The Porsche 911S, introduced in 1967, quickly established itself as the performance pinnacle of the early 911 lineup. The 'S' denoted *Super*, signifying a more powerful engine and upgraded chassis components over its brethren. By 1971, the 911S featured a 2.2-liter flat-six engine, producing a healthy 180 horsepower, making it a formidable machine on both road and track. This era also saw the continued popularity of the Targa body style, first introduced in 1966 as a "safety cabriolet" with its iconic brushed stainless steel roll hoop and removable roof panel, offering open-air motoring without the full commitment of a convertible. The long-hood 911s, produced until 1973, are particularly cherished for their elegant, unadulterated design and direct driving experience, representing the purest form of the original 911 vision before safety regulations and larger bumpers reshaped its aesthetic. This recently unearthed 1971 Porsche 911S Targa is a truly compelling find, a matching-numbers example that has remained with a single family since new. Though its engine specifications are currently unknown, its provenance as a one-family car hints at a lifetime of care. Originally ordered in the highly desirable and vibrant Tangerine (2310) with a contrasting black interior, this Targa retains its strong originality throughout, from the signature brushed Targa bar to the wraparound rear glass. Presenting as a project, this 911S Targa offers an authentic opportunity to restore a piece of Porsche history to its former glory. This Targa offers a unique chance to acquire a remarkably original, one-family 911S from the highly coveted long-hood era.
