The 1973 Porsche 911S 2.4 Targa (chassis 9113310786) represents the final year of the long-hood 911 generation, a matching-numbers example finished in factory silver over a black interior. Delivered new to California, it has remained in the same private ownership for nearly four decades. The original flat-six has been rebuilt and enlarged to 2.8 litres by Precision Motion. Its rust-free, single-state history and well-documented long-term ownership make it an unusually stable example of this desirable F-series model.
