1972 Porsche 911T Targa “Olklappe”

An especially significant model year for the Porsche 911, 1972 saw the introduction of the new Type 915 manual transmission, a larger 2.4-liter engine, and a unique external oil filler lid (Ölklappe) that was discontinued the following year. This 1972 Porsche 911T Targa is finished in vibrant Light Yellow over black interior upholstery and is powered by a 2.4-liter air-cooled flat-six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This example is now being offered for auction in New York. Click here to view the previous PCARMARKET listing. Referred to as an “Ölklappe,” this 1972 example offers an external oil filler lid mounted behind the passenger door on the rear quarter panel. This example is finished in Light Yellow and features a removable black Targa roof panel, a brushed stainless steel Targa bar, a wraparound glass rear window, chrome accents, aluminum rocker and deco moldings, a side-exit exhaust outlet, and 15" Fuchs alloy wheels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery. The cabin is upholstered in black with grey square-weave carpeting. Accessories include an aftermarket leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, roll-up windows, a locking glovebox, and a Blaupunkt Aspen SQR 24 cassette radio. Power comes from a 2.4-liter air-cooled flat-six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, which was factory rated at 140 HP, and drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed Type 915 manual transmission. Standard performance features include four-wheel disc brakes and a torsion-bar suspension. This sale will include a New York registration, the owner's manuals, and a window sticker. The seller would like you to know: "The 1972 Porsche 911T Targa represents one of the most significant milestones in early 911 history, as it was the only year to feature Porsche's external oil filler door before regulations prompted a redesign. Finished in Light Yellow over Black and powered by a 2.4-liter flat-six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a 5-speed manual, it delivers the engaging driving experience that has made early long-hood 911s among the most sought-after sports cars worldwide."
