a project car that retains strong originality throughout. The classic Targa body style is highlighted by the brushed Targa bar and signature wraparound rear glass, a defining feature of the era. While time and storage have left their marks, the car retains its core identity and correct configuration, making it an appealing candidate for preservation or restoration.

The car rides on 15-inch Fuchs-style wheels fitted with Michelin tires, with a full-size spare mounted in the front trunk.
