1972 Porsche 911T Targa “Oil Flap”

This 1972 Porsche 911T Targa is a U.S.-market example finished in blue over brown leather and is powered by a later 2.7-liter flat-six equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle. Known as the “oil flap” model, 1972 911s were produced for just one year with an external oil filler flap on the right rear fender—a feature discontinued after customers mistakenly added fuel to the oil tank. This car retains its signature removable Targa roof panel and fixed rear glass, combining open-air driving with structural rigidity.

Believed to retain matching numbers per the seller, this Targa presents as a driver-grade car that was part of a long-term private collection and is now being sold due to collection downsizing. The car shows 70,014 miles on its analog odometer and has been driven regularly in recent years. The 2.7-liter engine—larger than the original 2.4-liter unit—is equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection and is reported to need an overhaul. No mechanical work has recently been performed, and there is no documented service history included in the sale.

The exterior is finished in non-metallic blue with Targa-specific bright trim and aluminum Targa bar. It rides on classic aluminum Fuchs-style wheels wrapped in older tires. The brown leather interior features period-correct appointments including a factory tachometer, analog clock, and Blaupunkt radio. Both front and rear disc brakes are equipped, and the car retains its manual steering setup.

This 911T is being offered as a running project with no documented history or recent service, ideal for restoration or mechanical recommissioning. It’s accompanied by a clean title and is offered on behalf of the seller’s collection with mileage listed as 70,014.
