This particular 1970 911E Targa was a normal North American Market
model completed in October of 1969. It was sequentially the 216th
example completed on a total production run of just 923 vehicles.
The car was ordered new by Inter-Continental Motors Corp., in San
Antonio, Texas. After completion it was delivered in December of
1970 via Porsche-Audi Division of Volkswagen South Central
Distributors Inc., of San Antonio, Texas.
The original order had been placed on behalf of a prominent Mexico
City family that had a large collection of specialty automobiles.
This was the third Porsche the family had ordered and purchased and
the 2nd from Inter-Continental Motors Corp.
The car was ordered with just two options, Tinted Glass and a
Blaupunkt Frankfurt Stereo System. For some reason, the car was
instead completed and delivered new with a Becker Mexico Cassette
Radio System rather than the Blaupunkt System. There are no Porsche
records on why the different radio was installed from what was
originally ordered. The original invoice for the vehicle only notes
a dealer charge of $195 for an "AM-FM Radio." The car was prepared
for delivery to Mexico City and it was formally invoiced on January
15th, 1970 for a total price of $9,082. As it was an export
vehicle, no license or registration fees were collected by the
selling dealer.
The car was then shipped overland and registered as a new vehicle
on Mexico City plates "258 AUM." The car would remain with the
original family that purchased it new from 1970 until January of
2005, when the family relocated and moved to Rancho Santa Fe,
California, bringing all of their cars with them. This Porsche was
then re-registered on California Historic Vehicle plates, "814W."
The car would remain with them in California until just a few days
ago when they contacted our company to sell this and several of
their other vehicles.
During the family's 50 years of uninterrupted ownership, this
Porsche was driven a total of just 15,934 miles. During their
ownership, after arriving in the States, it was given a
comprehensive repaint in the original color and the interior was
partially refurbished, which included new seat covers and attention
to other areas. The only non-original item on the car after
completion by Porsche was the fitting of a Petronix ignition
system.
The car is completely matching numbers, accident free and all part
numbers, casting code and date coded items correspond to the
original assembly of the car by Porsche.
All services are completely current and up to date. The original
alternator has also just been complete serviced and overhauled.
This vehicle is sold with a comprehensive file of the original
records from new as well as complete tools, jack, books, manuals,
warranty card and other Porsche delivery documents that accompanied
the car when it was sold new.
Please contact me if I can assist further in anyway with
inspections, test drives and world-wide delivery of this very
special Porsche.
