Selling a 1973 Porsche 911E Soft Window Targa

 

While the 1973 Porsche 911E Soft Window Targa was nearly identical to the 1972 model, there are a few small differences that can help buyers identify your particular model as a 1973. First, on the earlier models an oil-filler was positioned on the right-rear wing of the car, similar to a gas-filler. On this particular model-year, that oil-filler was moved back to its traditional spot under the hood. While unable to be seen, the 1973 Porsche 911E also gained strengthening beams in the doors to give better protection in side collisions. Visually, buyers will also notice that your 1973 Porsche 911E Soft Window Targa features headlight and taillight surrounds, as well as front quarter grilles that were now finished in matte black rather than chrome. Wheels were also a bit different, as the 1973 911 offered cast aluminum wheels known as “cookie cutter” models. Part of the F-Series of production, this was also the last of the short-lived 2.4L 911E models.
