An Exciting Discovery for the Porsche Preservation Purist
9111112345 was completed in March 1971, wearing Burgundy Red (24)
paint over Black Leatherette (11) upholstery, optionally equipped
in U.S. specification, with Automatic Safety Belts, front (L/R),
Blaupunkt Frankfurt Radio, Comfort Equipment, and Pirelli Tires.
The Targa was purchased new on October 23, 1971 by its first and
lifelong owner John Jan of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Jan would
meticulously document all accumulated miles at every fill up or
noted service - from his acquisition at 45 miles in 1971, to his
final entry recorded on July 27, 2017 at 9,892 miles. Today, this
exceptionally original Targa displays just 10,030 original miles.
Jan retained sole ownership of the Porsche until his passing in
early 2019, upon which his niece Anna would inherit the estate.
This charming 2.2L Targa remains in highly preserved condition
throughout. Upon inspection, the particular 911certainly leaves a
lasting impression. The exterior displays an older repaint with
hints of some factory paint, The body panels and gaps are straight
with excellent fit and finish. All glass are factory originals,
retaining correct Sekurit etchings and a period Weltmeister decals
on the right-rear and front windshield, as well as a 2.2L decal on
the rear center. Period AMCO style bumper bars are mounted front
and rear, complementing the rear muffler skirt and front amber fog
lamps. All 5 steel wheels (date stamped 11/70) are mounted with
older 165HR15 Pirelli CF67 tires. The original Targa top is in
exceptional condition.
Inside the cabin is a virtual time-warp to the era and appears to
remain in completely original condition. Upholstery, carpeting,
trim, fitments, and Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio are all original and
remarkably preserved, as expected for an original 10k mile car.
Both front and rear compartments present equally as fit, displaying
clean finishes, and decals in both, while the front is fitted with
original Perlon carpeting, wax-sealed smugglers box, notable
wrappings and appearances. The rear contains its original
matching-numbers engine, (as verified by historian Jurgen Barth),
which appears to have been kept-up mechanically with services
performed in recent years - as noted in the accompanying mileage
log and certain visually updated/freshened parts. A recent 2021
inspection, service, and tune-up included: New Fuel, Fuel Pump, and
Filter, (x2) New Batteries, New Alternator, New Starter, Shift
Coupler Bushings, Hood Dampers (F&R), New Oil and Filter, New
Spark Plugs, Dynameter Testing and Carburetor Tuning - (DYNO
results shown in gallery). Engine compression reads: 135, 145, 145,
135, 140, 145 psi. (photographed in gallery as well)
The 911's undercarriage and underlying areas display cosmoline rust
prevention spray which is still intact and likely helped preserve
the chassis to its current solidity. A truly exceptional Targa, we
offer this "1-Owner", 10k Mile 911 complete with Driver's Manual,
Maintenance Record Booklet in Folio, Tool Kit, Jack & Spare Tire
for worldwide purchase and delivery.
