1970 PORSCHE 911 2,2T TARGA
SERIAL NUMBER 9110110020 Nice condition of restoration Many works done FRENCH REGISTRATION In spring 1948, the Porsche n° 1 comes out of a small workshop in Gmünd, Austria : it is a two-seater roadster with a modified Volkswagen engine, placed in a central position on a tubular chassis ... and the 356th project of professor Ferdinand Porsche. A small series will follow: 23 coupes and 23 cabriolets, all with aluminium bodies, but with the engine set back behind the axle and a pressed sheet metal chassis. From 1950 onwards, steel replaces aluminium, production is transferred to Stuttgart and evolves rapidly: 1300 then 1500 engines, choice of several bodies. Spared the appendages and excrescences of later models, the first generation of the 911 seduces by the original simplicity and purity of its line. Long neglected in favour of more recent and more demonstrative cars, it is today highly sought after by discerning collectors. First named 901 and previewed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the 911 went into production in May 1964. It is powered by a two-liter 130 HP engine. In 1968, at the end of the year, it was fitted with Bosch mechanical injection due to American anti-pollution standards, the United States being Zuffenhausen's main market. The power then increases to 170 HP. The displacement of the 911 was then increased to 2.2 litres in 1969. This version is certainly the most versatile model of the range in 1970. Less sharp than the S version, which is certainly more powerful, but whose maximum torque is much higher, the 2.2 is more pleasant to drive in regular use. It must be said that the weight of the car only slightly exceeds one ton, something almost impossible to achieve today on a production car. The Targa version was presented in 1965 in Frankfurt and was the only convertible version of the 911 range until the 1980s. At first, considered as an aesthetic crudeness, the thick chromed arch became the characteristic touch of the Targa which is still added today on the modern versions. The Targa will especially appeal to the United States, a huge market for the German firm. The model presented is a 2.2L T version with dark teal carburetors. This Porsche 911 2.2 T was delivered new in the USA and registered for the first time in January 1970. Aesthetically, many elements were recently redone by the current owner with the help of his father, including : the chrome bumpers the windscreen the rear window Targa vinyl roof Targa vinyl roof -Mirrors all the lights, indicators and headlights. Inside, the black leather upholstery is in very good condition as well as the dashboard, characteristic of the 911 from the beginning until today. Mechanically, this Porsche 2.2T Targa stands out. Indeed, the engine has undergone a very important overhaul, always carried out by the owner and his father; the latter indicate that the engine has been rebuilt to new: the clutch rear brake discs and pads the seals and the points of the Zenith double body carburetors the starter the master cylinder the tank the alternator the timing belt the steering ball joints the complete ignition system This car is now in a very nice condition despite the few aesthetic elements specific to the US versions, it will delight its next owner as the 911 is an easy to use and very attractive car. Our road test showed that this car has lost none of its dynamic character and that the pleasure of driving remains as incomparable as ever.
