Originally sold by Volkswagen North Central Distribution Inc. in
Deerfield, Illinois on December 28, 1972. By 1978, the Targa traded
hands to a local in Illinois who had the 911 for two years until
eventually trading hands to the previous owner, Mr. Friedrichs. Mr.
Friedrichs drove the 911 from 1980-2000, aspired to increase the
performance of his 911, and began his journey to complete his
dream.
Mechanically powered by a twin-plug Carrera 3.0L flat-six engine
(Type 930/2) paired with a 915 5-speed manual transmission and
four-wheel disc braking system. Details of the build and upgrades
performed from 2011-2013: The engine was rebuilt by Volkers German
in Santee, California, and is a Carrera 3.0-liter case and features
a modified 964 oil pump, NCM crankshaft, JE pistons and cylinders,
SC heads, 49mm cam towers, upgraded Carrera tensioner kit, Carrera
3.0 distributor, Billet adjustable oil return tubes, and PMO 46mm
carburetors. The transmission is a standard 915, and a Tarret
Engineering Rennshirt performance shifter was installed. The engine
was later upgraded to a twin plug specification by SuperTec
Performance in Fallbrook, California, and included the Supertec
head stud kit, MSD 6 AL ignition box, NGK spark plugs, MSD high
vibration coils, twin plug wire set, twin plug ignition
distributor, RSR plug wire holders, RSR plug connector holders,
regrind cams to DC 60, machine heads and valve covers. The
suspension is set up with Elephant Racing spring plates, Tarett
Engineering adjustable rear sway bar, Bilstein shocks, and Tarett
Engineering adjustable front sway bar. Braking is handled by OEM
930 Turbo brake calibers with cross-drilled rotors.
In 2023 European Collectibles purchased this 911T Targa. After
inspecting the 911 we performed a windows out complete respray to
the original factory color of Aubergine, which is accompanied by
original glass, new rubber seals, and aluminum trim. The upholstery
was completely retrimmed with black vinyl and new German carpets.
The result is a beautifully restored 911T Targa cosmetically and
mechanically, presented in its original color combination. Complete
with the original owner's manual, Porsche maintenance service
booklet, 72-73 Technical Specifications booklet, and a large 3-ring
binder with extensive documentation over 51 years of service
history. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an R Gruppe
911 that is well sorted.
