This 1972 Porsche 911 is a claimed 1-of-4 car, due to its equipment and distinctive shade of red paint known as Fraise. It’s an interesting 911 for sure, as it’s a Targa model ordered with the desirable “S” package, so the low production claim is not a surprise. While it may appear just to be another red 911 to many of us, the value of a limited production color on a desirable “S” model will also push the desirability factor higher. Find it here on eBay with one bid to $25K.

The 911 is fairly rusty, but it’s hard to discern exactly how deep it penetrates. The seller notes that he is including extra doors, a hood, trunk lid and fenders from a separate 911 in excellent condition. To me, that would indicate these matching panels on the car now are past the point of reasonable restoration; then again, for a rare specimen like this, I would prefer to see the correct panels restored provided they were not previously replaced.

Two engines are shown, one installed and one out of the car. No mention is made of the second engine or whether the current one is past the point of rebuilding. No word, either, about whether the engine installed in the 911 is numbers matching, but the seller says “…references included for proof” of the 911’s heritage. This isn’t necessarily the same thing as a Certificate of Authenticity, so finding out what documentation is included would be wise.

The data plate is clearly not attached to the 911 at the moment, instead being photographed on a countertop. This isn’t the end of the world, but it does make further due diligence a requirement to ensure this plate matches the various locations on the car where identifying numbers are etched in. While the 911 is a rare bird and comes with other desirable features, including Fuchs wheels and Recaro seat frames, more information would be helpful for verifying its authenticity.
