1970 Porsche 911 2.2 T Targa - Lot 263

1970 Porsche 911 2.2 T Targa Chassis: 9110111743 French registration Engine 6104079 5-speed gearbox Nice configuration Spared the appendages and outgrowths of later models, the first-generation 911 seduces with its stripped-down lines and original purity. Long neglected in favor of newer, more demonstrative cars, it is today highly sought-after by discerning collectors. Originally christened the 901, and previewed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the 911 went into production in May 1964. It was powered by a 130 HP two-liter engine. At the end of 1968, it was fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection to comply with American anti-pollution standards, the United States being Zuffenhausen's main market. In 1969, the 911's displacement was increased to 2.2 liters. Less sharp than the S version, which was certainly more powerful but had much higher maximum torque, the 2.2 T was more pleasant to drive in regular use. It's worth noting that the car weighs just over a ton. The Targa version was presented at Frankfurt in 1965. It was the only cabriolet version (in this case, a convertible) in the 911 range until the 1980s. Initially regarded as an aesthetic crudeness, the thick chrome hoop became the Targa's signature feature, even on modern versions. The model on offer is one of the first 2.2 T models produced. Presented in the desirable orange hue, it stands out for the care it has received and its overall good condition. A mythical model, ideal for wind-in-the-hair drives, this 911 2.2 t is a great opportunity for a Porsche enthusiast to build up a collection. 1970 Porsche 911 2.2 T Targa Chassis: 9110111743 French registration Engine 6104079 5-speed gearbox Beautiful configuration Unaffected by the appendages and outgrowths of later models, the first generation 911 is attractive because of the original purity of its lines.
