THE 2.7 TARGA
In 1974 Porsche introduced its new 911 model with the most obvious change being the black impact bumpers and red wrap around rear light with PORSCHE inscription. Till 1976 these cars still had lots of chrome like the previous generation: mirror, window frame, door handles, headlight rings,...
The program for the 1974 model included three engine and two construction variants. All vehicles had the 2.7-liter engine. In the 911 and 911 S models with 150 and 175 hp, a Bosch K-Jetronic provided the fuel-air mixture preparation, while in the Carrera the mechanical injection taken over from the predecessor Carrera RS provided for 210 HP. The 911 was available as as coupe and Targa, and for the first time the Carrera could also be ordered with an open roof. While the base prices (from today’s point of view) were quite attractive (26,980 DM for the 911, 30,980 DM for the 911 S), the extras could push up the price considerably. So a fully equipped 911 could cost a whopping 40,000 DM.
Today it became difficult to find an original and unmolested 911!
THIS 2.7 TARGA
This lovely Targa started its life in the USA were it became a movie star at the beginning of the 90's. In 1995 it came to Europe via the Netherlands to finally arrive in Belgium just before 2000. After being stored away for a long time the car just recently received a small restoration & extensive mechanical overhaul.
The paint and all gaskets are restored, wheels have been refurbished and provided with new tires. Fuchs wheels are available as an optional extra!
On the mechanical side of things brakes were completely overhauled including pads, brake linings, master cilinder,... The engine was completely checked, tuned and equipped with an electronic ignition, new exhaust system and oil tank. New lights are installed all around.
The interior is completely original and is a silent witness of how good the car has been maintained through all those years. Only the sun visors are new!
This is a great opportunity the acquire an early small bodied 911 in perfect condition. Currently the car has Belgian papers and it comes with some nice history & pictures.
