This Porsche LWB 911T (1969-1973) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1972 Porsche 911T Targa was built in July 1972 and acquired by the seller in 2016. A subsequent refurbishment included a repaint in its factory shade of Auburgine, replacing the tan interior, overhauling the suspension and brakes, and servicing of the numbers-matching 2.4L flat-six and five-speed manual transaxle. The car is equipped with Bosch fuel injection, SSI heat exchangers, Bilstein shocks, and refinished 15×6″ Fuchs wheels as well as a brushed stainless-steel roll bar, a removable Targa roof panel, a Becker radio, and H4 headlights. This 911T is now offered with refurbishment photos and receipts, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.

The body was disassembled and fitted to a Celette bench for measuring prior to being refinished in its factory color of Auburgine (40). Bodywork and paint were completed by Old School Paint of Santa Ana, California, using a single-stage Glasurit paint. Equipment includes a removable Targa panel, a brushed stainless-steel roll bar, 911S-style bumpers, H4 headlights, and replacement seals and weatherstripping.

Bright-anodized 15×6” Fuchs alloy wheels with black-painted webbing were refinished by Al Reed Polishing and are mounted with Vredestein tires. The suspension and braking systems were overhauled during the refurbishment, and features include Bilstein shock absorbers, four-wheel disc brakes, and replacement hardware.

The interior was redone by K&H European Auto Upholstery of Garden Grove, California, and features front seats upholstered in tan with houndstooth inserts. Additional equipment includes a matching parcel shelf and door panels as well as a replacement dashboard, carpeting, and map pockets. The pedal box and shifter were rebuilt, and a Becker cassette player is installed along with shoulder restraints for the front occupants.

The leather-clad steering wheel frames refurbished VDO instruments including a central 8k-rpm tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, a clock, and combination gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 47k miles and is reported by the seller to have rolled over. True mileage is unknown.

The 2.4-liter flat-six is equipped with Bosch fuel injection and was rated for 140 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque in the 1972 911T. Work during the refurbishment included refinishing the fan and housing as well as replacement of the engine and transaxle mounts. The engine was resealed and the fuel-injection system was serviced in 2022. Features include 930-style lower valve covers, Carrera-style pressure-fed chain tensioners, and SSI heat exchangers.
