- Bosch mechanical fuel-injected air-cooled flat-six, ~158 bhp
A 1970 Porsche 911E Targa purchased new from a Pittsburgh dealership and kept in Arizona's dry desert climate throughout its entire life by a single owner. The car retains its original Bosch mechanical fuel injection, factory air conditioning, Fuchs alloy wheels, and hydro-pneumatic self-leveling front suspension. It is accompanied by an extensive documentation archive spanning from original break-in service records to the factory dealer order sheet, making it among the most thoroughly documented examples of the post-1969 long-wheelbase first-generation 911.
