If you want to (re)capture the thrill of the true Porsche driving experience, or are looking for a sound automotive investment, look no further than this beautiful Porsche 911 T Targa. The car belonged to the owner of a Porsche repair shop, who did the modifications. After that it spent several years in a private collection in Colorado, where it saw very few miles, but did garner some concours ribbons (included).

This car is so much fun to drive, and turns heads everywhere it goes. The distinctive white racing stripes on black are echoed in the interior with period correct Recaro sport seats featuring white leather inserts. The interior is beautiful; all carpets etc have been replaced.The clock is the only thing that doesn't work, but is intact and can be repaired (this is a typical issue). The car is fitted with a Momo steering wheel, but the original wheel is included. The body is solid with no rust, no filler. Even the battery boxes are fine and the car is currently fitted with a gel battery in the smuggler's box. Spare Fuchs is intact and included.The car has been fitted with a ducktail, and has the S option spoiler.

Handling is superb , as  the car is fitted with Bilstein 'green' struts, after market adjustable anti-sway bars and a tower brace. Braking is also excellent due to the later model Carrera brakes which are currently fitted. The original S type aluminum calipers, disks and spare pads are included in the sale to maintain the cars authenticity.

Now to the drive train. This car flys! The transmission was rebuilt with a short track "airport" gear set which reduces the to speed to about 125 MPH, but it flys through the gears to get there. The 915 transmission is smoothest I have driven, and the kevlar clutch is new, flywheel was resurfaced, and transaxles rebuilt. While the engine was out I also had the engine resealed (gaskets, main seal) It has a short shift kit. The original engine has been bumped up to 2.7 litres, and the build was meticulous. I estimate this engine to have approx. 125 HP. Webber carbs were added, SC cams, turbo chains and valve covers, and upgraded chain tensioners. Ignition is via a Permatune unit with Nology wires. The car is equipped with SSI heat exchangers, and a dual outlet exhaust. The sound is intoxicating. The cars pulls strongly to redline at 7,300 RPM. With a weight to HP ratio close to 10:1 this car really holds it's own. Power is smooth through out the power band, but really comes on above 4,000 RPM. There is also a large front mount oil cooler with a Mocal thermostat and braided stainless steel lines.

These cars are rapidly increasing in value, and the 1973 911T was selected by Porsche to restore to be raffled in 2011 in support of PCA. A Porsche official at that time declared it one of the most collectible cars in the Porsche model line. I will trully miss this car and I am sure I will come to regret the sale,  but my track car seems to take all my time (and money), so I hate to see this car languish in the garage.

The car is currently located in Ottawa Canada, and buyer is responsible for pick-up/shipping. if you have any questions please contact me and I will respond promptly.

Note: I made a few errors in the listing:

"transaxles rebuilt" should read "CV Joints rebuilt"

"125 HP" should read "225 HP"

I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.
