Description
Much has been said about the iconic 911 models from Porsche. Which one is the best? The answer probably depends on whether you value the design, driving characteristics, comfort, build quality or collectability. Should it be as original as possible? Or should it reflect many of the so called restomods coming in to the market? It is quite difficult to find a firm answer to these questions – at the end of the day it all depends on the preferences of the individual owner.
The 911 model program has developed significantly during the past 60 years and it is fascinating that if you enter a Porsche dealer today, the brand new 992 is carrying over a lot of the elements from Butzi’s original design from back in 1964. No matter how you look at it, the first generation F-Serie represents the clean and classic Porsche design in its purest way.
This car is a 1970 2. 2T Targa delivered from new in Germany. In 1997 the German owner carried out a major restoration and update of body, interior as well as mechanic. When restoring the body, it received SC rear wings and updated chairs in the cabin. The engine was exchanged with an updated 2. 7 unit, which was approved by Porsche Kundendienst and listed in the official German papers. A modern DANSK exhaust provide the right raspy exhaust sound when driving open top.
In 2006 the car was imported to Denmark and registered in the Copenhagen area. It has since had 2 owners. Following a light refurbishment the car is now ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
The car as such is not original nor “matching numbers” – which is clearly reflected by the price – and can be enjoyed as is or be the basis of a restomod project. No matter what, the car drives extremely well and fully lives up to the expectation of a classic Targa Porsche.
