If this garage could talk, it would likely tell us that the owner of this 1971 Porsche 911 Targa had a thing for sports cars. Sharing space with a Jaguar E-Type coupe, this 911 has been modified to resemble an RS-style car, with the changes appearing to be largely cosmetic in nature. The RS wing and front apron are present, and a variety of other tweaks are evident in the photos. The seller notes it is a matching numbers car with just over 100,000 original miles and less than 200 miles on an engine rebuild completed 10 years ago. Find the 911 here on craigslist in Montclair, New Jersey for $69,900.

While many of us – myself included – tend to lean toward preservation-spec cars over modified examples, the appearance of this lowered 911 Targa may give pause to those who rarely deviate from factory configuration. The lowered suspension, performance exhaust, and aero enhancements all combine to give the impression that this 911 is a street fighter, and not some conversation piece to park in a Wall Street bozo’s basement next to his wine collection. Too often, long-hood 911s are treated like museum pieces (and, sadly, this one probably will be by its next caretaker), but it’s clear the previous owner built this car to actually be driven.

The interior is mostly original save for the seats, which appear to come from a different car (I could be wrong – but they don’t look like old-school 911 buckets.) The dash isn’t cracked and the carpets are clean. The seller does note that in terms of updating, the door panels and carpets were both replaced (which is why the latter looks so good.) The body also benefits from some updates, as the original Tangerine paint was stripped down and repainted. So, despite the modifications, this is still a matching-numbers car wearing the same color paint it left the factory with. It seems to be a case of the best of both worlds, in many ways.

The lack of miles racked up following the rebuild is unfortunate and makes you wonder what happened to see all that work done and then not drive the car any meaningful distance. There is also a six-point welded roll cage inside the cabin, so perhaps this was intended to be a track day warrior – which is why the preference clearly wasn’t set on “garage queen.” The clutch and flywheel were replaced at the same time as the engine rebuild, so they, too, only have 200 miles of usage. I don’t expect this 911 will stick around long, so move quickly if you want to take this one home and add some much-needed mileage to the clock.
