1973 Porsche 911 T 2.4 Targa

9113111847roadGermany

Engine: 2.4L flat-six with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection
Colour: Aubergine (dark purple)

A 1973½ Porsche 911 T 2.4 Targa finished in rare Aubergine, representing the final season of long-hood 911 production. Built for the North American market, it carries the distinctive Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection that distinguishes mid-year 1973 U.S.-specification cars from their carbureted counterparts worldwide. The numbers-matching engine, five-speed gearbox, and Fuchs alloy wheels add to its appeal. Early ownership was in Alabama, and the car shows just over 28,000 miles with a documented service history.
