A 1969 North American specification Porsche 911 E Targa, finished in white with red leather interior, delivered new to a dealer in San Antonio, Texas before passing to a single Mexican family in early 1970. Driven sparingly and consistently maintained rather than restored, the car accumulated fewer than 16,000 miles over five decades of single-family ownership. Relocated to Southern California in 2005, it retains its original character and is accompanied by the factory purchase order and historical documentation.
