The 911S, introduced in 1967, quickly became the enthusiast's choice for its enhanced performance and sporting character within the burgeoning 911 lineup. Representing the pinnacle of the original long-hood generation, the "S" model featured a more powerful engine, upgraded suspension, and distinctive Fuchs alloy wheels. For the 1971 model year, the 911S received the enlarged 2.2-liter flat-six engine, producing a robust 180 horsepower, paired exclusively with a crisp 5-speed transaxle. This era also saw the continued popularity of the Targa body style, offering the open-air exhilaration of a convertible with the added structural rigidity and safety of a roll hoop, a clever solution that became a signature Porsche design. This 1971 Porsche 911S Targa stands as a testament to that golden era of Porsche performance. Showing a remarkably low 17,811 miles, this example retains its original 2.2-liter flat-six engine and 5-speed manual transmission, a powertrain celebrated for its rev-happy nature and engaging driving experience. While the color is not specified, its pristine condition and low mileage suggest a carefully preserved or expertly restored specimen, ready to deliver the pure, unadulterated driving pleasure synonymous with early 911s. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly coveted, low-mileage 911S Targa from one of the model's most desirable years.
