1970 Porsche 911 Targa for sale! This 1970 Porsche 911T Targa is a beautifully restored, matching-numbers example of the classic 2.2-liter C-series 911, presented in the iconic open-roof Targa configuration that has become one of the most recognizable shapes in Porsche history. Chassis 9110112447 retains its original 2.2-liter air-cooled flat-six (engine no. 6104222), delivering approximately 125 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque through a desirable five-speed manual transmission, embodying the responsive, mechanical character that made early long-hood 911s legendary among driving enthusiasts. Originally finished in Pastel Blue over Tan leatherette per factory documentation, the car was taken down to bare metal and restored to a concours standard by the respected Porsche experts at Black Forest Restorations between December 2006 and July 2007, and is now finished in rich Irish Green over a period-correct black interior trimmed with classic houndstooth fabric, a combination that perfectly suits the era and the model's understated sporting character. The comprehensive rotisserie restoration addressed the mechanicals, suspension, undercarriage, bodywork, interior, and chrome plating, resulting in a crisp, highly detailed presentation that reflects careful investment and expert workmanship.
As a 911T, this car represents the Touring-spec entry point into the 911 range of its day, a model introduced in the late 1960s to offer the pure 911 driving experience in a slightly more approachable, less highly strung package while still benefiting from the same fundamental engineering and iconic silhouette as its more powerful siblings. For the 1970 model year Porsche enlarged the flat-six to 2.2 liters for the C-series, improving torque and drivability, and period sources note that only a few thousand 2.2-liter 911T Targas were built over the short 19701971 production run, adding a measure of scarcity to this already desirable configuration. The Targa body style itself occupies a special place in Porsche lore: conceived in the mid-1960s as a safety cabriolet to address anticipated U.S. rollover regulations, it combined a fixed brushed-steel roll bar with a removable roof panel and, from 1969 onward, a fixed glass rear window, creating an open-air driving experience with the structural integrity and profile of a coupe. That distinctive roll bar and wraparound glass would become a design signature for decades, making early long-hood Targas like this one instantly recognizable and deeply evocative of Porsche's late-1960s and early-1970s golden era.
With its matching-numbers drivetrain, factory 2.2-liter specification, and extensively documented concours-level rotisserie restoration, this 911T Targa stands as a highly attractive, investment-grade collectible in the classic 911 hierarchy, especially for enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity, usability, and the unique charm of the Targa format. Early long-hood 911s have long been celebrated for their light, communicative feel and timeless design, and the combination of a period-correct color scheme, five-speed manual gearbox, and carefully restored details makes this example particularly appealing as both a cars-and-coffee centerpiece and a confidence-inspiring weekend driver. For the collector seeking an early 911 that marries significant historical relevance with open-top enjoyment and show-ready presentation, this 1970 911T Targa offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a cornerstone model from one of Porsche's most formative eras.
