1972 Porsche 911T Targa VIN: 9112111748 Engine No.: 6124272 Exterior Color: Light Yellow (Paint Code 117) Transmission: 5-Speed Manual   This 1972 Porsche 911T Targa is a well-preserved, long-term family-owned example finished in its factory-correct Light Yellow exterior over a black interior.    The car is equipped with a 2.4-liter air-cooled flat-six engine bearing serial number 6124272, which is within the correct engine-number range for a 1972 Porsche 911T. The engine has been converted from the original Bosch mechanical fuel-injection system to PMO carburetors, with California Bureau of Automotive Repair documentation present for the carburetor conversion. The vehicle is equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission. Notable 1972 model-year features include the distinctive external oil-filler door located on the right rear quarter panel. The car also features Fuchs-style alloy wheels, a removable Targa roof panel, period-style Blaupunkt radio, and air-conditioning equipment. The exterior presents very well overall and retains its factory Light Yellow color, as confirmed by paint code 117 on the original paint identification plate. The finish shows minor age-related imperfections, including small chips, scratches, and localized cosmetic wear consistent with a vehicle that has been driven and enjoyed rather than comprehensively restored. The black interior is in good overall condition and retains a largely period-correct appearance. The dashboard, instrumentation, steering wheel, door panels, carpeting, seating surfaces, and rear interior area present well, with normal wear consistent with age. The original-style black-faced gauges remain in place. The engine compartment presents as an honest, driver-quality example rather than a freshly restored or cosmetically detailed engine bay. The vehicle reportedly starts, runs, shifts, brakes, and drives very well. Inspection of the photographed underside, floor-pan areas, rocker sections, front suspension-pan region, and rear chassis areas revealed no obvious evidence of major structural rust or perforation. The underside retains extensive older undercoating and normal age-related surface oxidation and road grime. Because undercoating can conceal prior repairs or corrosion, no representation is made that the chassis is completely rust-free. Overall, this Porsche presents as a highly desirable and well-preserved 1972 911T Targa with attractive factory color, desirable 5-speed transmission, correct-period engine, strong family provenance, and very good overall drivability. Its condition is best characterized as a very good driver-quality example, rather than a concours-level restoration. Appraised Fair Market Value at Auction: $95,000
