We are pleased to present this 1971 Porsche 911T Targa finished in crowd favorite Albert Blue over a Black leatherette interior. This example has been part of a private collection since 2010 and has recently been refreshed with a new Targa top and an engine out mechanical overhaul. This 911T is now being offered for auction by the current owner in New Jersey with fewer than 76k miles on the odometer.
Refinished some years ago in Albert Blue, which many consider to be one of the most desirable colors from the era. It would be difficult for even the keenest eye to discover the car's original color of Burgundy. This exterior color beautifully complements the sweeping metal work of classic 911’s and provides an appealing contrast to the abundant chrome trimming throughout the exterior. The seller notes the exterior to be in driver’s condition with areas of pitting, chips and scrapes from road use over the years. Detailed exterior images are provided in the photo gallery. The Albert Blue paint is accentuated by a recovered and refinished Targa top and a set of European H4 headlights. The stance is completed with original 15x6 Fuchs wheels that come wrapped in Michelin tires.
The classic Black leatherette interior with houndstooth inserts is stated to be in excellent condition. This well-cared for example features rare added sport seats that utilize more aggressive bolster support to hold the passengers in place during spirited cornering. An aftermarket Sony Bluetooth head unit and custom under dash speakers have been installed to provide a more modern approach to in-car entertainment. The seller notes that all gauges, electronic components, and accessories are fully functional aside from the turn signal – which must be held down to function.
This 911T retains its original carbureted 2.2L flat-six engine developing approximately 125 HP and is connected to a factory 5-speed 901 gearbox. Performance is enhanced by a 911 S front suspension and braking system. A major engine out service was completed in 2016 which included a new alternator, chain tensioners, valve adjustment, lower engine valance covers, plugs, wires, oil tank, and new rear shocks. A detailed log of all worked performed is included in the galley. The thorough maintenance performed by the current owner ensures this vehicle remains in excellent mechanical condition.
The 1971 911T Targa enjoyed a limited production run of only 1,523 units for the model year, making this example a highly collectible piece of Porsche history. The bulletproof 901 gearbox and properly maintained carbureted flat-six engine contribute to the exhilarating air-cooled experience.
The sale of this 911T will include a set of keys, service records, invoices from the restoration work as well as a clear New Jersey title. If you have been waiting for a driver’s grade classic 911 this 1971 Targa is the car you have been waiting for.

@carsinc Great. Seems simple to me. That’s an easy one. Solid car, great looking. Just needs some love to the top. Thanks
@Alixa The way the auctions work on this site is you will not know if you have met the reserve until the auction ends. Once it ends, it either announces to the high bidder that you have one the auction or it announces reserve not met. That is the format PCar Market uses.

Really like the car!!!. Is reserve met?
Very nice car with the top being the weak link. It will leak air and water. The inner reinforcement was never done and improper vinyl and beading were used when last work done on it. It will cost $1395 to make right. It is a shame for the car is so nice.
