The Porsche 911 Targa, first introduced in 1966, was a direct response to anticipated American safety regulations that threatened to outlaw convertibles. Porsche ingeniously engineered a "safety cabriolet" with a robust roll bar and removable roof panel, offering open-air thrills without compromising structural integrity. By 1972, the 911 was in its "F-series" iteration, a refined evolution of the original design. The 911 T, or "Touring," represented the entry point into the 911 lineup, powered by a 2.2-liter flat-six engine that, while less potent than its E and S siblings, still delivered the quintessential air-cooled Porsche driving experience and an intoxicating soundtrack. These early long-hood 911s are celebrated for their purity of design and direct mechanical feel, embodying the essence of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars in history. This 1972 Porsche 911 T Targa, chassis number 9112110356, presents a captivating opportunity to own a piece of that heritage. Showing 99,573 miles (though true mileage is unknown), it retains its numbers-matching 2.2-liter engine (number 6110373) paired with a period-correct 5-speed 915 manual transmission, ensuring an authentic driving experience. The car is finished in a striking Metallic Blue (Code 324) that beautifully complements its classic Targa lines, making it a standout example of the breed. This 911 T Targa stands ready for its next enthusiast owner to continue its journey on the open road.
