1973 Porsche 911 T

OVERVIEWThe 911T Targa represents the final expression of the original long-hood 911. The 2.4-liter engine introduced for 1972 was the last displacement increase before Porsche moved to the impact-bumper 2.7-liter cars for 1974, making the 1973 model year the close of the first chapter of 911 history; the Targa body style, introduced in 1967 and named for Porsche's victories at the Targa Florio, added a stainless-clad roll bar and removable roof panel to that platform, and Porsche built 1,302 examples of the 911T in this final long-hood year. Among long-hood 911s, the market hierarchy is clear: matching-numbers cars with documented original paint occupy the top tier regardless of trim level, and sub-25,000-mile examples accompanied by a Porsche Production Specifications certificate and a complete ownership chain are genuinely uncommon in any configuration. The long-hood segment has been one of the most consistently appreciating categories in the air-cooled 911 market over the past decade, with provenance, original finishes, and matching numbers commanding a widening premium over repainted, re-engined, or undocumented examples; this car's documentation establishes all three. The Porsche Club of America maintains one of the most active marque communities in the collector car world; Stoddard Imported Cars and Pelican Parts carry comprehensive parts catalogs specific to the long-hood platform, and the 2.4-liter fuel-injected engine is well-supported through specialist shops with direct air-cooled expertise.View More
