SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1973 Porsche 911T Targa, showing just 23,534 miles (37,872 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in its original Light Ivory paint and retaining a matching-numbers drivetrain, this example stands out for its exceptional preservation and documented originality.

Ordered new by Dr. Robert Baller in October of 1972, the car was specified with the Comfort Group, alloy Fuchs wheels, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and rare factory air conditioning. After accumulating approximately 20,000 miles, it was stored indoors under a car cover for decades, preserving both its exterior finish and largely untouched interior.

Today, this Targa remains remarkably original, supported by extensive documentation and long-term Porsche enthusiast ownership history. With light interior work completed around 2019 and careful mechanical upkeep, it presents as an unusually well-preserved final-year long-hood example.

For bidders/buyers: We strive to provide clear and accurate auction listings, but the information should not be considered a complete assessment of any vehicle for sale. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to view vehicles in person, arrange independent inspections, and conduct their own due diligence to ensure the vehicle meets their requirements.

Descriptions, commentary, or observations are offered in good faith and represent general, non-expert impressions only. We do not verify or guarantee vehicle condition, mileage, or history, and this information should not be interpreted as a professional inspection or evaluation. Vehicles are not subjected to formal inspections unless explicitly stated. 

Vehicle videos are typically recorded with standard equipment, so audio quality may vary, and engine or exhaust sounds may differ from how they are perceived in person.

All vehicles are sold on a strictly “as-is, where-is” basis. No warranties apply, and bidders must satisfy themselves as to a vehicle’s condition and suitability prior to bidding. Bidders should note that SBX Cars provides information in good faith but cannot verify every detail of the vehicles; the responsibility for assessing condition and suitability rests with the buyer.  For more details, please refer to our FAQs.
