1973 Porsche 911 Targa – 2.7L Flat-Six – Metallic Green over Green Tartan
Motors Corner presents this 1973 Porsche 911 Targa, a beautifully restored and tastefully modified long-hood 911 finished in metallic green over a striking green tartan interior.
Originally delivered in the United States as a 911T Targa, this example has evolved into a highly desirable driver's car. While it no longer retains its original engine or factory color combination, the modifications have been executed with care and remain faithful to the spirit of Porsche's early 911s.
Power comes from a 2.7-liter air-cooled flat-six sourced from a 1977 Porsche 911S, paired with a 915 5-speed manual transmission. The result is a more responsive and capable driving experience while preserving the character and analog feel that make F-series 911s so special.
The car underwent a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment and presents today in excellent condition throughout.
