FS: 1973 911S Targa Original Owner

[RSTarga]

1973 911S Targa

Original owner car.
I drove this May production car off the dealer lot in August of 1973.
It was my daily driver for almost ten years, much of the mileage being highway miles between Mexico City and San Antonio. In ’82 a Turbo became my everyday car and I put the car in for a complete reconditioning at 82,000 miles. The car was thoroughly disassembled down to the bare tub, repainted and refurbished completely. This took about 5 years, emerging as new with the modifications listed below.
Since then the mileage has been limited to fun trips and outings. It’s been meticulously maintained, no expense spared to keep it running as new.
I’m well aware that these days, some may be looking for 100% original cars, and some of the modifications made in the roaring ‘80’s are now not in favour. These are basically; door pockets, seats, 16” wheels, black trim, flares, colour change. However these where all done to a very high standard.
All of the work on the car was done by Jones Autowerkes in San Antonio, Texas. Bill and Bob Jones have been in the Porsche only business for over 50 years and are recognized experts in the 356 and 911 community.

I see many cars that require extensive and expensive rust reconstruction along with extensive mechanical restoration. This is a car that is in perfect condition but has, in comparison, relatively minor requirements, if so desired, to restore it to original specification. Most of it can be accomplished bit by bit while still enjoying the car. This is still a matching numbers car. The original window sticker, dealer invoice, and very complete service records accompany the car.
